If you wish to take your automotive on an journey, you might have a number of choices in terms of sleeping preparations. You possibly can both fold again the rear seats and lay throughout the trunk, or you possibly can take a tent and spend hours setting it up and packing it away daily 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 seek out out.

To unravel this, I’m spending every 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 appears fairly neat, becoming snugly to the roof with a customized platform protecting the mattress of a pickup truck. As soon as put in, the camper ought to rapidly and simply fold upwards to create a sleeping area for 2 folks and a nine-foot tall dwelling 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 formidable journey from Seattle, Washington, out to Bozeman, Montana. Alongside the best way, I’ll check it in numerous campgrounds and nationwide parks, and hopefully throughout a number of totally different climates to see the way it fares in numerous climate.

However earlier than I decide the camper/truck combo up, I need to know what you’re keen to seek out out about this type of tenting? Are you curious about 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? Effectively, I can inform you now that GFC affords a tent alone for $3,999 or this camper setup with the platform to help it above the mattress of this Gladiator truck brings that as much as $7,700, which appears 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 shifting right here. So, ship me any and all questions you might need about this setup through the feedback part beneath and I’ll do my finest to reply as many as potential.
