If I could, I would give this tent 20 stars! It is very well made, comfortable sleeping, very roomy, fit our van perfectly, easy to put up and amazingly water resistant. We took it on its maiden voyage this weekend - no rain was predicted, but true to Michigan - it did anyway - torrential rain at 4:30 am. Shockingly the only water that came in was from the channels that run from front to back on the roof of the van and then ran down the inside of the doorframe to the bumper. Our son was in the tent portion and stayed completely dry. Not even any leaking through the sleeve. My only suggestion is that all 4 sides would have a door giving an option to enter on each side since there was a tree right outside so we weren’t able to fully extend the overhang of the rain fly. This was not a deal breaker since we went in and out through the screen porch. Next time we’ll flip the fly to protect the window for when it rains. Attaching was pretty easy, once we studied how it was supposed to work - the instructions weren’t the best, but we were able to figure it out easily. Photos show how it worked for us. Read more
I have a 2018 Jeep grand cherokee. It worked great for my 2 day camping trip that included myself and 3 others. It seems to have held up well. I really like the screen room and we used it as a entry to the tent to cut down on bugs coming in. The awning/rain cover is pretty flimsy but seems to do the job. I would have liked more pockets around the walls. It sealed around the opened back hatch of my jeep really well! Set up only takes like 20 minutes and teardown is easy! I even had other campers walk by and comment on this tent.... even asked if the could take a pic to send to their kid. Read more
Expectations & Setup Experience Purchased the blue TIMBER RIDGE 5-9 Person SUV Tent in November 2024 to extend camping space by connecting it to my Jeep Wrangler. I wanted versatility, straightforward assembly, and a secure Jeep seal. Performance Evaluation The tent is roomy, easy to assemble, and well-designed for family camping. Multiple doors, ventilation, and a heater-compatible opening are great. However, the connection to my Jeep doesn’t seal fully, leaving gaps that could let critters in. Because of this, I stopped using the attachment feature, though the tent itself still works well independently. Comparison to Product Description Most claims—roominess, weather resistance, flexible access—hold true. The Jeep sealing feature, however, isn’t as reliable as advertised for Wranglers. Actionable Takeaways Great for camping with groups and families; offers plenty of space and useful features. If you rely on a sealed vehicle connection, be prepared for possible gaps and consider extra sealing solutions. Pros: Roomy and well-ventilated Multiple doors and coverage options Opening for heater use Straightforward assembly Cons: Jeep attachment doesn’t seal tightly Setup takes longer than pop-up tents Concerns about critters entering when attached to a Jeep Final Verdict: Excellent value and features for family camping, but Jeep attachment could be improved. Suitable for most, with caution for those wanting a perfect vehicle seal. Read more

This tent came with instructions! Amazing! Even more amazing, it came with a flap for an A/C duct that they didn't advertise in the description. It was easy to put up with two people, fit completely around the tailgate and cap's glass door. We put it up in "feels like 99 degrees" weather, and it was very warm inside with no breeze blowing. The tent area itself is spacious inside, and though I don't have a photo with the cover on it, the cover was easy enough with two people. We didn't stake it down since it was just a dry fit this time, but the stakes that come with it were much better than you usually get. I highly recommend this tent so far, and since the quality is so good I don't expect that to change. Read more
gonna say this is super cool, works great. not a single skeeder. I put an air matress in my SUV great for a "common area" or changing room/ privacy. just make sure you have car window shades for ALL windows. Dont set this up for the first time in the middle of the night though... Read more
Absolutely love this tent. I use it with my 2009 Subaru Forrester. We were wanting to get back into camping and the amount of space this provides is unreal! Last time we went out it started raining and we brought our small table and chairs inside and were able to play board games while the rain came down. All while our dog stayed curled up sleeping in the back of the car. This has been a game changer. With two people it takes about 20 minutes to set up. I love the extra porch area as well as having two doors/openings is really nice, especially if you aren’t positive what kind of camp set up you will have available. It’s also really easy to detach from the car if you want to leave the tent in place but take the car to go somewhere. It stayed warm and dry even before waterproofing. Absolutely an excellent value!

The tent is great. Roomy inside and the screened in vestibule is perfect. It is not easy to put up and as instructions say, it needs two people to do it. Therfore, it is of no use to me when I camp alone. Which I often do. Read more
