After having a soft shell roof tent and moving to a hard shell, my set up time is so quick. Sub 15 seconds if I really want to be speedy. Do you do anything different to accelerate your set up time at camp?
I remember my very first night I spent in a roof tent years ago. It was in the Lake District in May and as we sat around a campfire, you could see ice forming on the backs of our jackets as it was that cold. Sleeping in my old softshell roof tent on my own that night was a real cold one. We even woke up to snow on the…
Another video has been dropped in the roof tent series! In this video, I walk you through how to fit a roof tent on your vehicle. There may be slight nuances to different vehicles and tents, but this is a great way to get a greater understanding on how they mount so you can be prepared if you're thinking about or have…

I have the heater built into a box that gets left outside and then the hot air is blown into the tent via ducting. It means I can camp all year round regardless of the temperature but, I once…
With there being so many available rooftents on the market, people are able to decide which suits their needs the most. For me, one of the most important features was speed of set-up and pack down. When travelling for weeks on end, the total time to erect and pack away a softshell tent quickly adds up so being able to…
I began camping in traditional ground tents at a young age with family and friends and have a vast number of great memories from those times. As I grew older and bought my first vehicle, I decided that I wanted to explore the gems that the United Kingdom had on offer. To achieve this, I started looking at rooftents as it…
