What rack have you mounted it to ?

Espace Evolution

I have one of these in black. I have it on my trailer at the moment but it is going on the roof for a quick trip to Tassy at Christmas. Low profile, very little drag and the quickest set up you could imagine. Pricey though.

I have a Darche Highview 2 rooftop tent.
This tent has only been used once a couple of weeks ago and it was erected inside a huge farm shed.
I had bought one of the cheaper ones which I had problems with, long story short they replaced it with the Darche Highview 2 which is a better quality tent, heavier canvas and better fly cover.

So as new like I said used once erected indoors, so you will need to do the wet down canvas routine etc.

I won't be using a rooftop tent anymore just invested in some stretcher bed tents.

PM me for details if your interested.

They are impressive. Not much space left on the roof rack though.
Is the cost around $2k?

More like $4K plus. It is great though and I do use it a lot when I visit my friends near Mt Glorious. The best bit about it when travelling is the speed of set up and pack up. I can pull up on the side of the road and be in bed in 30sec.

We have an Austrack XL RTT that can sleep 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kids) very tightly, but would be very comfortable for 4 kids. Also has dual ladders and a zip on annexe that could sleep another double/queen bed.


Its great for touring when you want a quick setup and pack away. The beds are ready within about 10 mins and another 15mins if you want the annexe setup as well.


Cheers,

I really liked the hard shell Wild Earth RTT we used in Cairns. Undo 2 clips and it pops up. Need to be near an Expedition Centre store for it to be a viable option though. Shipping is too high otherwise. Reasons for hard shell.

Easy setup and pack down.

Outlasts canvas bags.

Easy to brush off the million spyders that collected on the vehicle whilst camped on by a lake in FNQ.
