8 Benefits of a Rooftop Tent

Unlike ground tents or RVs/trailers, our Rooftop Tents can be set up anywhere where the road takes you. Booking a spot in a crowded campground is no longer a necessity, and unlike backcountry camping, camping in your rooftop tent doesn’t mean sacrificing all of the amenities and comfort of home – something especially important for families with children.

Here are 8 of the top reasons why rooftop camping is becoming more and more of a popular way to explore and spend time with friends and family:

1. Sleep Quality: Sleeping in a Roof Top Tent means you’ll be well away from creepy crawlies that live on the ground, and your camping gear remains safely stored with you out of reach of mice and other critters. Being up high also means you’ve got a better chance of catching a pleasant breeze on warmer nights, helping to keep you cool and comfortable all night long.
2. Quick Setup: All of our Roof Top Tents take just minutes to set up and take down. are engineered for a speedy setup. Setting up your Roof Top Tent is much more straightforward then setting up a traditional ground based tent. 
3. Comfort: Our Roof Top Tents are designed to fit camping/inflatable mattresses. However, even without a mattress, sleeping in one of our Roof Top Tents is much more comfortable than on the ground. Dealing with uncomfortable rocks and tree roots while trying to sleep is not an issue with a Roof Top Tent.
4. Versatility: A major reason campers purchase a Roof Top Tent is thanks to their incredible versatility. You can set up virtually anywhere—parking lots, remote trails, or the usual campground. There is no need for a clean tent pad or a tent-sized surface free of rocks or tree roots. 
5. Affordability: Like RVs and campervans, Roof Top Tents are much more affordable in the long run than hotels. However, our Roof Top Tents are just a fraction of the cost of an RV or campervan, and take up far less space when in storage. 
6. Waterproof: Once properly set up, our Roof Top Tents will keep you warm and dry no matter what the weather throws at you. The lightweight roof is fully waterproof, and thanks to its hard shell design it repels water much more effectively than traditional ground tents.
7. Multiple Campsite Options: On-the-move campers can easily move from place to place, making a Roof Top Tent the perfect choice for trips involving multiple stops.
8. Environmental Impact: Roof Top Tents are also much better for the fuel economy of your vehicle compared to towed trailers as they weigh far less. This makes owning a RoofTop Tent an attractive asset to those seeking to save money and reduce environmentally harmful emissions. With all of these advantages, it comes as no surprise that rooftop camping is becoming more and more popular in Canada and beyond.
