JIMNY ROOFTOP TENT // DRIFTA STOCKTON LITE CRUISER ROOFTOP TENT WALKTHROUGH

G'day Team today is the first of a few episode I will be doing on the Drifta 1.2 Lite Cruiser RTT. This time we take a walkthrough, discuss my initial impressions and answer some community questions.

Full discloser this was given to me by Drifta. I also recommend you follow Suzuki's guidelines as per rooftop weight limits.

Great review. Greetings from Scotland. I have an OEX Vertex Lite roof tent which looks identical to this and is 1100 wide. Also the Wildland roof tent looks the same. I had condensation in mine with only me in it and windows open possibly due to temp and heavy dew in morning. Bought a battery fan which I'm sure will cure it. I like the lightness of it and due to the base construction you won't get condensation there as not a solid floor like some RTt"s. My car is si ilar to Golf R estate except a Seat so the lightness helps with long distance and stability. Roofnest are doing a similar design to this too. A wee tip, when you are putting the ladder away the horizontal red sliders at the base overide all the red buttons on the rungs so you only have to slide these in and the whole ladder will collapse. Thanks great review look foward to you using it in the rain like we get in Scotland !

I am here with the thoughts of buying a jimmy and getting a roof top tent. Thank you for the video mate !

[danneave]

Is it common to get the suspension upgraded on a jimny?
Also are the stock roof racks suitable for the drifta lite rooftop tent? Finally how best to limit noise on the roof when driving?

[timellins]

that is EXACTLY the same dune rooftop tent called Nomad 130cm. I have one of those and i can assure you it's the same tent, rebranded and different colours. so funny lol

[georgiaeades]

great review thank you

I had thought the roof weight limit of a jimny wouldn't allow even a RTT as light as this.

Hi from Brisbane:) I am waiting for my Jimny 3 doors, and definitely need a rooftop tent! Thank you for the video! Wondering where I can get one from BNE ?

[richardatkin]

Thanks for the video, people should consider rooftop weights more, even on bigger cars. I've got a prado but 100kg limit incl. weights of bars is still a limitation. Keen to hear more about how you go with this tent, seems like a good lightweight option, easy on the wallet/ budget too.

[frankfisher]

How does the tent affect handling on the road, esp at speed and in windy conditions?

[jeremyharris]

Thanks for sharing this video Tony you’re Roof top tent looks awesome and your Jimny is definitely looking the part. A couple of questions can you leave your pillows and Dunna inside your tent when packing it up ? And are you able to set up inside it ? .

[johanneswehrmann]

I opted for the Alu-Cab LT-50 mate. Coming in at 50kg’s and with a very low profile, I’m hoping to get some joy on top of my Jimny soon. 😁

[alexandercarlsson]

Could you fold it with an extra matress, pillow and quilt still inside?

[VideoShowMeHow]

Looking great mate! Do I spy a certain blue thumbs up on that rear window???

[wheresmytowel-tegz]

Quality stuff Tony. I've always been a tent/swag camper and haven't had anything to do with rooftop campers.
My Jimny is also my daily driver/work vehicle so I'm not interested in carting everything around every day and being mindful of carpark clearances etc.
What's involved in mounting unmounting it?

[marianamartins]

Looks awesome!!
How do you reckon a stock Jimny would do with that tent on top? Was thinking I could just keep the ladder insider the car to further reduce the weight

[darrenmoore]

Good stuff Tony, love your content mate.

[bjgtrev]

Have had the desert cruiser style for a couple of years now and it’s been excellent. Only downside is that you can’t leave a lot up there. But apart from that they are well built for the price.

[coolstar]

Does the entry way door roll up at the top or bottom of the entry

[JulesTuffrey]

Nice vid Tony, what roof racks are you now using?

[fracazo]

Would love to see another review now that you used it for a while.

[stevencondron]

Gee that looks like dunes an Ironman does one too ; I no dunes tent weights 38 kg too without the ladder - 45 kg all up
