The Jeep Tent from Mopar

[Borgs]

When I went looking for a tent that attaches to back of jeep there were a few options available, one of which was from the Mopar accessory catalog. I tried to google what was different or special about the mopar one but couldnt find anything. The price was average across different brands so I went with the Mopar one thinking maybe it might have some Jeep logos on it or something. It arrived a few weeks ago and set it up this weekend, turns out its just a Napier one. Its a good tent, easy to set up, compact and overall happy with purchase. I made a video to show others what you get when you order part # 82209878.

Is it easy enough to pull away and back up into opening?

I would think so, I have not tried it but the tent unhooks from jeep, very easy and quick with the hole zipping closed. With the assistance of the back up camera one could easily park and reconnect with ease.

It will be interesting to see if water gets in via the hard top drip rail that now extends further to the back than on the JK. You can see the rail as a conduit at about 3:22 of your video.

I was wondering the same thing. Almost looks like you'd want to park with the back wheels on top of something to elevate the rear a bit so if it does rain you have the water running towards the front. Edited to add: But it does seem like a nice tent!

Any problems with this tent leaking from rain? Not from the drip rails of the jeep but from the seams of the tent itself?

I like the 2 entry doors, and the awning over the main entrance. Some soft strip caulk could be used to dam up the ends of the drip rails when set up... Thanks for sharing this

And when its cold you can turn on the jeep for heat...
It is a budget option for "Overlanding" for sure. Way cheaper than an RTT.
Nice review!

Do they make a 3.5" lift kit for them?
