Anyone have a jeep (or other) rooftop tent?
on: February 14, 2013, 11:45:13 PM
I know there was a little discussion on this but does anyone have a rooftop tent for their vehicle? I am interested in one and just want to hear what they're like. Pictures would be nice. And any cons to one? (Besides the price of some of them!)

Price seems to be the biggest issue, followed by roof rack capacity, followed by forgetting where you are when you get up in the middle of the night to pee.

Other than that they seem like a good idea.  I've looked into the ones that build right onto my Jeep, but price has kept me from going much further than that.

With the extra room in the trunk without you sleeping there you can bring the plane!
