Thanks for the video love, I just bought one! FYI they do sell zipper cleaner & lubricant on Amazon! Happy camping 🏕 ♡
I have seen these tents mostly on Jeeps. I am really glade to see that you have a pick up. I am seriously considering this as an alternative to camping on the ground. So i can store most of my camping gear in the bed. It looks great. Thx for sharing!
Having your tent on the drivers side is very handy for when you camp in tight spaces. You can park close to a wall/fence or hedge on a camping spot. And still get out of the car easy. Many rooftop tents (majority?) open to the left side of the cars. But these are mainly designed in RHD countries like Australia, South Africa, UK and many Asian countries like Japan, India and Thailand. And I see ours is made in USA. Good information on usage and details like mold dew etc.
Hello! Great setup, I was having issues with the feet discomfort on the ladder and I found that adding pieces of pool noodles to the steps help a lot!! Give it a try 😃
Reminds me of my smittybuilt tent. I have the same truck as you, and i also never use the window on the cab side for the same reason as you. But i wanted my tent to ride level with the top of the cab for less wind drag.
Your Taco looks bad ass! 👍🏻
Love it! Also love your videos. Thank you and keep them up. Safe travels out there. Squirrel 😃
GREAT VIDEO!! Tacoma and RTT, love mine!! I have a lower rack as well, and use 1 pole on the cab side and use the window for nighttime ventilation. I'm over 200lbs and love the mattress!! Thanks Jillian!! (Yup, had mine shift as well)
GREAT REVIEW AND EXPLANATION!!! thanks for taking the time and great call on the "cleaning the zippers", i had that problem out on the trail, while packing up ! kudos to power tank steve, i had pleanty of compressed "air" C02.. cheers jillian!
Hey for neat time, they sell zipper lubricant 👍🏼
Love your setup😊, another option here in Oz, maybe in between RTT & ground tents, are swags/bedrolls & 4wd awnings👌😄
Great demo and advice, loved it. Very thorough.
Jillian. Also check your Velcro and material around your hing. If it does not seal or it is torn, great place for the bugs to get into the tent.
Nice video Jillian I’m looking for a rooftop tent now so I’m doing my research. Your video was very helpful in my search thank you
I'm looking for a rtt for a future travel trailer. This version is at the top of my list
Good thinking on the security point, very nice
Now, that's the cameraman leading the actress.
Very informative. Thanks!
great vid! See if you can use a bungee cord or anything to hold open that window flap on the cab side. that works for me! Wish mine had a cargo net underneath like yours!
I also open my tent driver side. But I mainly decided that because of taco lean. It helps keep the head higher than the feet.
Thread lock those nuts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would love to learn more about the current suspension set up on your truck! I saw your set up on the Tacoma Beast Channel and like the idea of variable suspension on my truck. Thanks for sharing!
I love my RTT. Went on a 10k road trip last year and camped all over the place!
Dang!! That sounds like an awesome road trip!!
@@JillianRebekahMountainYot it really was! I saw so much of the country, met so many amazing people, had amazing local food and drinks! I am definitely ready to do it again!
Merci pour cette présentation
ça a l air super pratique et solide.
merci
Great info! Thank you!
Very nice set up 👍
Great video 👍👏
Great review. Also I see you have those Dometic fridge straps holding you fridge I cant find them anywhere! Lol
Hmmm.... I think they only come as an accessory to the Fridge slide.
I have been following you for just a short while, while I have enjoyed all of you posts, I think this one has been the most informative. You speak very well, and you have a great camera presence. Please keep you the great work.
I just saw you at South Coast Plaza and you already made a video hahaha
Great truck
Don't know what is most Interesting.
You or the Tent.
Enjoy it wile you are young.
I hurt so bad in my BED it hurts me thinking about trying to sleep in one 😬
Since many who view this video are not familiar at all with roof top tents, why not do a video of actually unpacking or repacking one on a vehicle? They look to be nice, but it would be even nicer to see how they are raised for use or taken down and what that profile looks like on a pickup when stored away. Nice video and very informative.
That's for someone else to tackle.;) I don't remove mine.
Have you tried/is it possible to cut up a pool noodle? If you have to take off each time you fold your tent you could us a Velcro strap to hold the noodle on the step.
I like your rig, I have the same truck with TRD cold air intake, exhaust and Ridgelander tonneau cover with Rino Rack cross bars, but need rocksiders if you have any suggestions?
