Oasis II Roof Top Tent

[Super Doody]

So, what is the opening characteristics of it? How do you open it in other words? EzeeAwn and others its a clamshell and you pull the ladder over and you have a place to sleep. Is the Oasis a quick opening, easy setup?

I think the design is growing on me. It looked inferior to the other products out there, but seems to have good reviews? I have an Xterra and the lightweight lower profile design would be best for it.

Thanks for your help.

I think it opens in a similar fashion. IMO, the fact its half the weight of EzeenAwn other RTT with the ability to remove it and to used a base camp is as functional as they get.

Did I say half the weight? That huge. I throughly read trekking's website. They appear to be a solid company and responded to my email very quickly. Their design has won some awards in Europe.

I wish some one would step up and become a reputable distributor for them. Rogue River Trading (the listed supplier for oasis) or whoever they are dont even have any phone and dont respond to their emails.

I may bite the bullet in a month or two and get one of these tents. I think it would serve my needs well and may encourage more camping trips. Im all for pitching a ground tent, but I've had enough of water running under the tent in down pours at night. My only real concern would be lightening storms? (I tend to plan weeks in advance to go camping on the stormiest weekends)....

Whats the risk of a lightening strike in a roof top tent??

I would say slim chance since you are mounted on top of your truck which is insolated from the ground due to your rubber tires. Not impossible, but not likley.

Cars get struck by lightening almost every day.... actually....

Hey Todd,

Looks like the sleeping platform at more of recline angle than flat?

there is a bit of incline at the head but it is hardly noticeable with the mesh flooring. I get the question alot, especially from stomach sleepers, but it is really comfortable and hard to notice the incline.

It really takes laying in one to understand how comfortable it is.

Actually, I prefer a little incline It would be cool to try it out in person. Wish there was a retailer in Nor Cal
