Oztent vs roof top tent.
As a whole the ground tent is an economical choice for people that are shopping on a tight budget.
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.
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.
The overlander competes well with the top tier of rooftop tents despite costing significantly less.
My oztent review is that they are fantastic and have had 0 issues with it.
The clever opening system you use the ladder as a giant pry bar to unfurl the unit and get it set up is the same as several.
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.
We ve had our oztent now for a number of years.
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.
If you own an oztent let me know what you think of it.
This helps keep its cost and weight down.
