I have been a tent camper all my life-52 years. My parents caved in years ago and went the route of pulling a trailer to driving a full size Winnebago RV. I still like the roominess of a tent and sleeping more or less outdoors. We sometimes sleep inside our full size Ford van when we arrive late at night.
Lately, I have been intrigued by roof top tents. Best of both worlds! We saw several Land Rovers equipped with RTT while camping at Hart Mountain Antelope Preserve in Oregon. A bunch of them rolled in and had camp set up in minutes. The tents were fairly large canvass tents mounted on either fiberglass or aluminum platforms.
I know the price tag is very high compared to ground tents. But who cares when lots of us own our equipment for years.
There are 2 main types of these tents.
Hard Shell Roof Top Tents
Soft Shell Roof Top Tents.
I like them both. The hard shell really interest me because the hard shell can double as a cargo box where as the soft back tent carrier is not as good of an option for storing items to keep them safe and dry.
Any thoughts, comments, concerns?
Cheers!
