You entirely missed the point. It's about the force multiplier (leverage) of load on the REAR suspension, in particular, due to the significant increase in drag at the highest point of the vehicle. How much of an increase in wear of the rear suspension components is it? That's quite specific to each rig and likely no one has done sufficient testing so it's all theoretical, but sound reasoning and a minor point compared to his other points. For me, the #1 reason against having a rooftop tent is that it would put our van into the next height tier on the ferry and cost us more money every couple months when traveling back and forth between Germany and Finland. Bottom line, to each their own. :)

3 reasons you’re wrong: 1. Packing up- only an issue depending on the type of RTT you buy. Soft shell- horrible- wet, take forever to put away. Hardshell Wedge- away in 2 mins, set up in 1 min. And it’s often not the RTT that is the pain to put away, it’s all the other crap that people attach to their vehicles and has to be put away to move the vehicle- all of this stuff can be put up not attached to the rig so you can leave it at your site. 2. Wheeling with weight up high- it’s not a problem except for the most extreme rock crawling where you would really want a specialized vehicle. And you can counter-act it by how you pack- especially your water and fuel, and other ways- example I put a 35 lb tranny and oil pan skid on my JTR. 3. MPGs- I took a bigger MPG hit on my Gladiator going to a stubby front bumper and 35s than with the RTT. I can’t really see any MPG hit- at most maybe half a mpg. Shocked me. But my working hypothesis is that the flat front of the JTR makes the air go up above the RTT so that the RTT sits in the aerodynamic bubble created by the shape of the vehicle. I also own a Gazelle tent when I want more room or really am base camping for a few days. And it’s a great tent. But there is still more set up, it’s not as well insulated (actually not at all and is not great in colder temps), and you don’t wake up 6 ft above the ground, which is just such a nice thing. Honestly I’m surprised you didn’t mention the up and down of a RTT. That’s the biggest pain in the butt to me- if I forgot something once I get up there it’s like 🤬 to have to put on shoes and get down to get it. Or nighhtime bathroom runs etc. But to me, the ability to be prepacked and be able to get outta dodge on a Fri after work quickly and easily without a lot of packing and then roll into a place 10 at night and be in bed within 5 mins means I go on more trips- and there is nothing better than more trips. Obviously this just my perspective and works for me- and you’re nit “wrong” bc it is always whatever works for each of us, but def wanted to give other perspective. For me, Im never going back to the ground on the regular.

3 reasons you're wrong. 1- You have a rooftop tent that's why you're batting for the RTT community. 2- Your fuel economy is up and centre of gravity is UP as well but you won't admit that because you have a RTT. 3- Roof rack companies and RTT companies will tell you in fine print what your on road and off road load capacity is and most roof top tents exceed that. To me that's fraud. They don't care about your vehicle or your safety just sales. So you be happy and comfortable with your RTT, each to their own.

A RTT with a fast set up time is critical but there’s a lot of ones that are slower and more annoying, not to mention even the crappiest roof too tents run you more than $1000 and to get a really nice one you have to shell out a lot more.

@@stavio12 1. Nah. Did you not see where I said I have both and use both? 2. I’m not making stuff up. I just got back from a trip today- 15.5 mpgs on the roads there and back. You know what I got before the RTT- 16 mpgs. Did I say no hit? No, I said not much, maybe about .5 mpgs. I also explained that it could be due to the unique shape of Jeeps. And of course a lot has to do with the fact that not all RTTs are the same. A soft shell that is a 10 inch brick up there will be a lot different than a 5 in clamshell that I have. Btw, fuel economy is down, not up. Of course center of gravity is up- I didn’t say it is not. What I did say is that (a) it can be counter-balanced by how you build and pack and (b) it’s not as big a deal for what most overlanders do (and even more so as I wheel mine a fair bit on blues and easier blacks) and really becomes an issue if you are doing hard wheeling. I know this from experience of hitting trails on the same rig with and without, not just speculating. 3. Wow who has some anger issues? I have never seen a RTT company that has the load capacity for vehs. If they do tho, good for them for providing that info. And if you are mad that your veh doesn’t make the list of vehs that can’t handle the weight- buy another veh. Cause yeah, you shouldn’t put one on a veh that can’t handle it. My Gladiator has an Alucab canopy with a 750 lb static load capacity and 350 lb dynamic, so I am fine. The problem with making an argument “against RTTs” is that there are many varieties made out of different materials which drastically affects all of the things about them- set up take down time, wind resistance, weight, room etc. This guy’s complaints apply mostly to soft shell RTTs, hence my comment to point out why he’s wrong applying his gripes about them to all styles. As I said at the end, my comment was for information purposes, we all use what works for us. But since you didn’t lay attention to many of the words I wrote, I guess you missed that too.

