What to Consider when buying a Roof Top Tent?
Price
For most people, this is definitely important. Will the price fit my budget? Is the quality of the tent worthy of the money that I will be paying or am I just paying that much because of the brand?
Hardshell or Softshell?
In essence, hard shell tents are ideal for those who will be moving a lot and will be travelling from one site to another site frequently.
If you are looking to save money, or expect to be spending a bit of time at each campsite, go with a soft shell.
Weight
If you plan on attaching and detaching the tent from your car often, a low weight will make it easier to do so. The weight also affects the stability of the vehicle when moving over uneven terrain.
Also consider your roof racks, make sure that you don’t buy a tent that exceeds the weight rating of your rack, otherwise you’ll need to purchase a more suitable roof racks to support it.

Let’s Wrap it Up!
There are wide quality options to choose from when it comes to roof top tents. In the soft shell category, our pick is the Wanaka Roof Top Tent by Guana Equipment - especially if you're after a big tent for you and your friends or family.
We have personally used and tested this tent in our camping trips and we are very confident to say that this brand has matched our expectation. Guana Equipment may be relatively new in the Australian Market, but this brand is very consistent in the US and South America and its because of the quality and their lower price point compared to more popular brands.
Now, in the Hardshell Category, it's more difficult to choose. We're leaning towards the Aluminum King Roof Top Tent because of the premium material it's made of but if we're going to talk about pricing, we will go with the Eezi-Awn Blade.
I sincerely hope that this article will guide you to choose the best roof top tent for your overlanding trip. If you still have questions, feel free to drop a comment below or send your inquiry to info@offroadtents.com.au
