What are the advantages of a roof top tent? Mobility – Great for a road trip. The perfect adventure on the road if you’re moving from place to place. Set up wherever your vehicle can go. Top choice for people who often head out for weekend trips, surfers moving from beach to beach, 4x4 enthusiasts and anyone looking for a bit of adventure and fun. Quick and easy set up – park and your tent can be set up in a few minutes. Another 10 minutes to set up the annex if required. Comfort – sleeping on a luxurious double mattress up off the ground for a great night’s sleep. And leave your bedding in the tent when you pack up. Durable – made of tougher, more durable and longer lasting weatherproof materials (like canvas, steel and aluminium tread plate) compared to ground tents which often focus on being light and portable. Off ground – like your own tree house - no mud or flooding, catches breezes for ventilation. Frees up storage space in vehicle – having the tent on the roof means you have more space in your vehicle for other gear. Security – up off the ground makes things less accessible to animals and people. Cheaper than RV – enjoy some of the comforts and mobility of an RV on a budget.
