Full Tent Review
This Carbonlite Rooftop tent is amazing. The build quality is great. Set up and pack up quickly. On my Prinsu Pro roofrack, im able to still get in my garage with a couple of inches to spare. Shipping was quick and it came in perfect condition with no damage. It was packed very well. Very happy with this purchase. Thank you.
Great RTT! I’m 6ft, 195lbs and I fit fine in this tent. hybrid airmattress is comfy, I ended up finding a stretchy sheet to go over it to keep clean and prevent from sliding around.
I haven't even put it on the vehicle yet, so I can't speak to it's durability and functionality, but it certainly looks sharp and the materials seem durable and of high quality. Ordering via the website was a breeze after downing a Modelo for liquid courage to place an expensive online order.
I received an email from the shipping company saying they would follow up with me with a shipping number for the order, but they never did so. I was about to reach out to them about it the day the tent arrived though, so it was a pretty quick turnaround time that left me impressed for such a large item. (Ordered on 1/3 and received on 1/22). The lack of promised communication is about the only reason for 4 stars vs 5 at this point, but I definitely get that IO can only control so many aspects on that front.
The box that the tent came in is some thick, double walled cardboard, so even though there was a good tear in the outer shell of the cardboard, when I opened everything up it was all in perfect condition.
The last thing I will say having not used the tent yet, is that the folks at IO seem like they care about customer service quite a bit. My fun money funds aren't unlimited, so I had a lot of questions before ordering, and spent some time trading emails and making phone calls, and they were always extremely helpful and friendly in correspondance. I am now part of a Facebook group of IO tent owners and interested parties, and the company is very helpful and communicative on that platform as well. It gives me comfort to know that I can always reach out for help or questions when I think about a larger investment like this.
I've got a goal of 20+ nights in this tent for 2025 and hope to give an updated review in a year's time, but for now I am one happy and excited customer!
This is a great tent, super lightweight fitstwo adults good, you can even put a 60lbs dog and still comfy. I would recommend this for sure. The buying experience was a piece of cake. Thank inspired overland.
