@AllThingsOverlanding
3 ай бұрын
I was using the OVS 180 (Link here: amzn.to/4cgzCuI) but only because I already had it. It's a great quality awning and if you have an SUV with a rear hatch, it works great. They also have a well priced 270 awning if you have a truck and want the back covered (Link here: amzn.to/3xvKZjd) or Naturnest sells a 270 awning that might work even better with the tent (Link here: amzn.to/3KZSceF). Personally, when I switch from my 180 to a 270, I'll likely be running the Openroad 270 awning because it's about $500 for a 270 and it's free standing (link here: bit.ly/3VUqeqM). Hope that helps! Lots of options, :D.

I got my NatureNest in March and have 15 nights overland camping in it. It's a terrific product, and why anyone would spend another $2,000 for essentially the same RTT is beyond me. I am 5'11" and I sleep comfortably. Above 6'2" any wedge shaped RTT may be a challenge (unless you're sleeping alone in it, then plenty of room to lay on the diagonal). Rest assured, this is a quality product which I never take off my roof.

I usually try my best to buy American made stuff. If I can't, then I'll buy made anywhere but China. But in this case, this is a great example of the manufacturer selling this almost no-brand product to consumers for a reasonable price whereas other "Overland" brand names probably make their tents in the same factory in China but charge 2-3x more. -- I love competition!

Hi there. New to your channel and I appreciate your review of the Naturnest.

Hi, good question! I've had 3 roof top tents. One that was cheaper (not a hardshell, with a soft cover that was a nightmare to put on and take off, especially in the cold), another one that was similar in design to this but was almost twice as expensive, and then this one for just $1500ish shipped. The biggest standouts to me are that it comes with a condensation mat (none of the other ones I've had had that and it helps with condensation and water to keep your mattress dry), the dark material is really nice to help you sleep better, and the overall design (including the awning that goes over all the windows) really makes it a great value with year-round usability, which is what I was looking for. It definitely makes me question some of the prices of roof top tents because I can't imagine they're are 2-3X better, quality wise to justify the price. Hope that helps!

Thanks Ken and great question. So, after 2 weeks in it in WY and probably another 7 or 8 camping trips in it, it's holding up great. If I'm thinking of critiques, here are my honest thoughts: * The stock mattress is surprisingly good (most of these cheap tents really suck to sleep in) but this one is not bad. It's not amazing, but it's usable and better than expected. * Being a really slim clamshell, it won't hold much gear, but I do have a sleeping bag, wool blanket, all the awning poles, the shoe bags, and the ladder up in it. * The shoe bags will only attach via the keder rail in the back, so if you use the side ladder, you have to unzip the back of the tent to access the shoe bags (unless you use a different shoe bag, which is what I ended up doing). Other than that, for the money, I feel like it's a great value.

Most likely, you would need some sort of upgraded roof rack to be able to take the weight of this tent or similar tents. The most important thing to look for are stats on your dynamic and static roof rack limitations. If you can find that for your vehicle and it’s significantly more than the weight of the tent, you might be fine but you’ll want to do some research.

@AllThingsOverlanding

Well, I got it in May or June, so haven't had it in any snow yet. The fabric is actually pretty heavy and I have had it in 30 degree temps and it was great. I run a diesel heater in winter so I'm not terribly worried about insulation, but it definitely seems to be pretty solidly built. I also did have it in a hail storm in Wyoming and it held up great to that and the side awnings let you keep your windows mostly open/vented, which is my favorite part of the design of the tent.

The tent is about 170 pounds. You would just need a roof rack that can support that weight and allow for it to be installed. It comes with u bolts so you’d need a fair amount of space under the rack crossbars, but that’s for pretty much any roof top tent. Hope that helps!

So, the rain fly doesn't seem to zip off, but interestingly, the entire fabric portion of the tent does have a zipper that runs the length of the thing, which to me indicates that the fabric would be easily replaceable if you ever got a burn hole or tear in the fabric.

That's a great question and I'm actually working on a follow up video to this showing how fast it sets up and tears down and I can add that in there as well to show what I keep in it. Here's the short answer to your question, I keep my sleeping bag, a down blanket, a wool blanket, and some random clothes (left a rain jacket up there on a recent trip) and it all fits fine. When you add in a pillow or I tried an inflatable memory foam mattress, that's too much and it won't close, but you can get the majority of bedding up there, excluding the pillow.

Sure, you could. If you vent them (have the screens zipped, but not the inner windows) or at least have one of them open it helps a bit with closing, just to keep it from becoming a bellows and blowing out the fabric. But, you could definitely zip up all the screens and it should close just fine.

It's a good question. I'm 6'2" and my feet touch the bottom (hinge part) of the tent so I sleep a little diagonally. So, you might be pushing it. If you go solo mostly, you could sleep with your head in one corner and your feet in the other one. Most of these clam shells are basically the same size so if you wanted more room, you'd want one that folds out to the side.
