Normally a Roof Top Tent does not work for my wife and I. We have a big dog that sleeps with us, and we both have joint issues that do not allow a RTT to work for us. However, we are wanting to do a trip with my daughter (30 years old) and her small dog.
I have a ground tent and all the needed stuff to go with it, but was thinking for the type of trip we want to do a RTT would be nice for her to sleep in. However, to buy a RTT for one trip is foolish and stupid.
Is there any companies renting RTTs? Any private parties that rent them?
If there is not, there should be. It seems like a perfect opportunity for someone to make some money renting to Overlanders that want to try out before they buy, or like me, that only need it for that one time, or even one time a year.
EDIT: On second thought, this might not work for us. I found that there is indeed a place in the Seattle area (2.5 hour drive for us) that does rent them. However, between the added gas and the rental costs, this would be a very expensive option. it would be over $800 for 1 week. That is getting close to the price of a cheap RTT that could be sold at a loss after the trip and still be cheaper.
Oh well, that ground tent is looking a lot better.
