enigma-2 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Never seen anything like it. Looks like a great weekend getaway bedroom. Is the mattress confortable? Use sleeping bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterhill Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 The mattress is very comfortable. It’s a full sized bed. In the past I’ve used sleeping bags- here in TX I might just need a thin sheet in the summertime. it fits in my garage by about an inch. I can deploy the tent in about a minute, putting it up is about 2-3 min as you have to tuck in the canvas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I've always been intrigued by those. How does the tent's interior length compare to potentially sleeping inside the Edge, with the front seats moved fully forward. with the second row folded down, combined with the cargo area, perhaps using something like this? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterhill Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) There is more room in the rooftop tent. Also, keep in mind that the rear area with seats folded down is not flat. You could build a platform to level it, but it would still be narrower and shorter. im thinking of building a platform so I can sleep 2 up top, 2 down below. I’m 6’2” and I can sit-up in the rooftop tent Edited August 22, 2021 by Waterhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Man that's expensive. $330? I looked on Amazon and this one sells for $43. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093R3C3FJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_4HK9DFM45Z3PZSDR6CMZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterhill Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I bought it in England, and moved back to the US with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Roof Cabin's website shows two models that look comparable to your photos. Can you please advise whether your Roof Cabin is the Streamline or Streamline Plus? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingnewts Posted Thursday at 04:25 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:25 PM Hello, I have been looking into putting a RTT on my 2013 Ford Edge. I have been running all over the internet to figure out weight and the right crossbar set up but there is not much for the Edge. Thus post is the first I have seen a tent on top of an Edge! I was happy to see it! So, my question is how much dynamic weight can the Edge carry and what kind of crossbars did you use to hold your tent? I know the factory crossbars are no good. I would appreciate any advice! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