It's always interesting to hear people's views, depending on what works for them. I have a RTT (a Bundutop), which gives us extra packing space for long trips inside the vehicle canopy, as our bedding stays in the tent. It's extremely comfortable and very quick to erect and close down, so moving around daily is not an issue. Our overlanding trips don't involve tackling extreme trails, so the bit of extra weight on the roof isn't an issue. I live in South Africa and can go anywhere on the continent with confidence.

Everything you said makes sense. With my wife we bought one in 2019 and the reasons I’d recommend it are: she barely enjoyed camping, now she really likes it (it makes her feel she’s not sleeping surrounded by spiders. I’ll never tell her the truth.). We road trip more than we off-road and We don’t often stay at the same spot more than two nights. Being able to get to a state park in the middle of the night and be ready to sleep five minutes after we stopped the motor works well for our trip style. But it’s a steep price. It absolutely is a non essential luxury item. And it has its shortcomings.

Overland trailer is the move! Easy enough for pretty much anyone to build themselves with some relatively simple power tools and off-the-shelf parts. Trailers give of use of a rooftop tent with the flexibility of one you can take in/out of your trunk. I put a little wagon handle and a chunky jokey wheel on to drag it into “tent only” areas with no trouble from park rangers. The whole setup weighs no more than 500 lbs fully loaded with water and Jerry cans. Can keep everything stored in it and hook up for weekend warrior activities.

This is a touchy subject. For some reason, people do not understand that certain equipment and setups work better for others versus themselves. I am not an RTT guy, as I prefer my camper shell, but that does not mean the RTT is any worse than my setup. I think its silly how much ego is now involved with overlanding, and I think it has to do with how expensive everything has gotten. Nobody wants to feel like their thousand dollar investment was unnecessary. One key perk of sleeping in an RTT or camper shell is the protection from bears and/or tweakers. Sometimes the RTT is used as a fashion piece, but so are shackles, maxtraxx, etc..

He said ‘be able to’. I get what he means, bc often you want to be able to do both with a setup, more camping and ride style or pack up everyday and move on over-landing style. I would agree that a ground tent or using the vehicle itself to sleep in is more versatile for this, although you’d probably want a fast pitch tent, not a complicated palace tent. The center of gravity part I would agree is mostly negligible unless you are putting like 500lbs up there, but you lose the storage up there if you are sleeping inside the vehicle or just need more room for stuff. Some people have a little pulley in their garages to take down the tent, but without something like this I could see how it could get annoying to mount it and dismount and would likely require at least an extra set of hands, so if you are solo, it would suck.

But you are laying or sitting on the corner of your roof tent having Alcohol free beer and chips and see the parade with your family having best few! Also in nature, some places they do have wet air! In only living in the tent on floor everything has wet feeling! But on the top of the roof tent there is less wet air and if it has a little wind breeze❗️you feel better! Also having best few!

exactly, that is a solution that all these negative nellies never mention. You really don't need anything more than a storage box on a heavy suspension. Built mine for roughly 1,500 bucks, 20 years ago, way before they became popular.

I love the idea of a rooftop tent I just can’t get past $1000-$3000 for a tent that should be at most $250 maybe $300. I really want one but there is just this huge disparity between what they cost and what they are. DIY time I guess!

Such a rip off too. Imagine spending 5 times the price of a tent that's 5 times less useful. You need to be on flat ground, it's attached to your vehicle, and it's heavy and clunky

RTTs are for people that actually camp in the middle of nowhere. Ground tents are for people that go to campsites and don’t have to worry about bears, snakes, and mountain lions. Real off-roader’s aren’t sleeping at ground level with that bs

That’s why you get a roof top tent and place it on a trailer base camp. Park it, setup, done. Drive away.

Baffles my mind why anyone puts mpg in the same sentence as offroading in a lifted machine with giant tires. I've watched these overland guys literally pay 3000 more for a tent to say they saved 5 minutes per day. These aren't explorers or campers. There glorified Maddonas that want to act rugged 😂

I call the forest ricers. The funny part is a stock Tacoma/4runner is capable of doing nearly everything they can do at 1/2 the cost

I almost never set up a tent. Only if it's gonna rain/snow or if mosquitoes are bad. I want to see the stars and sunrise. A good sleeping pad and sleeping bag in the back of my truck or on flat ground is all I need. As backcountry wilderi guide I would spend over 100 nights a year sleeping outside. IMO A bivy sack is better than a tent or we would just roll up "burrito" in a tarp. You can break camp in no time. Pro tip: always point your feet into the wind.
