Before we begin, let’s explain the obvious fact that most of the three person roofed tents are made in China and then sold in the United States. Once again, as we have said many times, the fact they are made in China tent doesn’t mean they are cheap, at all. inspect each tent rigorously, as to make sure they ship in a perfect state so customers find no problem with them whatsoever.
The Type E Roof Top Tent includes a travel cover made of Heavy-Duty PVC, travel straps, anti condensation mat, mattress with removable cover, telescoping ladder, rainfly, and annex.
The annex can be extended from 6.5 to 7.5 feet, and it comes with a removable floor and a back door that zips all the way up or down, depending on how you see it.
As to the materials, this tent is made of high-grade 420D/260G polyester nylon ripstop, and it is waterproof, mold and mildew proof. The travel cover is one of the thickest and most resistant in the whole market, being 1200D/680G PVC travel cover.
Other features of the RTT see it come with the best quality YKK zippers, side windows with awnings that roll all the way up, a skylight feature with netting to avoid bugs or creatures coming in.
The Type E comes with an anti-condensation 2.5-inch thick foam mattress, which includes a removable and washable cover.
Probably one of the best features of this tent is that it has a Diamond Plate Aluminum Base, heavy-duty cover straps and 16 mm aluminum poles for the skeleton of the RTT. All these are heavy duty and quality features that aren’t easy to find and guarantee something that offers: Limited Lifetime Guarantee. What does that mean? Workmanship is covered for life and that speaks highly about quality.
Despite all the features, the tent is only 130 pounds of weight, but with the annex it goes up to 148 pounds. Still lightweight enough to easily mount it on any racks, and not causing much of a problem in the fuel consumption of your vehicle.
As to the Type E, the E stands for Extended, and that’s due to the extended overhang the Type E has, which covers the ladder, creating a roof like feature if you are standing next to your rig (see image below as an example).
The tent can have an attachment, that you can attach underneath the extended overhang, and it’s actually very spacious, allowing you to use it as a changing room or why not to store some additional luggage or gear.
The quality of his tents is something we have to talk about. Designs truly delivers quality. Not only because of the Limited Lifetime Warranty, but her cares about all the customers, even those who buy through us!
Includes a Spacious Annex
Even without the annex, the extended overhang gives some sort of coverage below the tent。
Cons:
It is a 3-person tent, but more like a 2 adult and a small kid tent.
These are not like Smittybilt or other mainstream tents, that despite serving a purpose, aren’t really for experienced overlanders or those interested in having quality trail adventures.
But，These are top quality tents, fighting their way to the top with or other great manufacturers, doing things that matter: caring about quality.
