When You're Looking For The Ultimate In Convenience, Security, And Comfort, Look No Further Than The Smittybilt Overlander Rooftop Tent!

OutdoorGearLab

If you are hoping for a more affordable rooftop option, the Smittybilt Overlander is a great choice. It is one of the most spacious and comfortable tents we have used and has enough overhead space to allow campers to easily change clothes or comfortably sit up and enjoy the view from one of its many windows. Included perks like an LED light strip and hanging boot bag on the outside of the tent make it more livable and pleasant to use for longer trips. The ladder is extra wide and feels sturdy when bringing gear, kids, or pets up to roof level for the night. And don't let the lower price tag fool you into questioning the quality of this tent. The Overlander is built with durable 600D polyurethane material to weather gnarly storms.
The lower price tag is likely due to a do-it-yourself assembly and installation. The initial installation of this Smittybilt is more complicated than average. The tent itself is pretty heavy, and it only comes with a very basic tool kit. Most of the components come unassembled, and the whole thing just takes more time to complete. Once you have the tent properly mounted, converting it from travel mode to camping mode also takes longer than average, although luckily, it is not too difficult. Our final gripe with this tent is that there is no convenient place to store the travel cover. It removes completely from the tent, which means you must find a place to fold and store it instead of rolling it up and letting it hang from the side of the tent as in other models. However, if you are prepared to devote a little more time to set up and tear down on each trip, the Smittybilt Overlander is an excellent way to adventure on a tighter budget.

Though the Smittybilt Overlander is a more moderaly priced option for those on a budget, but it still comes with several included extras. It arrives with a very cool LED light system that includes 12-volt extension cords that go all the way from the tent to your 12-volt cigarette lighter or an external USB battery pack. Another added feature is the included rubber boot bag that hangs outside of the tent, which is very convenient in poor weather conditions. It also has the widest, sturdy ladder of any tent we tested.
These perks aside, the Smittybilt does have a few weaknesses. It's cumbersome &mdash; weighing in at 144 pounds, it is substantially heavier than many of the tents we tested. You also may need to drill holes to get your ladder in the proper location, depending on the height of your vehicle's rooftop. Drilling metal isn't the easiest task to take on, even if you have the correct tools, and taking power tools to a brand new product is a bit unnerving. Also, the cover must be removed entirely to convert the tent from travel mode to camping mode. With all of the other models in this lineup, the cover either rolled up or was able to be tucked out of the way. Still, while this tent might require a bit more effort, it will save you a sizeable amount of money and still perform at a very respectable level.

 Today we're going to be talking about rooftop tents and more specifically the Smittybelt Overlander XL. There are so many tent options from swags to ground tents, even sleeping in a hammock when you're going out and camping and overlanding, but nothing really is as comfortable in my opinion as a rooftop tent. Rooftop tents give you a nice flat surface to sleep on. Many of them come with a foam mattress, high-density foam mattress inside and the Smittybelt Overlander XL is perfect for us in our size family

 Just depends on your setup and how much you're opening up or not. The Smittybelt Overlander XL is a budget-friendly tent. Well, I say budget-friendly. It all depends on the budget that you have, right? So you can opt for a hammock or a ground tent

 So that is a downfall to me. The next downfall is the retractable aluminum ladder. This thing is horrible. Now they have come out with a new telescopic ladder, which is so much better, but this one on this tent is ridiculous

 We'll start with what I like. I love that it's a rooftop tent. I don't have to worry about sleeping on the hard, uneven ground, worrying about sleeping pads, sleeping bags and animals, insects, all that kind of stuff. Being able to sleep up high on a flat, comfortable surface with a five-inch mattress is super, super nice

 This thing is horrible. Now they have come out with a new telescopic ladder, which is so much better, but this one on this tent is ridiculous. It gets stuck all the time, the pins get stuck, dirt gets in the track, and at the very top when you come out, the top of the ladder, we had to wrap it in tape because it was rough, sharp metal around the edge, and so we would come out, we would scrape up our legs coming out of the tent. That is not good

Smittybilt Overlander XL - Long-Term Overland RTT Review

 I mean it is a tent, acts like a tent. Kept me dry. It is a bit of a pain to set up when it is on the roof because the cover is very secure. I was able to get it set up by myself but I am not sure every person could do it solo

 It is a bit of a pain to set up when it is on the roof because the cover is very secure. I was able to get it set up by myself but I am not sure every person could do it solo. Folding the tent up and putting the cover on takes some time. The tent kind of spills out all over when you fold it up

Hard to install on a 2007 4Runner with factory roof racks

 What we did to fix that was we actually have a two inch memory foam pad that we got on Amazon that we throw on top of this. It's not in here right now because it doesn't come with the tent. I'm just kind of covering what you actually are going to get when you get the tent but it helped out tremendously. Another negative I had to pick one would be that this canopy pole that runs up to support this outer canopy over the ladder is not very heavy duty

 Welcome to Sketchy Jeeps. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Overlander XL Rooftop 10 from Smittybilt. It's had this tent for just over a year now and so far we've had it to about six off-road parks and we've used it just about every other month for the past year. So we've got some seat time in it as of now

 I'm just kind of covering what you actually are going to get when you get the tent but it helped out tremendously. Another negative I had to pick one would be that this canopy pole that runs up to support this outer canopy over the ladder is not very heavy duty. Here is the veranda support pole is what Smittybilt calls it. Essentially it's just a cheap flimsy piece of aluminum that supports the canopy area over the ladder

Smittybilt Overlander XL Tent Review (1 year in). worth buying?

