Best rooftop tents

Look up Hybrid, foldout rooftop tent by FSR, https://gofsr.com/products/nova-hybrid-foldout-rooftop-tent. It looks as though it might fit on a 4runner by it's dimensions and weight (132lbs).

 

Worth checking out, it would have been on my list of options if I were shopping now.

 

I'm planning a trip to Alaska and I will have multiple occasions when I'm only in camp for 1 night. It would be nice to not pitch a tent and tear it down everyday, so in that scenario a RTT would be perfect. But, when I'm not traveling to Alaska, and I'm camping near home, I don't move camp every night. I'm not an Overlander where I'm packing up and moving camp everyday for that day's drive, I'm all about the destination. I typically stay in my camp for at least 2 nights and I often need to drive to a section of river, or a trail, or whatever; so in that scenario, having a RTT means I have to tear it down to drive. But the real downside that has me on the fence is I piss about twice per night!

 

you get good at going down that ladder in the night, littel harder after a few beverages, but that also seems to add a trip. And when you say tear down, I can have my tent closed and secured in probably 2 to 3 minutes, usually just putting around, I have it done in 5. For me, when we had a tent, that would stay and keep our site claimed, but I still had to pack up most of my gear for security reasons.

 

I ended up buying one and am using it on a trip from Colorado to AZcamping on the way. We love it but we had to buy some extra padding for underneath us. We are currently in Moab and heading to Sedona tomorrow

 

Ya, that seems to be a common thing. The mattresses tend to have a lot to desire.
