Roof top tents
Roof top tents
Hi all, I'll soon be in the market for a rtt to be mounted on the bed of the wagon on a custom rack I'm having built for the purpose. I've been eyeing the mt. bachelor model from cascadia vehicle tents as its the perfect size for a short bed with a tool box. Do any of you have any experience with cvt tents or have any opinions or info? I'd appreciate any guidance y'all may have on the matter, thanks!

Re: Roof top tents
I've been looking at the smittybilt overland tent. Cheap and looks like it's an ARB knock off.

Re: Roof top tents
I emailed them to get prices. I like the idea of camper top/tent

Re: Roof top tents
Yaaa damn that's pricey I would suggest just building your own. It's going to be smaller but way way way less money. Also maybe consider a travel trailor if you need more room.

Re: Roof top tents
I was thinking of it compared to a slide in camper and I think this would be better on the trail and I think they are quite a bit cheaper.
