Just a few years ago rooftop tents began popping up in the outdoor market but they were ridiculously expensive.
Oztent vs roof top tent.
Best for small cars and small ish budgets.
The overlander competes well with the top tier of rooftop tents despite costing significantly less.
We ve had our oztent now for a number of years.
My oztent review is that they are fantastic and have had 0 issues with it.
Off the top of my head we must have spent around 100 nights in the tent with absolutely zero issues.
It should take over 100 to get a basic ground tent while roof top tent can only go as low as 750.
If you re shopping on a budget the smittybilt overlander offers a very comfortable mattress and some great accessories like a rubber boot bag and led lights.
This helps keep its cost and weight down.
Meaning it has a domed shape that allows you to sit up comfortably once inside.
What started out as a fad that only appealed to rich outdoorspeople has since become much more accessible to all campers thanks to new models for budgets of all sizes.
At just 101 pounds the two person yakima skyrise hd is light for this breed and is the most tentlike of rooftop units in this guide.
A soft shell is going to be a lot like a more standard tent think a canvas roof and walls.
