    Finally, a review of this tent that covers the details that prospective buyers actually want to know. Thank you 👍

      Thanks! we noticed we had to learn the hard way instead of just telling everyone how great they are. It is really a great tent, but there are these shortcomings others should know.

    Great review., I agree with them all. I have the Autana 3 and my #6 would be the side awnings. While they are sturdy and functional, they are at such an angle and extend so far down the window that if you hope to enjoy the view from the tent, you’re mostly going to see the ground around you.

    It is always good to present the weaknesses together with the strenghts. For me a big plus on this tent is the option to open the roof and there will be others

    I love this review, for those watching this review. Thule sells everything you need to make it a true 4 season tent. Insulation and full length storm cover.

    • @offgridexploring

      Good info Kyle, i'm gonna get the insulation as well!

    Nice, honest review. Hit on all of the downsides I've observed about this tent. The cover, especially. The zipper is impossible. If only they'd added a few inches, it might actually work. Any suggestions on getting around the zipper? Will dropping the cover and strapping it down without zipping it up protect it well enough?

    I'm new to the idea of roof top tents and have been researching roof top tents and this was one of the most helpful reviews / tips video I've seen. These are are the little things you might not think about as possible concerns when you're unfamiliar with these things. With the cost of these types of tents so high it's really important to make an informed choice.

    Very helpful! I'm comparing this tent to the new Thule Foothill (which is smaller) but saves rack space.

    • @offgridexploring

      Thanks Caleb! Id love to see how your Foothill turns out, I haven't put my hands on one yet.

    Great vid just bought mine from rei. I was debating on spending more for the ruggedized version. Any issues with durability when off-roading with your non ruggedize one?

    You can buy two bags at attached to a poll that attaches to the top of the ladder. So you have access to it from the door of the tent.

    The Roam Vagabond has the crappy zipper but it also has the buckles holding on the cover and I just use the buckles instead.

    Boot bag is the best recommendation for sure. When did Thule buy the Tepui brand name? Anybody know? I bought my Tepui 4 years ago. It was just plain old Tepui at that time.

    • @corbinflaming3951
      @corbinflaming3951 3 роки тому

      Tepui was bought by Thule in the winter/spring time of 2020 I’m pretty sure. I bet it was in the works for a while but that’s when Thule was branding itself on the Tepui tents

    Well what kind of tent is the fsr? Lol I’m so undecided leaning towards the fsr

    • @offgridexploring
      @offgridexploring  3 роки тому

      The FSR is the High Country Series 64! But to be honest they are both great!

    We had the same FSR tent - the lack of rain cover over the windows made the FSR practically useless unless it was sunny out. If it rained - you had to keep all of the windows closed.. Very poor design - this guy really needs to test the products - not just on a sunny day

    6:17 This is bull'****. Buy a mobile home if you want thermal insulation. Both tents are not insulating. No matter what the seam is. Even if it is diamond shaped.
