I have been researching the Open Sky rooftop tent for our Cape trip next year. We really like the complete setup of rooftop tent, tent skirt awning and mesh walls. Total price for that setup is $2,500. Great value.
Here is a pdf brochure on the awning if you have not seen it.

I think they are the best that I have seen and will probably buy the awning even if we dont buy a rooftop tent.LES

Yes Kel, I got my awning back from Paul and its here if you want to see it. I will probably go for the above package, its perfect for what we have in store over the next 2 or 3 years. The awning I have at the moment wont fit once we have the rofftop.Originally posted by wengnuts

I have also looked at those roof top tents. There are great in calm weather but beware when the wind picks up. The tent is very vunerable to strong winds up there on the roof. Just something to consider.Comment

I saw a simillar one set up at the local TJM and ARB shop the other day.2004 3.0L TD GXL manual, Bilstein & Lovell springs 2inch lift, PolyAir Bags in rear, Piranha Dual Battery tray, Baintech Battery Isolator, Toyota Electronic Rust Protection, Sovereign Bull BarComment

During your research MT, did you check to see if the Prado door will fully open with the tent ladder down and skirt on?
Probably not a big issue if it didn't, so long as you had enough room to reach into the fridge for a late night beverage or snack.

The rear door will almost fully open with the ladder down. There would be only a few inches in it though. I wouldn't be too interested in the skirt on most trips (with our 4wd club) as the awning would serve most purposes. We look at the rooftop as something that would be opened when nightfall isnt far off. In other words, the awning would be where we would be most of the time. Our camper trailer is serving us well at the moment, but the rooftopper gives another angle to camping again.LES

It has been mentioned before but we have just the awning for 400. Great value. Only need ropes when at the beach. Love it, wouldn't be without it!Comment
