“I've used this tent twice now and love it. My wife can set it up alone within 5 minutes. I'm 6 foot 4 and I can lay down the long side or the wide side and have enough room to sleep comfortably without touching the side walls. My wife, 2 kids, and I sleep in it with our dog and still have room to keep a pile of spare blankets on the side Incase it gets colder. The mattress is comfortable and has a removable liner that makes it easy to wash. The shipping was quick and painless. We had our tent at our door within 3 days. The front awning ties down good enough to handle the 30 mph winds we had on our 2nd trip. I would highly recommend.”
“Can‚Äôt say enough ability off raid tents. Not only do they have inventory ready to ship that much bigger companies are quoting 12 week lead times on, they‚Äôve responded to questions on weekends and even New Year‚Äôs Day. Very highly recommended. I‚Äôm not an affiliate and wasn‚Äôt provided any incentive to provide a review (I actually had to email them to ask how to leave positive feedback)”
“Owned if for 6 months used it about 40 nights so far it is a great size fits my family of 4 ..the mattress is ok if it's just a overnighter or if u are a light person I'm 195lb and after the second night usually move to my hammock but it's not horrible ..I had it on my 4door jeep rubicon but it just felt to heavy up there so I built a trailer for it . The tents waterproofing held up amazing in a few thunder heavy rain hail but it has a serious flaw in the design of the overhang that the annex attaches to.when it rains the water does not run off and pools up and collapses the overhang .I have tried several ways to adjust the fly and pull it tight nothing has worked well enough to warrant peace of mind in a rainstorm other the just checking it all the time. I have seen utube vids on guys making there own frame around the inside with pvc pipe but my whole reason for a roof top tent was for the ease of setup and I dont wanna have to put more things together..there are a few more issues but I think they probably pertain to most tents. If you take good care of it it's a good tent for the price I also have the annex but my jeep was to tall to use it with the bottom on it, and my trailer is too low so I prob wasted my money there lol...”
“I researched RTTs to the end of the internet, and landed on the Smittybilt being the best investment. I have a small family (wife, two young kids) and the size and quality of this tent are perfect for our overlanding trips. I've only had the tent out a handful of times, but so far, I'm really happy with it.The money I saved on the tent allowed me to buy a high quality roof rack, and an onboard air compressor (ARB single piston) I installed it on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU via a Rhino Rack Backbone with Pioneer Platform. I do notice a bit more weight, but nothing that significantly affects off-road performance. After all of my research I couldn't justify spending 2X-3X on a tent, if my sleeping experience was not going to be 2X-3X better. The quality seems very good. The materials are fairly standard in terms of fabric, seams, zippers, etc. Mattress is a little slim, but that is a cheap/easy fix with egg crate or other sleeping mat. We bought the annex too. Can't say enough about how luxurious it is to have the annex. It's quite big, lots of space to dress. Could easily sleep two more people. Cover is really great - the velcro attachment is strong, keeps tent clean, and really easy to install/remove. Highly recommend this tent if you've never bought an RTT. Don't waste money on a super expensive tent - start with this tent - find out if you like the set up or not - then if you really feel like you need an upgrade, sell your Smittybilt (they will sell fast) and upgrade.”
