The overlander competes well with the top tier of rooftop tents despite costing significantly less.
Oztent vs roof top tent.
This helps keep its cost and weight down.
Just a few years ago rooftop tents began popping up in the outdoor market but they were ridiculously expensive.
Off the top of my head we must have spent around 100 nights in the tent with absolutely zero issues.
We ve had our oztent now for a number of years.
Best for small cars and small ish budgets.
As a whole the ground tent is an economical choice for people that are shopping on a tight budget.
If you re shopping on a budget the smittybilt overlander offers a very comfortable mattress and some great accessories like a rubber boot bag and led lights.
A soft shell is going to be a lot like a more standard tent think a canvas roof and walls.
My oztent review is that they are fantastic and have had 0 issues with it.
What started out as a fad that only appealed to rich outdoorspeople has since become much more accessible to all campers thanks to new models for budgets of all sizes.
At just 101 pounds the two person yakima skyrise hd is light for this breed and is the most tentlike of rooftop units in this guide.
Meaning it has a domed shape that allows you to sit up comfortably once inside.
