Just a few years ago rooftop tents began popping up in the outdoor market but they were ridiculously expensive.
Oztent vs roof top tent.
My oztent review is that they are fantastic and have had 0 issues with it.
As a whole the ground tent is an economical choice for people that are shopping on a tight budget.
The overlander competes well with the top tier of rooftop tents despite costing significantly less.
What started out as a fad that only appealed to rich outdoorspeople has since become much more accessible to all campers thanks to new models for budgets of all sizes.
We ve had our oztent now for a number of years.
Off the top of my head we must have spent around 100 nights in the tent with absolutely zero issues.
At just 101 pounds the two person yakima skyrise hd is light for this breed and is the most tentlike of rooftop units in this guide.
If you re shopping on a budget the smittybilt overlander offers a very comfortable mattress and some great accessories like a rubber boot bag and led lights.
This helps keep its cost and weight down.
It should take over 100 to get a basic ground tent while roof top tent can only go as low as 750.
A soft shell is going to be a lot like a more standard tent think a canvas roof and walls.
If you own an oztent let me know what you think of it.
