The Roofnest does sit a lot lower in profile...look at this fine example of what's doable:

I think I’m going with Roam, anyone have any experience with them?

We put one on the Giveaway Gladiator.

It was the first time I've had a chance to mess with one up close in person and it's a nice tent. One of the biggest things that stands out to me was they come fully loaded, you don't have to add a bunch of options like the thicker mattress or condensation mat and all at a nice price.

One of our customers just recently submitted this. It's our SkyLux Bantam RTT (2-Person).

Cheers,

The quality of Eezi-Awn is tough to beat. I’ve also ran a lot of tents (ARB,CVT, Tepui, Roofnest, GoFSR, Eezi and probably a few others). I prefer the fold out style for a number of reasons but the hard shells seem to be the norm for now.

Eezi-Awn Series 3 1600 on an ARE shell. Also added a Rhino Dome Awning for the rear.

The ARE top can handle the weight? Or did you reinforce it?

Absolutely it can handle it. The reinforced caps are a waste in my opinion.

Looks like ROAM is having a huge discount on their RTTs and other products today. Worth’s look if you’re leaning towards their gear.

Good lookin out! I saved 20% because of your post. Cheers!
Awesome glad you were able to take advantage. Looks like they’ve extended it through Sunday.

I have this and it’s perfect for 2 adults and a 10y/o

Can I ask how you mounted it to your rack? Does your rack have bars running horizontally across your bed? I got my tent today, and the rails on my rack and the track on the bottom of the tent run in the same direction so I am trying to figure out how to attach the tent to the rack... or maybe I am just illiterate!

Thanks!

I went with the Roofnest. Took it to Western Carolina and Tennessee this weekend. Had a great time. Luv the tent.

Is that the max modular rack you have on back as well? If so, how did you attach your tent to your rack? My rack has rails that run the same direction as the track on the tent, so the mounting brackets I don't see working.
