    Sold. Roost Roof Top tent for sale $1,600 OBO

    Sadly I'm going to have to move and start Medical School. I hate to let it go but I'm not going to have time to use it. Also I need the cash to help get ready and move. The mattress is very comfortable and it is the upgraded 3 inch thick option with removable washable cover. It is the black...

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    You don't really lose any space front to rear (although the front isn't very high where it pivots) you do loose some space side to side with the gas shocks that raise and lower the top. i'm much shorter than you but my buddy who used it last summer a couple times is 6 ft 3 in. I just asked him...

    Don't Trust ARE Universal track for a RTT

    I just removed my Roost roof top tent to replace the Thule crossbars with Rhino Rack HD crossbars (Thule began to bend and were discontinued so I couldn't add a third bar) and I found out that the one corner was free floating. the track is still connected to the shell but the track cracked in a...

    I haven't had that problem but I read somewhere else of people having that problem. How do you have to fix it?

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    You are correct it has three zippered screens which held out all of the bugs last week by the river. I haven't noticed the tent being loud from wind but I doubt I've slept in it with over 20 mph of wind. The last time I slept in it all I heard was the Colorado river and the occasional truck in...

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    I liked the CVT tent but I wanted to be able to get in it from any of the three sides so i could use it with my other car when i get a rack on it. Defender roof racks have a rear ladder so I didn't want to be limited to the side entry.

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    Congrats I love mine. I slept in Moab last week in the Roost. The only new thing that I'd update my review with is to take the mattress out between trips and occasionally double check the rails that attach the RTT to the rack. Earlier this summer I rattled the left track loose.

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    you would fit fine. my first trip to moab a buddy and i fit in it without problems and without touching. he's a touch taller than you and we both weigh about 200 each. I emailed ARE about the fiberglass shell that the RTT is mounted to. ARE told me that they don't publish static weight...

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    you just take the sides of the tent off (which is attached with Velcro and buttons) then pull the mattress out of the box. probably ten minutes to take the "tent" out of the RTT. Thanks I like my setup. Its no Chinook but it works well.

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    the shipping container didn't look damaged. I think it was a loose nail on the pallet so I didn't see it until UPS had left.

    Roost Roof Top Tent

    I couldn't find any reviews of the Roost tent when I ordered one but I liked the locking design, the ability to hold skis in the winter, and the fact that it was made in the US. When it arrived it had been damaged in shipping. still usable but the latch on the passenger side wouldn't lock...
