Great video!! We Watch it for a refresh every time we camp now! One thing for any other Subaru owners; you need a carabiner for your trunk lock to trick the car into thinking its locked. Otherwise if you leave your hatch up all night you're going to wake up with a dead battery.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏻
hi, i am interested in how to do this. I am worried that if the trunk is open, the rest of the car doors are open too. anybody could just drive away with my car while we would be sleeping in the tent! huhuhuh. btw, i have a cr-v.
Thanks! I didn't know that and have a Subaru!
Yep! Happened to me.
Thank you for posting this. I am a solo female and this is perfect knowing I could close my hatch at night!!
My trouble is I can’t open hatch from the inside!
@@nancymcshane3501 use a strap (commercial grade velcro) and use that to MOSTLY close your hatch. Leave a strip in the inside of your hatchback long enough to grab and pull on that to unvelcro the loop. Takes a little practice to get the hang of it. I’m a solo female camper as well. If you don’t count my german shepherds.
@@leelindemann7729 thanks, good idea. Will have to fool with it so the light doesn’t stay on.
@@nancymcshane3501 don't you have a keyfob with the hatch open icon?
No, just lock and unlock. I got the tent and really love it because it’s like a screen house, without the rain fly. The one I purchased has a privacy wall over 3 feet tall, and in the summer heat it stays pretty cool with a little fan. Also, you can see the stars through the screen, like it isn’t there!
Just bought this SUV tent for my Jeep and was looking for a one man set up tutorial, thanks for putting out this video...very helpful 👍
Cool! Glad I could help 😊👍🏻
The first video I've seen this perfectly showing all details, i was looking after lots of videos hows the inside part and how the tent is laying on the car itself(wholes etc) but i saw it here thx alot nice video
Excellent job! Very much appreciated. I bought it after watching. Thanks!
Awesome! Hope you have a fantastic summer! 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Great review, thank you very much. I have been looking for a tent like this for sometime and now you have made it easy for me to decide which one to get.
I know it's been over a year since you did this video...but this tent looks very cool. I am making plans to start car camping in the next couple of months and this tent looks like something that would be great to have for a beginner like me and to use in Spring and Summer and early Fall. I'm going to look into getting one of these.
Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to make this video! You helped me understand aspects of this tent that I could not get from the difficult directions! Happy camping! Jeff
Thanks. I've been looking at the Napier. This looks good too, and well made!
Excellent explanation, Steve! Thank you so much.
You are welcome! 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Great video, i'm looking at this tent for my 4runner that I just picked up.
Side note: You could probably use the tie down rings that the 4runner has on either side of your mattress in the rear of the back for those other two clips.
Thank you for the demonstration
Just bought one from amazon, will try it this coming weeks when I receive it. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing. Yet another option to consider. Thanks again.
You’re welcome 😊👍🏻
Great video dude, thank you for taking the time to make this !
Thank you for the feedback 😊👍🏻
Thank you for the review!! It was well done and very helpful.
Appreciate your comment. Have a fantastic weekend 😊👍🏻
Perfect demonstration. Cheers 👍
I just bought this tent and plan to set it up as practice soon. Great tips!
I hope you enjoy it and getting out into nature! Have a fantastic summer! ☀️👍🏻
Thank you!!! Much needed video for learning how to set up camp for my GMC Terrain SUV 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I've been researching a setup for the hatch on my minivan and it looks like this will work. I like how it can be closed up and you can drive off for the day. Thanks for the review!
You’re welcome 😊👍🏻
Yeah I didn't realize you could do that either, super cool. Might work perfectly on my Jeep 😊
This is why we are aiming for this one. My kids can be in the suv while the parental units sleep in the tent. And then we can drive off to explore whatever national park we are visiting.
Lol. I do the exact same thing. Never bring a tool for the stakes, just grab a rock or log. 🤣😂🤣
Informative video, thank you.
I’ve been wanting one of these, but they are soooo expensive! This helped in my decision.
Tks for indepth video. It seems equal to or maybe more so as setting up a stand alone tent. Get the advantage
of being protected within the SUV and up off ground. Still undecided.
Good review! Been looking at these suv tents
I think that these type of tents are a great way to get the most out of your SUV when camping.
Thanks so much for posting. I’m very interested in purchasing one! Cheers.
Thanks for showing setup. Won’t work out well for a shorter person. Also have to keep cooler, food in SUV in bear country anyway. I’ll stick w/ a freestanding tent now, thanks for the info.
