Scott, I have the Overland 2 XL. For the window poles, put them in the slot at an angle. The hooked end should face away from you at nearly a 45-degree angle with the tent itself. Put the pole in first, then bend it to put the hook through the eyelet of the awning. Make sure you put them in with some force; really try to snug them in the slot. Hope this helps!
I had the same issue from the factory. The holders for the window support poles need to be loosened and moved outward along the channel on the side of the frame. I can’t quite remember how far, but i believe at least to the distance apart as the grommets in the window awnings.
I picked up a local from china tent called dog house, it had a few design things I felt it lacked, and it was a little too tight width wise for the G/F and me. so I went to alibaba and got a custom made triangle aluminum tent, blacked out with stainless struts and extra wide and thinker mattress, so far we love it total surround awning to cover all windows, and door. strangely I saw the exact tent i Had before for a1/3 the price on Alibaba. Then I realized all the tents come from China and they just slap company names on them, so far so good with my new one, love the t8 tracks around the perimeter, the roof racks are nice too mounted a solar panel to charge my ecoflow for the fridge too.
Thank you . I'm glad you liked it . I had a company install it called Main line overland. I personally didn't want to drill into the rooftop . No, it does not affect the warranty . The rack does come with great instructions. It was just something I was willing to pay a pro to do .
There is not going to be any condensation in your tent when using a diesel heater. That's because diesel heaters put off dry heat. Unlike propane. Which will cause a problem with condensation. Great video and review!
Cool video, thanks for reviewing this tent. I noticed you said two or three inches in your video but the interior dimensions of the standard tent is actually 7 in more narrow than a queen size mattress at 53 vs 60 in. My wife and I are used to a king size bed and I'm really struggling trying to decide between the XL ABS version of the Condor 2 versus the smaller Condor 2 overland. I like the harder case of the overland and the ability to hang things off the side but I don't know how much stuff I really actually need to hang off there versus keep in a bin in my vehicle. How did you decide to go with the smaller bed and harder case versus the larger bed and ABS case?
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. I actually measured a queen size bed in my house, and that's how I came up with the measurements, verses the dimensions off the website. if memory serves me only 2 to 3 inches shy length and width of the posted Roofnest posted dimensions. If you love being in a king bed, then you should look at the same exact tent as mine but the xL . But honestly, if it's just you and the wife with not a large dog or child ,in my opinion, my size is sufficient. Hope that helps. Check out their website. Dimensions are on the description. It's a great tent for sure.
Thanks, it is right at the exact dynamic weight limit of the rooftop rack of the rivian SUV that I plan to put it on. So I am basically stuck trying to choose between the hard shell standard size like you got or the ABS version in the XL. I know once it is dark and we are in the bed I think we will really like that extra room, but maybe it isn't necessary. A queen bed is absolutely 60 in wide, we just laid on ours with a measuring tape at 53 and it is a good bit narrower. I do like the hard shell versus the ABS though, tough pros and cons..
I bought the Overland 2 XL and was in the same point as you before the purchase. Here is what I have to say about the Overland, it's heavy. Even lifting the cover takes some force. You better install a hoist system or have plenty of friends to help you get it installed. The standard version weighs 70 lbls less, while still not 'light', it's 30ish% lighter than the overland. I also have a whistle noise coming from the tent driving 55+mph. I don't know for sure the standard would have this issue since it's not such a box with mounting groves on the side. With that said, I think the top cover on the overland should hopefully be able to take more of a beating than the standard version. And it being only $100 more than the standard, is why i choose the overland over the standard. The whistling is something I have to find a solution for though, because it is kinda annoying, even with music on.
Mine did too. Roofnest released a cover for the tent, and that fixed it. I leave it on when I am driving around town, then take it off when I am heading out to camp. That way I don’t have to hear the noise ALL the time.
Been doing all my research. Glad I found this video. Gave it a sub and a like. Cheers!
Awesome, thank you . Happy it helped ☺️ cheers
Absolute class & quality. Appreciate the video !!
Glad you enjoyed it!. Fyi. I solved the awning issue. Just need to slide the brackets out further

This Absolutely helps 💯 percent. Thank you Soooo much 👍
Thank you! I had the same issue and for the life of me couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong. I almost reached out to Roofnest support
Hey bud! Good video. I did one on this too. Mine is the same tent too. Love it!
Yes I saw yours. Loved it. Actually, I'm doing some sw
I saw yours. Great video. I'm doing some snow camping this weekend in it . Can't wait

Fantastic. Thank you so much . Huge help
I really like how you explain all that things on details 😍😍
Thanks so much 👍

@sherburnoutdoors That's awesome. Enjoy it !

Sounds awesome. Would love to see a picture of it . Enjoy it !
Scott-cool walk through! Thanks! I am curious about the rhino rack-did you install it? Looks like it is bolted on-how does that affect warranty?
Thank you . I'm glad you liked it . I had a company install it called Main line overland. I personally didn't want to drill into the rooftop . No, it does not affect the warranty . The rack does come with great instructions. It was just something I was willing to pay a pro to do .
LOVE our Condor 2 new design as well! Curious how tall you are? I'm 6.2 and there's plenty of room for me, my wife and dog.
I am 5 ft 8 . My recommendation would probably be the xl to be safe

we are torn between the overland 2 xl and the standard 2 xl. Would you have stuck with the overland vs the 2 still, if you reordered today?
Based on both options absolutely yes . Absolutely love my choice . Was in 55 mph wind gusts and sideways rain. Held up perfectly

Do you have a Whistle noise from the tent when driving 55+mph ?
Yes, I do . I believe it's unavoidable, unfortunately. Just turn up the 🎶 lol.
