sorted bywhy would you spend a load of money and flaff around with this thing when you can just pitch an small easy tent next to your car !
unless you want to use it in some country which has loads of creepy crawlies queuing up to take a bite out of you (edited)
And I don’t have one but I’m sure there’s plenty of other reasons. Just because it doesn’t work for you, doesn’t mean it’s not got benefits for others.
I gave up on idea of RTT after renting it twice. Going up and down the ladder is too much hasle. Pitching a pop up tent for quick stay is much easier and fuel economy doesn't suffer. Not to mention the fact, that pop up is much cheaper. (edited)
This one is too narrow for two at 110cm, you want 140cm wide unless you're both friends of Snow White.
Having to pack everything away to go anywhere is a pain, along with climbing on the side of the car to pack it away and put the covers on unless it's a clamshell type (unlikely at this price).
The midnight call of nature down the ladder is also annoying. Get up, put clothes on, unzip tent, put shoes on, vault down ladder witout falling down it, trudge to ablutions, reverse process to go back to bed.
As for wild camping, maybe in deepest Scotland, but stopping at the side of the road and getting a roof tent out in most places is likely to get you some unwelcome attention from the local neer do wells.
Plus sides are it's relatively quick to set up and put away and mattress and bedding are normally mostly ready to go, you're off the ground out of the mud and are not going to float away in the next Glastonbury flood, and it saves space in the car.
Definitely check the roof loading for your vehicle. Tent + a couple of people could be over 200kg and not all roof bars/rails etc are rated for that.
Its safely sits on your car, it's pops up in 10 seconds, has a built in memory foam mattress, and leaves you with your car to work as storage.
They're brilliant, they are expensive. For some people the convenience is worth the expense, for others it isn't.
Some will enjoy it, some won't. This is a very good price for one.
- less likely to have you car stolen
- you can stay in city centre for free
