Is a rooftop tent a great camping alternative?

Camp Homes

Rooftop Tents may be the camping home to consider if you love being on the go, especially if you love dispersed camping. This camping alternative has a stress-free setup with state-of-the-art construction for comfort and durability. The rooftop tent has grown in popularity, and there are a lot of choices to choose from, so choose judiciously when making a purchase.

  • Things to think about are how many campers will use the tent and the ease of set up.

  • Make sure to know if your vehicle can handle the weight and be able to comply with the mounting structure.

  • The setup lowers gas mileage.

    The vehicle must be on a level surfaces for less rocking motion while in the tent.

  • The advantage is accessibility; Most tents, sleeping bags, and flat items can stay stored inside when closed.

  • The tent construction should have the same value as a well-made tent; only it sits atop the car.

  • The air-top views create an excellent wind flow throughout the tent.

  • The interior should be roomy, and most have comfortable sleeping pads included with the base.

  • Disadvantages are going up and down stairs, especially with wet weather.

  • Expect lower gas mileage once installed.

  • You can't leave this tent in the campground. So it has to be packed up if driving the vehicle while camping.

Price $1,000-$2,500 standard range but can go and up depending on the construction and brand name.

Make sure the car is compatible with the structure.
