Raptor Series 100000-126800 Offgrid Voyager Truck SUV Camping Rooftop Tent with Ladder, Black

There are pros and cons with this, but overall an excellent tent for the price.The rails were just a couple inches too short to clamp to all 3 of my rhino rack crossbars, so I made a one-sided bracket to connect the back one, and it worked well.I camped in places with crazy high winds blowing at the flat side, enough to move the whole Jeep. I added a couple ratchet straps at low tension in addition to the included ones, because I was worried about damage if the existing straps loosened too much. The tent itself held up very well.There are a couple minor inconveniences, such as the ladder sometimes doesn't want to collapse fully and I have to fudge with it. And although this things only takes 30 seconds to fully set up, it's really a huge pain to get that rubber cover back on it and clamped in place. The people that use regular tents can get theirs put away faster than me. I'm working on building my own hard cover for it (with solar panels!) because I don't think there's a way to avoid that hassle with a soft cover.The cool thing with this is that I don't have to worry about bugs and clearing rocks, like I do when ground camping. And bringing a tent cot takes up a lot of space I could use for other gear.When I'm not using this, I can quickly disconnect the ends of my rhino rack crossbars and hoist it up with ratchet straps connected to the roof of my parking structure. If I had to remove the fasteners and lift this thing on and off by hand I wouldn't bother, too much work.This does impact gas mileage, increases wind drag, and makes the vehicle noticeably top heavy, so expect that if you're planning to buy this.I guess another con with this or any rooftop, is that I'm obviously not going into parking garages, and I have to stress about every low sharp branch when going offroad.Overall though I think for the price you can't really find a rooftop tent that's easier to set up and functional to hang out and sleep in.

Got to use our tent this past weekend and had a great experience. It's mounted on my stock crossbars on my 4th gen 4Runner. The tent does a wonderful job of retaining heat at night, staying cool during the day, and keeping out wind. I'm also very happy with the general build quality of the unit and fabric. Set up is also super easy. Pull off the cover, install the ladder, then hop on real quick to grab the two securing hooks and pull it up. I secured them to my wheels.I like the fact that it just pops up instead of flipping over. It leads to a stealthier design that is better on the highway in relation to wind noise or MPG loss. I don't really hear it much unless there's heavy wind gusts (I plan to add a fairing to help with this), but honestly, I think I only lost 0.5 MPG on this trip with the tent on.Highly recommend, happy to answer any questions. I plan to post updates to this review as I use it more.

Edit 8/27/21: When I opened the tent to use it in June of 2021, I discovered that all the nylon straps that hold up the door and screen are totally trashed. 100% not usable. Now I have to use some spring clamps to keep the door and screen up.The straps closer to the center of the rain fly are the same material and they’re also destroyed, which means the rain fly flaps more in the wind than it would have otherwise.Also, the top rung of the ladder has been stuck open since the first time I used it. It’s okay for now, but if another rung sticks open, it will be a problem.It’s really too bad, because the rest of the tent has been fine.Old review:Great for 1 large adult, 2 medium-sized adults, or a small handful of kids.The quality is really good, especially considering the price point.Others have complained about the straps breaking, and I can see that happening. The straps feel a bit cheap, so I’ll probably replace them at home before they have a chance to break out in the sticks.The mattress pad is very firm. If you’re used to a softer pad, just consider adding another pad on top. From what I can tell, the pad in this tent can’t be removed.The cover is very thick, and it appears to be very durable.Setup and takedown are straightforward. I can have it up and ready in 5-10 minutes. Takedown takes just a couple minutes longer.The ladder is good. If you have to put the ladder away when it’s wet, just make sure to open it again to let it dry out.Be aware that there will likely be metal shavings in the nooks and crannies of the outside of the tent and the frame. The manufacturer could do a better job at reducing or eliminating the shavings.The tent was packaged well, inside a large box, which was inside an even bigger box. The corners were well protected with foam.The manufacturer included a wrench for the nuts, as well as some extra plastic end caps for the rails, since you’ll need to pop out a couple of them in order to install the hardware in the T-slots.The shipping was a headache. UPS Freight set a delivery date and time with me, but then missed the delivery, because the tent wasn’t in the state yet. No big deal.Two more delivery appointments, and it was delivered. The outer box was somewhat damaged. The inner box was perfect, and the tent was undamaged.I’ll provide updates after I’ve had a chance to take it out a few time.-EDIT- 4/26/21We took it out for the first time over the weekend. Setup took 5 minutes.The plan was for my 9 year old and 7 year old to sleep in the tent, and for me to sleep in the trailer under the tent. The weather was bad, so I squeezed in the tent with my kids.It was windy off and on, with huge wind bursts making everything on the tent flap. Pair that with the very uncomfortable mattress (my fault for not bringing the thicker pad) and I was up all night.We stayed warm all night, and there was no condensation in the morning, so that was a plus.Takedown was fine, until the top rung of the ladder wouldn’t collapse. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work before finally giving up on it. Hopefully I can get it figured out.Also, in the weeks prior to this camp out, the rooftop tent was rained on while it sat in my driveway. Although water pooled on the cover, no water seeped through onto the tent.
