Gazelle Tents

[91B/91S]

The wife and I just bought a queen size air mattress for our T4. It fit with room to spare!

Do you have any pics with tent and mattress aired up? I currently use a 6-person tent with queen size mattress and like the room. Curious how much room is left over in the T4 with mattress aired up. Thanks

I do not currently, but would be glad to later this week as it is already dark outside.

UPS just dropped off the Gazelle T4 tent that was the raffle prize we won at the Overland Bound Ozark Rally.

I can’t believe how easy it is to set up. Should be fun. It goes up faster than my ez-up camping cube.

I had a chance this Saturday to try out my new gazelle tent. One of the reasons I picked this tent over a roof top tent is: we always camp/overland with are dog, I don’t have to space nor do I want to leave a tent on my roof all the time, and overall cost.
My other tent is just a Coleman 6 person. But it was time to upgrade. Right off the bat, you can tell the materials are much better than my last tent. It honestly only took about 5 mins to set up and take down. Which is amazing when it used to take almost 30 mins to fit my last tent back into its bag. I was able to fit a queen size blowup mattress with room to spare. Its so tall that even a guy who is 6’2” can stand in it.

The only down side of the gazelle tent is how big the tent is in the the bag. My Tacoma only has a 5 foot bed and the tent is about 5 1/2 feet long in the packaging. So I had to lay the tent at an angle to be able to close my tail gate.

All in all I’m very happy with this tent. And can’t wait to use it again.

WHich one did you get, T4 or T3?

My bad I should have kept reading

The disc-o-bed XL will be in tomorrow so I’ll try to throw up the T3 in the backyard and see if it fits.

If you need more room, Gazelle said the T4 Plus (2 room, 8 person tent) will be back in stock in August.

Dang after seeing the size of your T4 next the the Tacoma - there is no way that is going in a JK hardtop with the doors still attached. That is why I don't have an OZ tent either :(. I guess I could just strap it down to the roof.

Deciding on a tent is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I thought I wanted the gazelle T4 until I found another tent for almost half the price that sets up the same way, has straight walls and 84" height. Looks almost exactly like a gazelle except for the straight wall feature. It is called an Alps Mountaineer and comes in two sizes like the T3-T4 gazelle's. If anyone knows anything about the Alps brand I would appreciate hearing from you.

Need is the mother of invention. Its not heavy so maybe u could tie it sideway across the font or rear bumper if you have the space.

Check out the Alps mountaineer camp 6 tent @ $190 . I think it folds into a package only 3' long. This is the direction I am considering.

I have the T3 and pack it side to side ontop of my wheel wells on my 94yj

Love this tent so easy to set up

Watch the YouTube review of the ALPS Mountaineering Camp Creek 6 Person Tent.

To quote the content creator, “man that was a chore to put together with just one person...”.

And you have to deal with poles. Screw dealing with poles.

The video is not the tent I recommended. That one is junk.

The only con I've experienced with the t4 is the size when collapsed for transport. Currently we are strapping the tent to the maxtrax and crossbars. It’s not ideal but it will work till we get a proper rack. The materials seem to be top quality. We fit 5 no problem and have enough room for our bags.
I paid $195 during a sale.

I fit the T3 across the back of the headrests in my Jeep WJ. That’s why I didn’t go up to the T4.

@Utilityman what speed and distance are you typically traveling with the T4 on top?

@Utilityman what speed and distance are you typically traveling with the T4 on top?

I typically set the cruise to the posted limit. On the hard road around here the speed limits are 50 to 75. As for distance I usually stick to weekend warrior stuff so distances are typically 100ish on hard road and 30-50 on the dirt. Honestly I dont even notice it up there. I was expecting MPG to take a hit but it didn't.

Probably increased your traction on the right side
