Overlanding and Camping Poll

Same

I sorta depends on the circumstances.
If the dogs are with me, the ground tent is easier to manage.
If I'm solo, the RTT is easier.

Which brand bed tent is yours?

I have NO clue. It was an Amazon impulse purchase and I just looked for one with decent reviews. My other ground tents are name brands like Marmot and North Face, but this was a happy experiment that worked much better than expected. Literally after seeing dozens of RTTs for sale on Facebook marketplace I just started questioning how good that setup was so I just looked for alternatives.

Looking at all the options on Amazon today, I think they all come from the same Chinese factory with different names and colors

And. BTW I’m not opposed to RTTs. My son-in-law had a Ford F-250 SuperDuty that was a dedicated off-road overland rig with a NICE RTT setup. But he also has 5 other cars so this was NOT his DD. It’s was his “camping in style” rig.

Curious, what does SWAG stand for, or is this like MOAB?

When I lived in Australia, "swag" referred to "...a portable sleeping unit that combines a tent, sleeping bag, and mattress," typically used for camping or outdoor sleeping. It is often carried by travelers in the bush and is designed for easy transport and setup.

We are new to camping, picked up a cheap homemade teardrop style camper. Has AC and a bed with some storage. I don't care for the giant campers but also don't care for the hassle of tents. This allows us to just hook and go after loading some food and clothing. I can see us upgrading to a nicer teardrop or other style of small trailer someday.
