JK 2014 Roof Rack and Roof Tent

[TRBN8R]

Hi Roya,

Although I hae never used one but I have seen people use it and I have an awning tent that I never use. Biggest drawback of a rooftop tent and the awning tent is that it is attached to the vehicle. Everytime you want to move the vehicle to go some where or for a drive you have to packup the tent. I will suggest if you cant fit a tent and your gear into the Jeep get a cheap camper trailer or a box trailer to carry your tent and camping gear in.

I have a smallish camper trailer and I have used it effectively with 2 kids. If I am travelling alone I just use a swag.

Second part is the expense. You are looking at about $12-1500 for the roof racks and another 1000-1200 for the tent. you can buy a basic trailer and a good tent for less than that money and use the trailer for other house hold jobs as well.

Cheers
