When deciding whether to buy a rooftop tent, many people look at the obvious: hard or soft shell, price, capacity (2, 3, 4, etc.), brand, etc.
However, many people tend to forget a very necessary feature: the annex.
Your attachment is the locker:
The first and most obvious use is the locker room.
How many times have you gone camping and fretted about changing clothes, underwear, etc. in comfort and privacy?
With the attachment, it can be easily solved.
If your attachments are tall and wide enough, you can easily hang your clothes off a ladder or put them on a tent and remove all your clothes with ease without rushing.
Many annexes have removable floors, which can also help you avoid getting dirt, mud, dust or water on your feet, socks or shoes. The attachment will dry and clean, perfect for changing your clothes.
If you want privacy, it’s as simple as closing all the windows in the annex so no one can see anything from the outside.
Use your accessories as storage:
Another obvious use is that any annex, add-on, or private room (these are some of the many names annexed to), will be able to store bags, gear, and items in it.
Of course, there must be a better way than the other. Personally, we prefer attachments with removable floors simply because they keep things dry at all times.
That said, the moveable room isn’t as easy to set up as expected, and you’ll need to learn how to quickly open or close the zipper or Velcro strip, which takes some practice. On top of that, not all attachments have removable floors because they cost more.
Plus, if you set it up in the right place, and it’s in the dry season, you don’t have to worry too much about the risk of things getting wet even without a floor.
The nice thing about the add-on room is that you don’t have to store everything in the car or take up space in the tent, you can still keep them safely in the annex just in case you need to get something quick.
Accessories for your pet to sleep:
You read that right, the annex is the ideal space for your pet to sleep safely, quietly and comfortably. Especially if the annex rooms have floors, then you know they won’t get dirty or dirty, they’ll sleep in a dry or even warm place inside.
Many people like to take their dogs or other pets with them during overland trips, and they usually like to sleep with their pets. However, if you’re traveling with your family, there won’t always be room in the tent for your pet.
That’s why the attached room works so well, your pet will sleep under you, and you’ll have plenty of room and comfort to stretch your arms and legs in the tent.
in conclusion:
We know that not everyone wants a soft case with accessories, nor can anyone afford it, or just put your priorities on other features.
Nonetheless, we strongly recommend that you purchase a roof tent with attachments.
They are very useful, convenient and a great asset to any camping setup. Of course, they also have drawbacks, which means extra storage space on the go, heavier weight, and longer installation times.
However, if you manage to get over these “hassles”, you will begin to enjoy the great benefits of having an attached room for your rooftop tent.
