THE ACCESSORY DREAM GUIDE
TRANSFORM YOUR NEXT
CAMPING ADVENTURE
Roof Top Tents, commonly referred to
as a “RTT”, are becoming increasingly
popular for cars, trucks and SUVs. More
than just a cool looking accessory
mounted to your roof rack, truck bed
rack or adventure trailer, a RTT is sure to
transform your next camping adventure.
Some of the benefits are:
SET-UP
When you use a RTT on your next camp-
ing adventure, you can say good-bye to
the challenges of setting up a traditional
ground tent. There’s no need to hammer
tent pegs into the ground (if you haven’t
lost them already) or worry about the
challenges of setting up camp in the dark
or in inclement weather. Simply level out
your vehicle as much as possible, remove
the cover, open the tent, extend the
ladder and you’re ready for a good
night’s sleep!
COMFORT
Each RTT has a built-in mattress on the floor
and is typically constructed of thicker and
more insulated materials than a ground
tent, which provides a more comfortable
sleeping setup. Large side windows and
roof skylights also make temperature
control easy and condensation build-up a
thing of the past.
SECURITY
Besides the cool factor of feeling like you’re
sleeping in a tree fort, RTTs keep you off
the ground and away from the curiosity of
critters and from bigger animals who may
want to visit you in the night.
WEATHER
The durable and insulated materials
used in most RTTs help to keep the elements
out, while side window and entrance
overhangs protect you further from rain,
sleet and snow (if you’re daring enough to
go winter camping!). You also won’t need
to worry about bailing water from the tent
floor, should heavy rainfall interrupt your
camping experience.
FREE UP CARGO SPACE
Having your RTT stored outside of the
vehicle means you no longer need to take
up valuable cargo space inside. Sleeping
bags, pajamas and even thin pillows can
stay inside your folded-up RTT.
