Much closer than I would have guessed. Being 6' 3" helps considerably. Now to see a comparison with Bianca doing both.

Great video! I have the soft top Nomad and love it! I made an extension for my engine crane to lift the whole tent off and on. Now I have the option of mounting it on either my Highlux (4" lifted) or my 8x5 trailer depending on where and how long I'm away for. I love that I can leave all my bedding in the soft top model as it saves heaps of time setting up!

Brilliant, that's a great versatile solution! The soft-top really is an unreal tent, especially for how well priced it is - ours never let us down in 3+ years and we put it through some pretty intense weather haha.

Brilliant, love the creativity! If you take into account the fact that you can leave way more bedding and even clothes in the soft-top, it makes the times even closer.

Very true! We've found we can leave a doona or two in the hard top, but the soft top could pack away with pillows too which was a definite plus.

I’m my Dune soft top I keep an additional 50mm mattress topper, 2 pillows and several opened up sleeping bags as an underlay as well as blankets. I don’t keep the ladder up there though, but there is room for a bit more stuff that’s for sure.

I’d go hard top over soft top any day 👍 Hard tops give less wind drag and are just more durable, so I guess one vote for hard tops 😬👍🍻

Thank you for great, informative content. We watched your videos about both Dune rooftop tents quite a few times and, thanks to you, were well informed. We ended up buying the soft rooftop tent, based on weight and price. We have used it twice now and are very happy with our choice. 😁

Great comparo again, looks like the ranger should stay on for nostalgia 😉 have you thought of getting a piece of elastic to go around the middle of the hard top to help in packing up by pulling in the tent as the tension is released. A lot closer in time than I thought it would be. Cheers 🍻
@explorebound

Thanks mate!! The hard top does have an elastic cord on the inside that helps to pull the material in, but perhaps an additional one would help, cheers 🙂

Can anyone tell me why the Dune 4WD Rooftop Tent is the same as the Dometic TRT? Is it essentially the same manufacturer with different branding? I’m looking for this Rofftop tent and after the Best Buy if they are the same thing.

Soft top now $1099 vs hardtop $2599. Is the hardtop worth the extra do you think? Pros vs cons. I'm in 2 minds which to go for.

For the money the soft top is really hard to beat. The hard top is a better tent, but not $1500 better in my books.

If the struts dont work with the weight, just buy different ones to suit n swap it out.

Hi, the external dimensions are 210 x 140 x 28 cm so the best way to tell would be to measure your roofspace to see if it will overhang. They're not too cold at night as they dont have as much internal space as a floor standing tent so heat up quickly. 🙂
