Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
If money is no object, then consider the James Baroud tents. Easy set up’ light weight, and good enough to pass on to your grandkids. James Baroud Evasion Rooftop Tent
Another RTT to strongly consider would be the Roofnest.

As a kid we had to hike to campsites. Usually at least a few hours to get there from trailhead. You ate what you carry in your backpack. Individual boxes of cereal, powered milk, canned foods, MREs, etc. There was a mountain steam at my favorite that was clean we could use as a water source.
Love this! Back then, adventure was simple—no fancy gear, just grit. I remember camping with a $20 tent and hitchhiking to trails. Today, we’re sold ‘must-have’ gear, but the spirit’s the same. Let’s rediscover low-cost, high-reward trips. Share your throwback adventures!

...about this set up is the fact that the crossbars attach directly to the rollbars and gives the RTT a very solid platform (plus the weight of the tent distributes evenly across the body of the vehicle). They also have a "click-in" tent bracket option which offers a quick interlocking/ release...
Going into debt for overlanding? ::laughs in old beater vehicle::
Ganbaru, a 1999 Honda CR-V I bought for $1800CAD, and Rumble, a 2006 Dodge Dakota 4x4 that cost me $4200CAD. Both took me on amazing adventures, and Rumble is waiting for his next run. Virtually every overland accessory on both...

Honestly it's a great spot for a set-up and stay for a couple nights. Plenty to explore, definitely recommend a rug or something to take your shoes off on before getting into the tent, it's not really sand but not really mud. Oh and bring your swimsuits!

...solo, I just keep them on 30' steel cables.
One of my best memories was camping with my dad, and waking up to 2 feet of snow when opening the tent. I often try to do that when possible. Drive somewhere in the night, setup a quick camp, and time it so it's snowing the next day.

...very slow. Eventually got a Porsche engine that helped lol.
There was no fancy camping gear at that time, or at least we didn't have it.
