Roof top tents

I will add more to this list if I run across more brands which I am sure I have seen, I just can not remember all the brands out there.

And last but not least, a home made one

As you can see, there are many brands out there as there are price variances.
Pick the style you like and the type of environment you will encounter.

Even though this info is on my website and probably my buildup thread, I have been asked to include it here too so the info is available.

The nice thing about roof top tents is you can leave the bedding in it full time.
Some use sleeping bags, however after researching online when I bought my tent, I found out that many use sheets and comforters much like they do at home.

With my medium size Maggiolina AirLand tent, full size sheets fit the mattress to a T.

For a comforter I went with a nice winter weight down one sized in a twin.

I bought the comforter for the tent but used it on my bed at home before I had a chance to put it in the tent.
I liked the comforter so much I ordered another one for my bed at home in a queen.

The company I bought the comforter from makes them slightly larger than a standard one, so there is extra length to it which is fine.
Gives you more to double up at the top or bottom if you want to.

Here are the links to the flannel sheets I bought and the down comforter.

Pinzon 160 Gram Yarn-Dyed Flannel Sheet Set Very high quality, you will think you are at home in your bed and not camping.

Twin size down comforter from The Company Store - Ultra Warmth weight with 35 oz. of goose down

Super sweet idea. Will one of these fit on my GR roof rack?

It looks like it might.



However it will be up kind of high like mine with the factory rack.
Hopefully next year I will have a new rack to lower mine down substantially.

As long as an aftermarket rack though has built in or aftermarket crossbars that go width wise of the rig, this will allow the tents bottom to mate to it.
Here is how they mount.