I bought this tent and I appreciate your review. I'm anxious to see how it fairs in the rain.
It should do well. We don’t get much rain in Az, so let me know if it keeps you dry. 😊👍🏻
What a great video. I’m shopping so this really helped. Great detail!
Glad it was a help to you. Good luck on your research. Happy Camping! 🏕️
Thank you! Very good vid.
Good honest review.😊
Nice instructional setup video. Thabks
Thanks Thomas! Appreciate the compliment! 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you Steve, we are on our way to REI.
Great video!!! Thanks
Great job, thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for commenting 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks for a Good Video 👍
It is 12:44 am i dont lnow how i got here but i really enjoyed your video, and suscribed
Greetings from Mexico
As New Year's Day 2023 is 2 days away, I found this little gem! That's a pretty dang easy set up for us SUV's that can _sleep_ 2, but that's about it. So much space for such little cost and time. Thanks so much... I never saw such a tent before, just "covers." Hope you are still out there having fun. I'll be in Arizona, via that SUV, this coming year... can't wait. Thanks!
I guarantee my bumper never looks that clean by the time I get to a campground. The video made me realize this and I’ll clean up the bumper and hatch opening with Simple Green and paper towels before I start the setup. My german shepherds will be going in and out -across the bumper-so I’ll add a rubber mat on my bumper that goes under my mattress-to keep my bumper from getting scratched from their claws. It will give them a bit of traction as well.
Good explanation. I have 2023 4Runner.
Glad it helped!
I own this exact same tent. My only regret is (a) Rightline dropped the screenroom from it and (b) it doesn't come with a door for adding an A/C unit
Excellent video. I have been looking for an SUV tent for my 2021 Tesla Model Y. Although there seems to be some tents that are made for the Tesla, they are not made that well. This tent looks really good, and I see it can be purchased on REI and I’m a member. I like a lot of the features and I think it would look really well with the Model Y. Thank you.
Great video! We have had ours for a year that we use at the back of our truck and canopy. I would add that it would be better if those netting pole sleeves were a solid nylon so the pole slid better through as they are always hanging up. Also the door is generally on the wrong side of a camp ground set up. In regards to the tent pegs I picked up 10 - 10” spiral nails….. they work amazing
Thanks for the feedback 😊👍🏻
You are a FANTASTIC reviewer! I can't wait to see what else you've done. This video was information rich, thank you!
Just got one from costco. Going to be using it this weekend. Looks good.
Awesome! Have fun! 👍🏻
Very nice vid. Thank you.
Thanks, I tried to cover everything that I thought would be important to give everyone a detailed look at it. Heading out to the beach this week to run it through some different environments. 😊👍🏻
A tarp under the tent helps to cover pokey rocks
Thank you for posting this. Just started looking at tents. Watching you set this up alone gave me confidence that I could handle setting this up alone. I'm sold on purchasing this tent and appreciate the tips you gave.
You’re welcome 😊👍🏻
I see it’s been over year since you posted this. I wonder if you have any words of wisdom after using it for a longer period now. I just found your channel but I’m a single solo woman and I’m at the point I’m wanting to get a tent to connect to give me more space! Will definitely be watching your channel now and following!
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Do I dare buy a Black dog tent. Dident know until watching this vid. Wow 😮
Very interesting. How is it with bugs ? I like that I can close the hatch at night. Thanks for this review
I love mine!!!
Doesn't having your hatch up run the battery dead?
Thanks for posting. This was very complete. Several thoughts. First I don't have crossbars so I guess it wouldn't work for me. Secondly it seems like it has poor rain fly coverage, especially when the svu isn't attached to it. I'm glad you're pleased but think I'll pass. Happy camping!
Yup, no problem. Glad it helped you decide. 😊👍🏻
Nice you could the hatch for safey.
Great video!
Why, Thank You!
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
I like it, but I think the fly sheet is too small. We have a similar set up but had a bigger fly sheet made, it works well even in the wettest weather.😊😊
Thanks for a very thorough review. If possible, can you attach a link to the type of railroad nails as pictured?
Thanks for the feedback. I updated the video description with the link for the tent stakes. Have a great weekend!
Yes. Yes. I like. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Cool video Steve. I've been wondering about these. Wonder how they would work during the colder Temps, leaving the hatch open and running a buddy heater as needed 🤔.
