Roof top tents (RTTs) are becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. With a tent mounted on top of your vehicle, you have the advantage of being off the ground, which means you will not be as susceptible to flooding or critters getting into your tent. It also means that less dirt and mud will be tracked into the tent, and you have more airflow for improved ventilation.

Roof top tents are designed to be more durable than ground tents and they are generally quicker and easier to set up too. Plus, RTTs often include a built-in mattress so you don’t have to mess around with uncomfortable air mattresses that are difficult to inflate.

Hard shell RTTs have some definite advantages over soft shells. Here’s a few more reasons we love them:

To start, they are much better insulated than soft shell tents which means they stay a more comfortable temperature throughout the year and, due to the smaller amount of fabric involved, they are much quieter to sleep in, especially in windy conditions.

Often the mattresses in hard shell RTTs are thicker and more comfortable than in soft shell tents as well.

Setting up and stowing a hard shell tent is much easier and quicker and can be done by one person even in adverse weather.

Due to the more rugged construction, they often last longer than soft shells.

Finally, with many hard shell tents, you have the option to add storage on top of the tent, which can still be used even when the tent is deployed.