You should check out my prior video!
I have sliders from Demello Offroad
New subscriber. Your channel is very informative. I'm recently interested in overlanding. How may miles do you have the truck? At what point do you think you would sell it? I assume you would strip it and I guess make the upgrades fit the next truck?
I have just under 100k. I do not plan on selling my truck...ever :)
Is there a window at the top like a sun roof? do you have to take the rain fly off to see the sky or is it inbuilt?
And Can you attach the step ladder on the other side if you choose to?
Nice setup, similar to my setup on my Toyota Hilux here in Australia. I wear my thongs (flip flops) up the ladder and then kick them off to the ground or use the boot holder bags that hang off the sail tracks as you have. I don’t think there are any roof top tent ladders of any brand that don’t hurt feet!
thanks any type of chapstick works an lubes an will keep ice an freezing off zippers
2 girls 1 tent ;)
boner time
I like the bed mount for the tent who makes it. I agree with you on height of the tent for wind drag as well as branches hitting the tent. Can you post or send me the info. Thanks
Brute Force Fab
@@JillianRebekahMountainYot Thanks it is what I have been looking for.
Well. The roof top tent looks good. But to me an old camper.
My tent is staked to the ground in all four seasons. A roof top tent is car camping. Plus to me that's not real camping
But I guess it's what you like.
'
nice tent top...
how come this truck dont have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights
huh?
Are you still liking this tent. I'm in discussions with this company about the Expedition Grade Huasna. However, before I pull the trigger on it I'm trying to make sure I'm picking the right tent from a durability standpoint.
I’m pretty sure Jason can still climb a ladder 😉
As in Voorhees?
Yes the one with a hockey mask that loves to golf
Low sound
What size is your Roam boxes?
believe those are the 105 and 82
Hi Jillian, Can you wear a mic so we can hear you speak or comments on your videos. The videos lack volume when you are talking. Thanks
yea,,,sorry about that.
I don't plan on doing many of these.
That tent cost more than the cap I bought for my six foot bed Tacoma where I sleep on real mattress with an electric blanket.
haha...that might be true. But I don't want a "cap" on my truck ;). Create the truck that you want and you won't feel self conscious when you come across something different :)
Not doable with most of these midsize trucks with only a 5 foot bed though.
@@JillianRebekahMountainYot I camp in the Rockies in Colorado and Wyoming where my cap protects me better from the elements, such as severe storms, and from the wildlife that can't tear up my cap with their claws. A truck cap gives the truck more utility and practicality and makes me feel more safe period. I am warmer on those cold nights and I have soundproofed it somewhat with denser insulation. For over 2K, you can get a decent used or new cap and does come off with a bit of work .
What happened to her ? She had great content !
Real nice rig and extra pretty you. Very good video Going to save this video now. Thanks pretty lady
I’m guessing the thinking of having it high up is to keep bears and or animals from getting at u guys while u sleep?serious question....
Someone told me that rooftop tents cause seasickness / motion sickness - because they sway with even the slightest breeze. : (
SelectCircle Haha... no, NOT true. And I’m someone who gets sick by JUST LOOKING at open water.
Dang. - And the guy who told me this is one of those Mr. Macho dudes!
sorry for my english this frige it s very big
What? What?
Id love this at a tent set up but my wife is over 50 and has to use the bathroom like 4x a night... Id never hear the end of it.
Ah...I should have mentioned that. There is no easy way around that one...RTT aren't for all campers thats for sure.
JillianRebekah MountainYot I have seen some that have a zip around base that you could put a 5 gallon portable toilet in. We used one from Farm and Fleet. It was a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat and we used kitty litter. Worked in a pinch in our pop up for $20.
No sorry baby there's no upgrades they're all the same 10 from different manufacturers in China they just put a different name on it and add $1,000 to the price tag
Tent
Your talking is super quiet.
Marry me?!
Roof top tents are not good for going to pound town. You’re hot and know exactly what I’m talking about.
Did anyone else notice the American flag on this Japanese rice burner truck the same country that has killed tens of thousands of pows.
This was hard af to watch, cringe worthy information and presentation..Good thing you were female because if you weren't every comment on here would be bashing the presenter for not being prepared with useful information to provide their audience. What's up with all the creepy guy comments on here..#atleastyouknowyourdemographicandwillneverbetakenseriously
