JOYTUTUS SUV Tent for Camping with Rainfly Double Door Design Car Tent with Aluminum Poles SUV Tailgate Tent

Leading edge tent. Surpasses all SUV tents capabilities by FAR, freestanding so I can drive away and tent remains standing YES! Huge windows on all sides with huge mesh openings for fantastic views. 2 awnings at doors, came in handy for 2 rainstorms depending on which way the wind was blowing determinedwhich door to use to avoid blustery rain, because tent remained clean and dry since we used the best door for rain angle. Fully enclosed zipped lining over ALL mesh to keep dust out in the summer desert is IMPERATIVE functionality that is skipped with competitors yet is very important, and also means that this can be used in cooler temperatures, definitely a 3 season tent and probably a 4 season tent. Waterproofing was fine through 2 rainstorms on first camping trip, 4-6" bathtub was, as expected, more durable than rest of material and stayed waterproof. The entire tent remained waterproof, and I can update this after a year. NONE of the other SUV tents have as many doors as this, 1 SUV door and 2 side doors. The best competition only has 1 extra door, and if the rain is blowing towards that one door, even if it has an awning, the tent floor will get wetter and messier when entering the tent. 6 tall people can stand up inside this fantastic tent, WOW! EASY set up for 1 person, but I'm experienced. Wish it had more clips instead of fabric sleeves, perhaps in newer iterations? Elastic fit well enough around vehicle but didn't trust near hot muffler and I drove away everyday, so I only attached elastic awning to vehicle twice. It was a fantastic SUV attachment because it also had a screen to the vehicle so I could 100% know bugs weren't getting in tent portion, and it probably kept 99% of the bugs out of the vehicle. This first trip was not with an SUV but with a Prius Prime, and it kept the rain out of the car fairly well for easy access to the car in the rain, but I detached them and fully zipped up the tent to sleep through the rainstorm overnight inside the tent to be safe. So my Toyota Sienna will fit even better, and I'll update this review after I camp with it and the Sienna. The wind didn't flap the elastic unnatached to the vehicle too badly because I was able to stake it down, and the material isn't too loud when rustling in the wind. The elastic pooled some water but I shook it off and it dried quickly. Huge windows on all sides capture breeze from any direction, well done Joy Tutus!!!!!! Improvements: 1) Bag is pretty roomy, but still doesn't zip shut when repacked bone dry, could be made bigger. Perhaps the material expanded in the 1st 2 rainstorms on 1st trip? 2) Orange tie downs were excellent but fade to yellow on 1st week-long camping trip with 2 rainstorms. They were still orange at top of string, which was also exposed to rainwater, but perhaps more quick drying at top? Functionality the tie downs are modern quick and versatile so I don't care about the fading, but it's strange in parachute cord. 3) Add zip on attachment vestibule with floors to create a condo of linked tents where we can keep our feet clean when visiting linked friends in a rainstorm wearing socks, who also have this exact same tent. Also add an open sided covered awning between the 2 for cooking. This would be a game changer! Please stay a leader of the pack Joy Tutus by improving this tent!!! Many thanks to you for being a leader in providing an Optimal fun useful tent!!! Read more

This tent set up so easy with just the 3 poles. I do suggest laying a tarp underneath to resist moisture. There is plenty of cross ventilation tho it also held in heat well on one of the cooler nights. It was easy to take down as well and just as easy to roll up and fit into the carry bag. I took away 1/2 star because the zippers kept getting stuck on the zipper covers along the bottom of the doors. May not have been as big of an issue if they didn't have the velcro. I took the other 1/2 star away due to not being able to line up the vehicle with the tent opening well. Our 1st weekend we put the tent up and then brought it to the van to be attached. We ended up having to move the van and try to realign it a couple times, but still ended up with a gap in the left side big enough that we had to stuff some extra blankets in to prevent bugs from entering. Our 2nd weekend we backed the van right up to the tent, strapped it and it was perfect for the entire time. Go figure. Possibly operator error the 1st time. 1st weekend was just 2 of us. We slept in the back of the van so there was plenty of space in the tent to stand up for dressing, room for our belongings and the dog crate. The 2nd weekend we had the 2 grandkids (9 & 5 yrs) sleep in the back of the van. We fit 2 cots side by side in the tent along with some belongings and a small space to stand up for dressing. No dog this trip. Read more

TLDR: Worth the money. Easy to set up. Extremely roomy. A few flaws to consider. Still well worth it and I highly recommend it. Better than I expected. I was really surprised how great this tent is. It states SUV, but it worked very well with my Tesla Model 3. Set up was actually quite easy. I put it up solo, but an extra pair of hands will definitely make it that much easier. It took me less than 5 minutes to have it up. Lining it up to my Tesla was just as easy and took even less time. Easy to zip closed and with all net windows up, there is no way bugs, insect, or critters will get in. You want roominess? This tent has plenty of it! Sure, I stand at a mere 5’5” tall, but the tent is very tall and can easily accommodate a person up to 7’ tall to stand straight at center. Floor footprint is very generous and my wife and I had plenty of room for sleeping and our extra gear inside with no issues. Now for the negatives I would like to address: FIRST is that there isn’t some type of hook at the center to hang a camping light. We ended up using the two storage pouches to place the tent light in. Which it worked, but the light spread was not optimal. SECOND, there is no extension cord access port. I had to run my extension cord through one of the doors and sandwich it between the zippers. LASTLY how the tent connects to the vehicle. There will be a gap on the top and sides of the tent that will allow wind to get through. You can see the gaps in the 3/4 view photos. We used the tent in clear weather, but I would not use this tent hooked up to the vehicle during inclement weather. Water intrusion will definitely occur in the car and tent. As I tried to figure out how to get the best seal, a few (4 or 6) large clamps with rubber sleeves would probably work, by pulling the loose flap in and clamping it against the trunk cavity frame. I still give it a solid 5 stars. Highly recommended. Read more

Fairly easy to set up if you’ve set up a tent before. Lots of room and worked great. Has held up for a couple of trips so far. Read more
