When camping, it is crucial to have a comfortable and convenient resting place, and a rooftop tent can meet this requirement.

There are many types of rooftop tents, and the most popular one is the hard-shell rooftop tent. In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of hard-shell tents.

Advantages of hard-shell tents

Convenient to use

The advantage of hard-shell tents is that they are easy to set up. Through the hydraulic pole of the tent, they can be easily opened and used, reducing the cumbersome operation of using tents on land.

If you need to change the location, you can immediately fold it up and set off.

Durable and long life

The shell of the hard-shell roof tent is made of sturdy materials that can withstand bad weather, such as heavy rain and strong sunshine.

Spacious space

When opened, the hard-shell roof tent can provide a spacious sleeping space. The tent is generally equipped with a mattress, which is usually enough to accommodate two to three people.

Compared with soft-shell tents, hard-shell tents have good insulation and can provide a comfortable sleeping environment.

Versatility

Hard-shell rooftop tents are suitable for a variety of vehicles and can be connected and installed with many vehicles. For campers who love camping, hard-shell tents are an excellent choice.

Disadvantages of hard-shell rooftop tents

Increased wind resistance

After installing a hard-shell rooftop tent, wind resistance will increase, resulting in some increased fuel consumption.

Expensive

Compared with ordinary tents, hard-shell rooftop tents are usually more expensive. However, many campers still choose hard-shell rooftop tents because of their durability and practicality.

There are rooftop tents with uneven quality and too high prices on the market, so you need to understand clearly before buying.

Weight

The weight of a rooftop tent is usually around 60 kg-80 kg. The materials used for tents of different weights are also different. Therefore, you need to consider different rooftop tents according to the load-bearing capacity and purpose of the vehicle.

Not suitable for long-term living

Although hard-shell rooftop tents provide a comfortable sleeping space, they are not suitable for long-term continuous use due to limited space and relatively simple ventilation systems.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of hard shell roof tents. You can choose the roof tent suitable for your vehicle according to your needs.
