Roof top tents yay or nay?

I definitely second getting a Habitat!

I said yes to the pole, but only cause I was thinking the AT Habitat fits that category. My wife and I love it.

And it's very easy to open and close.

 

that attached double seater folding chair is way too cute for this forum

 

And there’s nothing “fast” about it. Sleep in the bed with a sleeping bag.

 

That’s pretty awesome ! It’s huge ! Do you access it from the floor through the bed or how does it work ? Post a pic f it packed up as well!

 

But what about the 6 burner stove and vegetable sink??

 

RTT Pros Verses Cons according to science:

RTT Cons:

- expensive

- kills MPGs

- can’t go on a drive to check something out once you set up camp

- Must have enough room to set up

- you gotta camp in the parking lot, when there’s a cool tenting spot down by the lake

- makes vehicle centre of gravity unsafe

- have to open it every two weeks to air out and prevent black mould

- truck is heavier, more likely to get stuck, and less engine power

- goes moldy

- you know it’s ending up in the landfill someday. What a fuckin disgrace.

- when the bear pulls you out to eat your ass, you get knocked unconscious when you hit the ground / can’t fight for your life.

- when the hillbillies invade, you can’t just leave.

- doesn’t fit in a parkade

- ruins your bed storage if you low-Mount to help MPGs and center of gravity.

- Teddy Roosevelt would think you are a wanker.

RTT Pros:

- looks good on Instagram.

- comes with a patch or sticker.

 

You definitely don't wanna see what was sitting in that chair then...

 

We get it. They're not for you.

 

picking mine up the first week of may

 

well sign me up ill do just about anything for a sweet sticker

 

My grandfather and I used to camp out of a 1st gen Toyota pickup, like tons of other people. I did the same in my 01 tacoma. And I do it the same in my 17. Ive noticed a change in thinking. Just like

Tiny roadsters went from this
To this


Hip hop went from this

To this


And off road oriented camping went from this

To this

 

too much stuff in the bed, gonna have to cowboy camp on the ground beside the truck

 

What, may I ask, is in the bed?

 

Bunch of pix on their website

Access through tailgate.




Here's a shot with the top closed, and with the ARB awning mounted.

 

The insidious seed of doubt has been planted. Your RTT will be in the landfill within two years, guaranteed.

 

but for real though, that 270 awning with no feet is pretty cool.

 

telescopes? weren't you paying attention?

 

But I'll still have my sticker. And the memories.
