If you wish to take your automotive on an journey, you’ve a couple of choices relating to sleeping preparations. You’ll be able to both fold again the rear seats and lay throughout the trunk, or you’ll be able to take a tent and spend hours setting it up and packing it away each day of your drive. Clearly each include their execs and cons, however does a rooftop tent repair any of their downfalls? That’s what I’m decided to search out out.
To unravel this, I’m spending per week with a Go Quick Campers rooftop camper that’s been fitted to a Jeep Gladiator truck. The unit in query has been developed by Montana-based GFC and it suits to the roof of all method of vehicles – together with the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra pickup truck.
It seems fairly neat, becoming snugly to the roof with a customized platform masking the mattress of a pickup truck. As soon as put in, the camper ought to shortly and simply fold upwards to create a sleeping area for 2 individuals and a nine-foot tall residing area. With the platform put in, the camper is able to holding as much as 500 kilos.
To place this folding camper to the check, I’m heading out west for a powerful journey from Seattle, Washington, out to Bozeman, Montana. Alongside the way in which, I’ll check it in varied campgrounds and nationwide parks, and hopefully throughout a couple of completely different climates to see the way it fares in several climate.
However earlier than I choose the camper/truck combo up, I wish to know what you’re keen to search out out about this type of tenting? Are you interested by the comfort of a camper like this and do you just like the sound of not having to fill your trunk with tenting gear?
What concerning the worth of this setup? Nicely, I can let you know now that GFC presents a tent alone for $3,999 or this camper setup with the platform to assist it above the mattress of this Gladiator truck brings that as much as $7,700, which feels like some huge cash.
I’m excited to see what all that will get you, heck, I’m additionally excited to drive the Gladiator because it’ll be my first time behind the wheel of an American pickup since transferring right here. So, ship me any and all questions you might need about this setup through the feedback part under and I’ll do my finest to reply as many as doable.
