Hello: QQ: how is that roof top tent working for you ?I'm still shopping for my own.. any pros/ cons will help.
I had the Arb tent prior to this one. So in comparison to the Arb, the set up of the Autohome is way easier. I had to fold up the Arb simpson tent in the snow while it was perched above the cab of the truck and found it most difficult. The Autohome packing away in the snow, easy peasy.
The comfort of the Autohome is much more comfortable with the 3 1/2 inch mattress. The Arb has more head room and leg room. It was difficult changing in the Autohome due to lack of head room. The Autohome has storage pouches, a overhead net, and led lighting, the Arb.....nope.
So to sum it up the Autohome is far superior for my type of camping and is more aerodynamic than the Arb and is of much better quality and comfort with some sacrifice of space.

Yeah, I bring a lot, as I near senior citizenship, I tend to bring more :D
Plus I have a lot of new gear this year I am going to try out, so no doubt I will weed back a bit next time.
And that chuckbox takes up a lotta room, I am thinking about getting a custom one built over the winter that is made out of aluminum, and smaller.
The dimensions on this one could be cut down some.
Plus I am hauling enough gear for two people for my upcoming vacation.



Alubox pantry on the bottom, my Bad Bag duffle bag (we will cram hers somewhere), camera backpack, tripod & case, and Outback Porta-Privy.
I have the Nemo Heliopolis, but I did not have good luck trying to set it up yesterday, but I am going to pack it anyways, and maybe with more room out in the wild, we can get it setup.
Also hard to see are two Eezi-Awn K9 medium stainless steel camping tables strapped to the side of the fridge.
Best tables I have ran across so far.



Great American Camp Chair in the bottom green bag, Coleman lantern stand, maroon stuff sack for the footmat that goes under the roof top tents ladder, and the Katanaboy saw for firewood.
The chuckbox, Renogy 100 watt solar panel, Blue Ridge Chair Works chair, Big Kahuna 12v shower, and 7 gallon water container.



National Luna Weekender 50 fridge/freezer (stays in the rig full time), kind of buried to the left of the fridge are two Aluboxes, one for Goal Zero LED lanterns, two propane lanterns, and the bigger Alubox on the bottom has towels, tent stakes, several Coleman propane cylinders, and other misc. stuff.
Also the Pett toilet and cedar stand you stand on in the shower is in the black case on top of the Alubox.



Another view form the previous picture.
Hmm. Corey, From Washington, with an FJ Cruiser.
Your not by any chance the Corey on the PRS Forum are you?

Everything including the kitchen sink! This dogs breakfast is why we got a off road camping trailer with tent.

Packed for a three day trip of tent camping in North Georgia last fall. The back seat was packed with two sleeping bags and extra blankets. If we needed to we could have used another tote and fit 4 people comfortably.

This was 0 dark thirty the morning we left.

I think it's easy to get spoiled having an F150 sized truck. I see how carefully everyone else packed their SUVs, I don't know if I could do it.

It becomes a game of it after awhile.
I'm constantly reorganizing stuff around the house. Anything from range bags, the safe, storage area or tackle boxes.
I've even offered to help others do theirs when I get hit with bad cabin fever.