Not sure, maybe something I could try out! Unfortunately, hot temperatures coming to Az now! 😂😊👍🏻
@@ArizonaSteve We got surprised on Mount Lemon once while camping and it snowed lol. We had on every piece of clothing we had brought with us but had no heater. Luckily the tent was tamped down good or it would have blown away. Needless to say we bought a heater after that just in case :-) I really miss camping up at General Hitchcock. Was my favorite camping space of all time.
Good video. I like it and will save it. I think I may buy this one. Have you used it often? How are the tent poles? worked? Have you used it in the rain.?
Thank you
This was very helpful, combined with the sun in pictures I figured it out. The rain fly fastening is the only part you could edit and make clearer. It looks like you just fastened the corners to whatever was handy. I m very thankful for this, and I did subscribe.
Thanks, I'm a newbe at this and you've given me some confidence!
Watching this and I figured it would be better to use my easyup and attach sidewall panels.
Thankyou
Thank you for this review … it was very helpful! Tyvek would be perfect on the ground floor and then maybe a mat on the inside …I remove my shoes before walking inside anyway just to keep things clean…
I wonder if a set of Magnets would help.
What comfy mattress do u recommend please. Great review
Excellent demo. I too wonder how to attach to vehicle without roof racks. I see in other pics there is a way but cannot see clearly how this is. I see there are gaps lower down not a problem for rain but might be for heating.
They recommend to attach to windshield wipers. I am not sure I agree.
You could run a strap from the driver’s side to passenger side and then use it like a crosbar from a roof rack? 🤷♂️👍🏻
Hi, I bought mine last fall, then fires in the local mountains prevented me from going camping. I did set it up once in my driveway to see how it would work. Yes, its really a 2 person job. Yes the stakes are not worth the added shipping weight. Yes I like the added room to stand, cook, eat or guest sleeping room. Would you leave your tent and drive away?
Maybe? Depending on the area and the neighbors camping near me. If they seem cool, I would ask them to watch it if they are going to be hanging out. I know I would totally do that for someone else. 😊👍🏻
Yes, I agree……would I leave my tent and drive away for the day? That really helped me decide. I’m a solo traveler and I’m not sure I would. Because there are soooo many untrustworthy campers out there today. I carry a lot of expensive equipment. I feel like people are always watching. I can only find this thing for 400$. A bit pricey to drive away from. But I can think of some campgrounds that are quite trustworthy.
We enjoyed your video but.Are the large holes near your taillights where the tent doesn't touch the vehicle a problem? Here on the east coast that would be an open door to a mosquito buffet. Thanks
I see a lot of gaps for mosquitoes, flies and critters to get inside. Did you find some way to screen or close up those gaps?
Get a small hatchet to use the hammer side for the stakes instead of a rock.
Thanks for the suggestion! 😊👍🏻
looks cool, I was thinking about this for my Tesla Model S. I don't have roof racks, so where do you think I could attach those top straps?
They say the windshield wipers, but I don’t know if I feel comfortable with that idea.
I think a strap through the front side windows with windows up, then connect to that. 😊👍🏻
Thanks for your video! Been looking at these tents for a year and have been on the fence. Going to purchase so I can take my kids camping. But one thought. What would you use for heat? It can get cold at night in the mountains where we’re at.
I have never used heaters in a tent. They worry me. What I do is check overnight temperatures before camping, buy a 20 degree sleeping bag, and get off the ground with a cot or a sleeping pad that insulates from the ground. Hope that helps. 😊👍🏻
@@ArizonaSteve same here. I’ve been camping in tents for a good portion of my life but my kids have never gone tent camping. And the chilly overnight temps has me concerned. I will not using a heater.
Thanks for this! Exactly what I want. You still recommend this brand over others?
I have never compared it to any other tent. The way I look at it, if you spend 2 nights in it, it pays for itself. Same cost as a hotel and it is basically free to stay in it going forward. 😊👍🏻
Хорошо продуманная палатка. Надо подумать о приобретении такой же. Не знаю, доставляют ли в Россию?
They should of put a pvc window panel while your laying in car do you can see out and the fly cover you clearly explained should be uv protect
It looks like there are some pretty big gaps where the tent fits up to the truck which would allow bugs in. Are there bungees or magnets or any way built in to address that?
Regardless of what it says, I'd still recommend always using a ground sheet of some type to help preserve your floor.
I agree. Has anyone had any experience with this?
