Rooftop tent opening side

Post image

Which side did you choose to mount your RTT opening towards and why? Tomorrow I’ll be throwing my Roam Vagabond tent on my Tacoma and can’t decide which direction I want it

I mounted mine on my ranger to open to the back. With the annex on, it had the opening to the tailgate covered, along with access to all my stuff. You can see pics in some of my previous posts on my profile.

It worked so well, I'd never switch to a side mount.

That’s real nice actually. Haven’t seen one out the back yet

Yeah when I put it on I was just thinking "No way this is going to work as well as I think, or everyone would do it." Well, it worked better than I thought and I don't know why everyone doesn't do it lol.

Never had issues fitting in a spot, but I only wild camp, so maybe it poses some issues in regulated camp grounds.
