Great video. Thanks. Just wondering how easy is it to remove the tent from the roof racks. I plan to just have cross bars on my Dmax. I was hoping to put a Pulley system on the tent and lift it above the car for storage when not in use.
Its just a couple of bolts & brackets really @max2016, but roof top tents are generally designed to be installed and left. It'd be abit fiddly I'd say, and not something you'd want to be doing often. The main issue is going to be the weight, so if you can address that with a pulley lift system in your shed, you should be ok. ~ Lauren
If you put the pillows in the middle of the tent they won't impede as much. It's just that the canvas from the tent need the outside area of the enclosure to fold in. There will be space in the middle.
Good advice thanks, Andrew, it did feel tight on the sides but what you say makes sense in that there would be more dead space in the middle. Could be worth bunching all bedding up into the middle a little before folding I guess. ~ Ben
As far as we know most of the 23Zero gear comes out of a factory in China. This is the case for most of this type of gear, often different brands from the same factories. ~ Ben
We cover off on a few more of the dimensions in this video, Adam, hopefully it's what you are looking for - ua-cam.com/video/WH01N5BCY6Y/v-deo.html. ~ Ben
@The Traveling Fish, its the Hard Korr 170W fixed panel with the panel mounting kit. www.snowys.com.au/mounting-brackets-for-fixed-solar-panel-4-pack www.snowys.com.au/170w-fixed-solar-panel - Lauren
Wow thats way too heavy. 120 kg is mych more than the ither brands. I love buying 23Zero gear. This brand is my fav and go to but this heavy beast is unfortunately a deal breaker!! 23Z need to really look at a lighter version for the Saber 2.0
125Kg is the carton weight when it's delivered all in a box, the total actual inuse weight is 103Kg - but yep, its bloody heavy. The Panther and Yowie are lighter hardshell alternatives if that helps. ~ Lauren
On our display model the centres are about 77cm apart, Logan. I don't know if this varies slightly from tent to tent though, it would be worth confirming on the tent you purchase before committing to setting anything that can't be adjusted. ~ Ben

Would you know where these tents are made?

Bought mine from snowys just last week… can’t wait for it to come
Happy camping in your new tent, CSx. ~ Ben
Hello. How do you rate your 230 rtt 7 months on. Contemplating purchase. Please and thanks.
What's the height of the tent from bottom of mounting rails to the top of the racks?

Great great review guys just a quick question, what solar panel do you have mounted on those racks, and how is it mounted?
@The Traveling Fish, its the Hard Korr 170W fixed panel with the panel mounting kit.

Screw this!! Have u check Magiolina roof top tents? Is unconparable!
I haven't seen these before, they look nice. I don't think they are available in Australia though. What is is that makes them incomparable? ~ Ben

What is the distance between the two mounting rails?
