Roam Adventure Co. Vagabond Rooftop Tent w/Annex

Roam Vagabond Rooftop Tent with Annex

 

Roam Vagabond Black Roof Top Tent with Annex, and Roam Vagabond Rooftop Tent with Annex- forest green/hyper orange, are highly rated and reviewed across the market; and for good reason. The included zip-on annex truly makes the difference in space and comfort, and offers an upgraded experience. Laminated flooring provides more spacious room that is still private and protected from the elements. Use it as a changing area, or extra covered sleeping space for the less-fortunate ground-sleepers. The foldout design makes for an easy set up, and the telescoping ladder is effortlessly stored when not in use. Up inside the RTT, a diamond-plated, insulated base supports the high-density foam mattress. This tent includes an anti-condensation mat to sit underneath the mattress, which is a valuable accessory here in the PNW. Internal vents provide adequate ventilation, and clear vinyl sunroof windows on the rainfly offer natural light while staying insulated from outdoor temperatures. Store your gear inside storage pockets, boot bag and gear hammocks. Waterproof PU-coated tent fabric is resilient to heavy rain and snow, as is the PVC road cover. Packing up is made easy, as this tent allows enough room for you to leave your bedding inside when closed and stored. Install via aluminum extrusions on base with universal sliding brackets and bolts. Additional tent insulation and standard cotton/waterproof sheets are sold separately. Check out our installation tutorial for an in-depth review of this RTT.

To recap our top roof top tent picks, ROAM and Overland Vehicle Systems have the top models to choose from. If you’re looking for a 2-3 person sized tent both the OVS TMBK 3-person RTT and ROAM Vagabond RTT w/Annex are great options. The OVS model is simpler in design, while the ROAM Vagabond is a larger investment with the upgraded materials and included annex. Looking at the 4-person RTTs, ROAM Vagabond XL RTT and OVS Nomadic IV Extended RTT are the top choices. Both are similar in appearance and design, but what sets them apart are the accessories (stakes and paracord rope, LED strip lighting and PVC welcome mat) in the OVS Nomadic IV, versus the annex and extra room with the ROAM Vagabond XL. All these RTTs provide a unique outdoor experience for you and your Jeep, it’s just a matter of choosing the right one that speaks to you and your needs.
