its a Napier backroads tent that attaches to the back of the jeep. I had already built a platform in the back of the jeep to sleep on but thought this would be a plus to have, and well I sent it back after this trip. it was just too time consuming setting it up and attaching it by myself. its also a tent and was very noisy at night and I must have giant ears cuz I hear everything and anything lol including 1 night where I was awoken by a mouse that got stuck underneath the tent and I had to get out of the jeep at 3am and lift up the tent enough where I was able to grab him/her and carefully send him/her the other direction and so I think I'll stick to just keeping it simple on my platform.
I meant to add in my original post that my base jeepy did very well in 4wd on the rougher trails. I didn't get any of them on camera cuz everything in the jeep was flying around as u can imagine lol.
I averaged 24-25 mpg for the couple hundred mile trip for those curious which is right inline with my other long trips. Im hoping to get an aux fuel tank so I can have a 1000 mile range.
Thanks. I’m set up to sleep in the Jeep too, and I’ll just stay that way, I reckon. I just mostly use my backpacking gear, plus a cooler (ARB Fridge arriving Wednesday!). I like simple. If you find the tent a hassle, I’m sure I would too.its a Napier backroads tent that attaches to the back of the jeep.