Great starter tent, not so great longevity

 Ž Ž Ž Ž Ž Ž Ž Ž So, let's talk about the cons of the Overlander XL tent, and really and truly, I only have two cons of this tent, and one being the installation, actually installing it, getting it on top of your six-foot or taller truck or jeep, it's going to be kind of tough, because this thing does weigh 140 pounds, and it is awkward, it's really big, so if you can't get your arms out big enough to lift it up and put it up there, it's going to be kind of hard to get it up there. I did it by myself, but I do not recommend it, it was really tough for me, so I do recommend, I mean, even if you have to get four people to help you get it up there, I don't like to set it up against it and push it up there, I just want to set it up there, don't want to scratch, damaging anything, but once you get it up there, it is relatively easy to install after that. Now, that said, I actually came up with this pulley system right here, I built a little cage around my jeep so I can drop the tent onto it and take it off really simple like, so you might want to think about building something like that if you're going to own this tent. And the only other problem I do have with this tent is that when you're jamming down the freeway, you have a big block on top of your jeep, so that means there's going to be a lot of wind noise, a lot of wind noise, and it's going to take a little bit of miles per gallon off of your jeep or truck too, so make sure you think about that before you get it

 If you were looking for a lot of room, get the XL version and not the regular one. Now, setup for this is a breeze. Not only is it easy, but it doesn't take long at all. In this video, it'll show you that I do it in like 20 minutes, but I was taking my time

 What's going on guys and welcome to Saks Overlanding and today we're going to be talking about the Overlander XL tent from Smittybilt, that thing right there, so let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it

 I'm just going to relax. As long as it takes me, that's how long it's going to take me. I can cut this setup time probably down in 10 minutes, and that's just doing it by myself. Now, if I have somebody with me, it'll go even quicker, but the setup and how easy it is to set up is just great

Overlander XL Gen 2 Roof Top Tent Review

  Setting up is easy: Remove the cover which has hook and loop to secure it, undo the hook and loop straps that hold the tent together, all six of them, loosen the double D strap that secures the ladder, pull the ladder out to use as a lever and pop the tent up. Adjust the ladder so it is stable on the ground, there are spring loaded pegs that lock into holes in the frame of the ladders, and insert the poles that hold open the awnings.  We found a few problems with the above mentioned straps. Right out of the box we had to repair one of the straps as the thread was pulling free

 With the rainfly removed this gives real ventilation and a view of the stars. We used it with the rainfly attached and the roof open with the screen in place for great ventilation. The tent never felt ‘stuffy’ even when we had everything closed up during a rainy night.  Two things about the rainfly

 Again, the material of the tent itself should be enough ward off up to a moderate rain. Having slept in wet tents before, I don’t really care to find out.  Setting up is easy: Remove the cover which has hook and loop to secure it, undo the hook and loop straps that hold the tent together, all six of them, loosen the double D strap that secures the ladder, pull the ladder out to use as a lever and pop the tent up. Adjust the ladder so it is stable on the ground, there are spring loaded pegs that lock into holes in the frame of the ladders, and insert the poles that hold open the awnings

 Even if we still had the plastic rails on our Jeep the low weight of the tent would have not exceeded the recommended weight.  At the below $900 price tag I feel that the price overcame the drawbacks. I have written Smittybilt to see what they will do about the cover. It will be interesting to see about their customer service

 As I mentioned, we had to repair one strap right right away and I have a feeling it won’t be the last one. The material and the stitching just don’t feel that strong. The cover is the other weak point. On our sixth night out I found the stitching on one of the corners giving way

Smittybilt Overlander tent review

 So that's why we went with the lashing straps. And we will put a link to them in the description below. Another item on the tent that will eventually wear out are the compression straps. There are four of them, two on each end

 This is the cover for the rooftop tent. We haven't had any trouble with wearing spots or tears or rips anywhere on the cover so far. It's made of a very thick material that has a woven component to it, so it's very well made. Also, underneath the inside edge is Velcro

 Is there a way to purchase replacement parts for it? Things like a new rain fly, travel cover, and flex poles that hold up the window and the door awnings. Smittybilt responded fairly quickly, saying, hello, yes, we have replacement parts for our tents. So I don't know how you're supposed to get them. I would suppose that you would contact a Smittybilt dealer or contact Smittybilt directly and arrange it

1 Year Review Smittybilt Overlander Roof Top Tent

Nice tent for the money.
