Front runner roof tent
Hi all. We have defended 90 with a full size front runner roof rack. Thinking of front runners roof top tent to sleep to adults is this a good option. Seems to be priced around what we are thinking to spend just need some feedback thank you.

hey gozy,

we also run a 90 with the FR rooftent. we chose it cause its light and the most narrowest when folded down on the roof. at least it was the narrowest at the time we bought it Smile

been using it for 3 years now and pretty happy with it. we use it like 20-30 nights a year.

pros:

- light and narrow when folded down
- very spacious inside
- good climate inside. even after hot day temperature is ok inside.
- matress leaves some floor space fpr shoes etc.
- big windows & roof window
- stays dark inside when sun comes up Smile

cons:

- you will need an additional part for the ladder when mounted on the landy cause of its height. ladder and the additional part are not of an extraordinary quality, and a litte sketchy to connect. but all stable and safe.
- additional part of the ladder has to be packed away separately - no room under the cover besides the original ladder.
- takes some time to be packed away.
- cant leave pillows or stuff in it when folded down. at least we were not able to, maybe someone else can Smile

summary: for the price its a steal in my opinion. might be better ones, might be cheaper ones, but you pay a fair price for a good product. but just my 2 cents Smile

hope this helps, feel free to ask anytime Smile

We swear on Autohome (overzone)

+ we leave everything inside
+ no ladder extension necessary
+ we even put the cabin, the winter cap, a plastic soil cove, a carpet 3 sqm and the foldable oven under the cover of the tent

Thickness = 30 cm Thumbs Up
