What is a rooftop tent?

A rooftop tent is a tent accessory part that you can attach to the roof of your Toyota that gives you an elevated camping experience. Rooftop tents vary in size, weight and rack compatibility, living space, fabric, and shipping costs. So, choosing the right roof tent for your Tacoma is based on your preferences. 

There are two main types of rooftop tents 

  • Softshell tents come in a fabric exterior that’s lighter and more affordable than Hardshell tents. 
  • Hardshell tents offer better protection with a hard exterior that pops up vertically. These are more expensive than softshells but are faster to set up and insulation.

Benefits of buying a Tacoma Roof Top tent

If you are hesitant about whether you should buy a rooftop tent, these benefits might bring to light the reasons why you should go ahead and do it. Let’s check it out. 

  • They will probably be the most convenient sleeping arrangement of your life. They are easy to set up and can easily be packed away. 
  • Rooftop rents are an affordable option if you are looking for a cozy camping experience. Your other options may be a camper or RV, however, they run to be more expensive options.
  • They are super reliable and will last you for years because of their strong material. You may notice they last longer than a traditional ground tent. 
  • If you are looking for a unique camping experience, roof tents stand out because they lift you off the ground (don’t worry you aren’t going to fall off), and you’ll be able to enjoy an amazing view of the nature surrounding you. 

Setting up your Roof Tent for your Tacoma

Surprisingly, you can set up your roof tent very quickly. You can expect it to take 3-6 minutes depending on the type of tent and whether you are using a rainfly (which protects your tent from the outside rain and dew). The first time you set up your Tacoma roof tent it might take more than 3-6 minutes, however, once you get the hang of it becomes a piece of cake. Just make sure to give yourself some grace when you are first setting up your roof tent.
