- [Reacher] On the ground, in the trees,
on mountains, and cliff sides.
But what about on your vehicle?
This is Reacher with Mind's Eye Design
and here are 14 rooftop tents for you to consider.
Number 14.
If you're like me and you always seems to be
setting up your tent at the last minute
then you may like this first entry on our list.
Set up is simple and can be done in 18 seconds.
At the press of a button the integrated electric wench
lifts the roof to provide a sleeping area
just under 31.5 square feet.
It's constructed of aluminum with ripstop canvas
for the side walls and awnings,
with a total weight of just over 132 pounds.
The roof is pre-wired for solar power
and can accommodate up to a 300 watt panel.
Along with the included mattress,
the tent has an overhead light and 12 volt power outlet.
Pricing on this one will run you about $4,600.
Number 13.
This one isn't your typical rooftop tent
but I like it a lot so I'm going to tell you about it.
It's roll-on roll-off design is probably
the first thing you'll notice about it.
It attaches to a roller assembly fitted to the frame
that allows the vehicle to drive out from under the tent
once its legs are securely on the ground.
This allows the owner to have free use of the vehicle,
as well as use the tent in a freestanding capacity.
The unit is constructed from aluminum and stainless steel.
Each one has nine doors that allow access to storage areas
even when it's mounted on the vehicle.
Pricing depends on the model and options,
and can be found by contacting the manufacturer.
Number 12.
Although the name implies that it's tiny,
this one can still compete with its larger competitors.
It measures a little over 28 square feet and can be attached
to any vehicle with a rack system or roof bars.
It opens up to a height of almost five feet.
Can be accessed through any of the three doors.
Each of the openings have mosquito netting
to help protect from the elements,
as well as a rain shelter on the main entrance.
The interior of the roof has a thermal lining
that prevents condensation, in addition to
insulating from the heat and cold.
Pricing can be found by contacting the manufacturer.
Number 11.
This tent is made from a waterproof ripstop canvas
on a stainless steel and aluminum framework.
It has two entrances, allowing easy access from either side.
Two large windows and a sunroof
provide natural light and airflow throughout.
There's also mosquito netting to keep out
the flying itch machines and awnings over
all the openings to keep out the rain.
It can fold out in seconds to an approximate size of
40 square feet, with a 4.5 foot high roof.
LED strip lighting is included, as well as a foam mattress
that can sleep up to three people comfortably.
Pricing on this one starts at $900.
Number 10.
This monster of a tent is perfect for groups of campers.
It measures in at 56 square feet,
with sleeping room for up to four people.
It also includes an annex
that can be used as a changing area.
The tent has three doors, as well as
an opening into the annex.
Mosquito netting and awnings come standard on the door areas
to protect against the elements,
yet still allow natural airflow.
There's also a privacy wall
to divide the sleeping area, if needed.
It's made from an aluminum framework, ripstop fabric,
and PVC flooring for a total weight of 232 pounds.
The base price on this one is $2,300.
Number nine.
The sleek aluminum frame of this tent opens in seconds
to reveal a space more than suitable for two people.
The tent is installed using a rail system
and mounting tracks.
It offers 33 square feet of usable space
with a 6.5 foot high ceiling.
The large windows and door provide access
from all three sides.
An awning over the door protects from the rain
while netting over the windows keeps out the bugs,
but still allows airflow throughout.
It has a three inch thick memory foam mattress
that can stay in the tent during transport.
This one has multiple options,
with pricing available from the manufacturer.
Number eight.
This is another tent to add to the family friendly group.
The A-frame design comes in three different models,
with the largest measuring in at 65 square feet.
That is seriously a monster sized tent to have
on the top a vehicle.
Three oversized windows allow for natural airflow,
as well as offering a great view of your surroundings.
Awnings hang over all the windows
to protect from the elements.
There's also a large fully covered entrance
accessible via the included ladder.
These tents can sleep anywhere from
two to four people comfortably with the capability
of a few more if you attach the optional annex.
Prices range from $1,050 to $1,550.

Number seven.
The company claims that this tent is the industry benchmark
and the standard by which all other roof tents are measured.
I don't have time to research that statement
so I'll let you do it for me while I sit here
believing everything I read on the internet.
It utilizes a folding platform construction
which incorporates aluminum and steel hardware
attached to ply board covered with ripstop fabric.
The 42 square foot tent can accommodate three adults
or two adults and two small children comfortably.
The included annex allows access from the vehicle,
in addition to providing sleeping room for two more people.
Pricing starts at around $4,200.
Number six.
This tent is ideal for those who want the fun
without all the hassle.
Set up can be done in 15 minutes using
the tool free vehicle mounts.
The aluminum polls and nylon material provide
a lightweight tent with an easy to pitch design
that provides 14 square feet of space.
A 2.5 inch thick mattress provides
a sleeping area for up to three people.
Oversized windows allow extra ventilation,
as well as a sky light that offers a view of the night sky.
The included rainfly adds protection from the elements
while mesh panels on the openings can zip up
to keep out the flying buzzy things.
This one will run you about $1,100.
Number five.
Like many, this one started out as a campaign
on Kickstarter and to date it is still the most successful
tent project that has ever been done on there.
The hard shell rooftop tent can be deployed
in less than a minute.
The aluminum floor expands to accommodate a
king sized mattress that can sleep two adults
and two children, or three adults, comfortably.
An oversized entrance, large windows, and a skylight
provide natural light and ventilation,
as well as a view of the stars at night.
Optional features include three choices of fabric,
as well as an annex room that can
provide extra living space.
This one is made to order, starting at $3,600.
Number four.
If you're looking for a tent that can handle
the elements of any season, then look no further.
Well, at least look to the end of the video
or my boss will dock my pay.
The unique soft shell design of this tent allows the user
to interchange the canopies via a Zipper Gimp
that attaches them to the base.
Its A-frame design offers 37 square feet of space
that can sleep up to three people.
The screen sides allow an almost
unobstructed field of vision.
Universal mounting brackets and an 8.5 foot ladder
ensure that it can be used on just about any vehicle.
Pricing starts at $1,275.
Number three.
This beast of a tent is bigger than my car
so this one isn't an option for me.
The tent measures in at a massive 66 square feet.
It has a floor made from honeycomb aluminum
and the canvas is thick enough to be used in the snow.
The waterproof mattress can sleep three adults
or a family of four.
The included annex room provides additional space
for sleeping or relaxing, as well as offering access
to the vehicle without exposure to the elements.
Windows in the tent and large doors in the annex
allow for an abundance of natural light and ventilation,
while still keeping the insect demons at bay
with the zip up mesh covers.
Pricing for this one starts at $3,100.
Number two.
From looking at this tent, I'm thinking the name came from
its integrated dual skylights.
They're frost proof and they allow light in
even when the rainfly is on.
That's the coolest thing yet, if you ask me.
This extra rugged tent offers 47.5 square feet of living
space that can sleep two to three adults comfortably.
Three oversized windows offer natural ventilation.
Each one has a zippered mesh closure,
as well as a roll up awning to protect from the elements.
An integrated solar panel provides any necessary power
that may be needed for electronic devices and lighting.
Pricing on this one starts at $2,350.

we want to remind you to let us know after the video
what you think about having a tent on your vehicle.

for users to charge any electronic devices,
as well as powering air vents and lighting.
