This could have come in handy tonight as I walked the T4 through the house from the garage to the backyard for a backyard camp with my 3 year old. Hit the wall with the end and put a nice dent in the sheet rock. Whoops.
Had really nice weather, humidity wasn't quite as high and the rain held off until after we left. Don't have any more data on condensation in the cold as it only got down to the low-mid 50s.

Not a queen size, but I use this in my T3 and I have room to spare.
Cheers mate, Looking at their website, I would probably go with the T4 just for the extra room, piece of mind and all that.
Overall footprint and pack size are not all that different. In my opinion the T4 is worth having a little extra space.
I've got the T4 +, Queen fits nicely in the back room.

I'm jealously waiting to buy one. Will pull the trigger soon. Need a rear bumper more right now
so will probably be 6-8 months down the road. For now I'll sleep in my rig.
They go on a flash sale often. I grabbed min for 33% off. This was a HUGE step up for me. Normally, I'm a hammock hiker. I'm just now getting into overlanding. I kind of went overboard on weight thinking a WJ was limitless compared to my back, lol. After blowing out a bump stop, I'm spread sheeting my setup for weight savings like I was hiking the AT. Seems weight is always a consideration...

Too costly in the US. If I could afford it I would buy it though, I do like it.

They have been priced at $279 for awhile now. They were over $300 several months back. OB store has had them @ $279 for the last year but I think you have to pay shipping where amazon it is free on prime.
You got it right. Amazon charges tax though. So, it basically washes. I went with the *edit* Gazelle site because it came out $12 cheaper even with shipping. In hindsight, I should have just gone with Amazon. It would have arrived faster.

I purchased my T3 from the OB store a tad over a year ago. Smooth transaction and supports this site. I preferred the T4 but it would not fit inside my TJ. The T3 fits perfectly across the rear wheel wells and it’s an improvement over the cot tent in terms of comfort with the ability to sit/stand (not fully upright for 6’1”). I can bring my camp chair (Helinox Sunset) inside to sit and change clothes or read if raining.
