In this video we show the unboxing of our 23Zero Walkabout 62 rooftop tent (RTT), installing it on our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK, and our first night in the woods.
Backstory to this video:
It was a Friday morning in June. We were still on a strict Covid lockdown in California. We had set our alarm to wake up early that day to go and pick up the tent. Two minutes after my alarm went off I received a FaceTime call from my dad. He was at the hospital in New Jersey by my grandfathers bed with a priest. The priest started to give my grandfather last rights...
I was in shock! How could this be? I literally had just talked to my grandfather over FaceTime the day before. Yes he had COVID-19, but he was getting better. He was talking and even making jokes. Then just like that things took a turn for the worst and he was suddenly unconscious. I said goodbye over FaceTime and Mark and I went to pick up our tent.
On the drive home from picking up our tent I got the call. He had passed. The funeral would be in a few days. I was devastated and scared. Scared to fly on a plane, scared that my dad would have covid now too, but most of all I missed my family. I turned to Mark and was like okay we have to drive. We can camp the whole way and avoid all hotels. We can do this, we have 4 days, we can make it!
In the matter of hours our plans changed for our roof top tent. We had everything we needed to make it work on the BMW, but not the Jeep. The BMW was too small and couldn’t fit our portable toilet we bought to avoid rest-stops. So we had to make the Jeep work in the matter of hours. All we had were Thule bars for the jeep that were not properly rated for the weight of the tent. But we were desperate and all other racks for the Jeep were on backorder for weeks. So we decided to give them a go...
In our next video you will see the final set up we ended up using for our RTT.
We purchased our tent from a local distributor in SoCal, Rock-Tech Off Road, who was great!
