    Hi All,
    Here's a list of roof rack tents I found. Does anyone own one of these? How do you like it? Pros/Cons? The one thing I did notice is you have to fold the tent back up if you want to use your vehicle, but seems like a cool option nonetheless. Thanks!

    I haven't used it personally but had a few friends use it when i missed camping. From what i gathered, it is awesome, it lets you sleep comfortably - They can stand up to rain and you get no water drama. Biggest turn off is that whenever you need to move the car you have to set it off.

    Never used one but if you camp in cooler weather you are gonna have cold air under your tent as well as above it. I would think that it would be colder than a tent pitched on the ground.
