Great video. Good job setting it up by yourself. Your wife is a great narrator and has a great voice.
Thank you so much for demonstrating how one person can put up this tent. i am considering getting into car camping and i love this idea!
Thank you so much for this vid. I tried to set up my 84000 for the first time in my backyard today, by myself, and partly because my yard is so tiny I couldn't really set up everything.. Also, my SUV was not present for the party... My biggest takeaway from this is that I need to start with the tent/hatch interface connected before trying to raise the tent. The other thing I learned here is that apparently the screen room can be unzipped from the main structure -- I didn't know that. Thanks again!
My biggest challenge today was trying to get the taken-down tent to fit back in the bag. I finally gave up but will try again tomorrow...
This is the easiest 1 person set up i have seen so far. I think you nailed it by attaching the tents to your SUV first. Thank you for demonstrating this.
Was looking for reviews of this tent and found y'all. Just came here to say you're super freaking cute. Looks like you enjoy life to the fullest. Cheers from New Orleans!
Thanks a lot. Because of this video I now know how to set up my tent all by myself. I almost wanted to get rid of it, because I couldn’t.
thank you Aaron and Melody
Thank you Aaron and Melody for a demonstration so well described and detailed. I just purchased my tent and eager to use it next week..
Love the narration.
Awesome. Just picked up myself a 'used just once' Napier tent same as yours. I was tempted to get the screened room also but was concerned that perhaps it may sometimes be in an awkward position for some campsites. I thank you for setting it up solo because that is what I like to do. I wish you would have put the awning up solo too just for demonstration. I will be putting mine on right away and am hoping the windows are big in it like the tents are. Thanks for the video.
Love the generator running huh?
The best video on this tent set up I’ve seen. I just bought the newer Napier for my Honda Fit. It’s a little big for that car but was advertised to fit it. I’m 5’1” tall and it was impossible for me to get the collapsible poles up to form the dome and I camp alone. It would be great if someone would do a video with the newer Napier connecting it to a Honda Fit and getting the collapsible poles in the sleeves and tips to get it to stand up.
Rose did you end up being able to put up the tent by yourself. I;ve got a Honda Jazz (same as Fit).
Yes, I was, but not easy at all. I ended giving it away, too much work. I bought a Clam Screen shelter which I love.
Good demonstration. But I had to turn the sound off. ;-)
I have already bought my camping for my Ford Escape, I hope it fits well. I will make a video in due course
We have the same tent and also love it!! So easy to set up and even clip off the car to drive away for the day.
Thank you for that comment. I’ve been curious about getting this tent but was concerned if your able to leave the tent up but disconnect it from SUV to drive around and explore during the day, then reattach tent to SUV when you get back to campsite. Is it easily doable? Or too much of a hassle (disconnecting/reconnecting)?
Thanks guys!
I’ve seen other vids on the 8400 Tent, yours is the best one. I subscribed and put notifications on. Excellent vid!
I really want something like this. This one specifically is wayyyy too big to store in my van (and a bit out of my budget😂)
A well made video and quite informative. I doubt I'll ever get my wife to sleep in a tent, but I think I might get some use out of it.
11:26 Teamwork - that made me smile. It's half the fun just getting along working together.
I was hoping you would show the inside,and you did !! Awesome video.I just bought my Subaru and cannot wait to camp with this tent...!
I just bought a Crosstrek, and am going to buy the Napier Sportz Dome.
I ordered a tent similar to this one. Thanks for sharing this. So i can learn how to put it together! Thanks!
I received the same tent. For some reason, it seems that I’m missing parts to the tent. I’m going to put it together to see how long it takes to do a one person set. I also want to see if the tent is complete. I like your idea of the tarp on the floor before you set up, it is very prudent. Thank you for sharing this important tutorial. Great producer too! Awesome vid!
Thanks for showing one can set it up!
Can’t wait to get one
Fantastic! Thank You!
Best part of this video for me was that license plate!!!!!!!!
I would always use a tarp under screen room. It would keep bugs in ground from crawling on you.
you guys seem so nice... great video, thanks
does the battery die in most SUVS when the tailgate is open all night? thats my only reservation before buying, thanks for the video
There should be a switch to shut off interior lights & then you're good!
Awesome, you two!
I am looking at getting a tent like this, thanks for sharing
I have been looking for a 1 person tent set up that I could manage!! Thanks for the demo and this tent would probably work with my 5 wide Little Guy trailer :)
Hi! Great video, thinking of getting one! How does it handle with heavy rainy day? Any water leaks in certain areas? Also what’s the size of the tarp you used? Thank you!
We never had any leaks from heavy rain and storms, unless there was actual flooding and then we had seepage from below. We had this tent up over winter on the Oregon coast with plenty of wind and rain, and it survived to stand two years in the hot California sun. We definitely recommend it! Our tarp was 10' x 20'. Good luck in your future camping adventures!
Hey there, I echo what others have shared, I now have real-world confirmation that the Napier tent can be set up solo. Thanks so much. BTW, I see that you're writing a book. I have a lot of fiction/nonfiction writers on my podcast. I would love to have you both come on as my guest. Let me know if this interests you.
what if your car doesn't have a roof rack, how do you attach the back door cover..??
Question please: Can this tent be easily used without the part that attaches to the SUV? I understand the porch part can be completely eliminated but is that the same with the SUV part? I ask because I can buy this tent (used) for less than $100 but I'm in a car and not wanting the porch and SUV part. Easy to eliminate both of those pieces? Thank you very much! OneFineMan40.....aol.
Excellent product review and demonstration. Thanks for the video.
What do you guys do in the winter?
Mark the corners of tent fitting next to vehicle.
Comes with side porch?
Yes 👍
Love the license plate! I miss camping and plan on getting that exact set up when I can afford to trade in my old car for a real SUV. Love camping in northern AZ since I was a kid in the 80's :)
How often have you had to waterproof the Napier tent?
It depends if you go camping so often than once a year.
Do you think this would fit a 99 Tahoe?
R u still living on the road
ty sir
+João 00351 933552233 Lisboa, Portugal You're very welcome. Thanks for commenting and Have a Reasonable Day (:|)
What is the size of the tarp you use. Good tips
Thank you. The blue tarp we use is 10'x20', and we fold it in half to be 10'x10'.
How much
PITA
I am saying don’t tie my car up and just get a quick up tent. Then I can go places and leave my tent alone
Sadly unable to hear..
Is that a State of Jefferson sticker on your car?
👎
Way too much unnecessary talking.
I like her explaining since i can't hear him!
I liked it