I have a very similar tent that I used with my Toyota RAV4. I tried to sleep in the tent instead of the car because I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the power with the hatch open. I ended up sleeping in the car because I was afraid a critter could get into the tent through the gaps. I’ve got to figure it out before I use it again. I do appreciate all the extra room and being able to stand up.
Looking at getting one of these. How is it with rain and high winds? Thank you.
I guess the only down side would be finding a site that’s perfectly flat. Other than that this looks incredible
You have the d ring tie down point, I don’t know why you didn’t use that.
Thanks for posting this. We are going to pick one up for our 4th gen 4runner. As an aside, what mattress are you using in your 4runner?
ua-cam.com/video/UR1SFCX27s8/v-deo.html 👍🏻😊
Thank you. This is a great video. The "front door" is it just mesh bug screen? Or does it also have a solid panel? Are you able to be totally naked in there with total privacy? Thanks again!!
It has a total solid panel as well. Closes up like a normal tent. 😊👍🏻
You could rig a pipe to run your exhaust away from your car so you can run your cars ac or heater.
How are the bugs? Do a lot get in where there are gaps between your vehicle and the tent??
Best Rightline Gear SUV Tent video, I’m sold.
Nice Video Steve! Love the zipper on that tent to separate the tent from the back of the vehicle. Cool feature! Question ... I'm just curious. Are you still mining XYO?
No. They still haven’t figured anything out that works other than a simple coin app. They are riding the wave of the uninformed unfortunately.
Take any profits before the public figures it out. 👍🏻
@@ArizonaSteve So you've sold all your XYO Coin that you mined? When did you stop and how much XYO Coin did you mine?
@@surplusprofits3770 sold all and did fine 😉
It looks like there are gaps near the bottom of the vehicle where mosquitos could get in. Have you camped in bug country? Also, have you been out in the rain? Thanks for the review.
@Aquatic Ape after paying +\- $300? No thanks.
Hi,great video. I’ve been looking at this SUV tent so I watched your video. I have a Honda pilot and it does not have cross bars on the roof. Is there another option for attaching to the vehicle? Thanks, Cat
They say you can connect to the windshield wipers, but I’m not a fan of that.
I would suggest running the straps through the front doors or windows then shutting them. Just an idea. Good luck! 😊👍🏻
I have the same tent and tried it first time last weekend. It was great but I know for sure that If it rains, the water that falls on the roof of the car will end up inside the tent (I have a Mazda CX-5 which as many mid size suvs have a sloped roof). Did you test it under the rain?
No, I did not. Something to think about. Thanks for the tip.
After watching you I fefinitely need an easy blow up rig ......Is there such a product?....thanks for the clarity x
There are actually blow up hatch tents, and blow up rooftop tents too :)
How would you attach it with the bars on top ?
Great video! We bought this tent and just need to know about the hatch back power that remains to run when ours is open? Our battery was dead after we tested a set up, turned off the interior lights, etc.
I saw a video where someone "tricked" the hatchback into thinking it was closed by inserting a carabiner into the trunk lock on the hatch (this was also noted by rawrlionification in this feed)
@@margiehughes73 hi, can you place the link here pls for that video?
Does it have fly nets for the door and the hatch area ?
Can rain off the car roof run off between the car trunk and the floor of the tent so the tent doesn't flood in rain?
After turning off dome lights and hatch lights, with the light on dash it shouldn't wear out battery if hatch open 24 hours? I do plan to get a portable jumper for the battery just incase but, been worried about being stick with a dead battery doing this.
No, the small dash light does not draw much energy. As long as you turn off the lights and remove keys it should be good for 5-7 days like that. To build your confidence, leave it that way in your garage and restart in the morning. A bad battery could alter this outcome as well, but you should be fine. 😊👍🏻
I wouldn't keep jumping your battery just to have your hatch open because jumping your battery multiple times can actually drain your battery and kill a cell, I would just take a couple of seconds to just undo your positive terminal on the battery for the night until you're ready to leave again. Problem solved
Oh my God I love this, but what if you don’t have a crossbar on top of your SUV?
They suggest you latch it onto the windshield wipers. Not sure I like that, but just find something solid to latch the straps to... 😊👍🏻
@@ArizonaSteve I'm going to look into having crossbars put on.
@@ArizonaSteve I didn’t even notice, but my new SUV has the bars. 🤦♀️ 😂
@@vickijacksonmcgaugh6629 just use your passenger doors.
