    I know theres quite a few of these threads all over the place, but I haven't seen any with fairly recent comparisons, so hopefully we can keep the flaming to a min.

    Does anyone know which one of those two Rooftop tents would breathe better for hot weather? Also, is one generally better than the other? For any of you who've tried both, which one did you like better?


    Im trying to decide on which one to go with, and looking for the one with the best hot weather breathability and space, so any info would be greatly appreciated!

    You may want to wait until 2017 when Tepui will have a new roof top tent platform that allows you to change out the upper shell to either mesh for summer or if you choose to, in the Winter install the old style polycotton canvas. Adam a.k.a. @Box Rocket will definitely inform us when the new RTT will be available.

    That screened in Tepui would breathe the best, IMHO !!!
