James Baroud hard shell rooftop tents...

Hi Dalb,

Very happy with mine quality is top notch, comfy and seals well from dust. Overall it's the best I have come across in hard shell roof top tents, had it on the roof now for just over 1.5 yrs and after a good wash still looks like new.

Good luck my friend,
Stamps

I own a similar but different roof tent and would say the only downside to them is you have no cover when entering or exiting the tent. You also require a side awning to have any cover at all. Otherwise they are excellent.

Hi Dalb,

Has your friend thought about sleeping in his Troopy and using the top of the vehicle for "stuff"? Much warmer and more comfortable that way and there is enough space in a Troopy to do so. Have a look at our Troopy set-up in this link here. We have been travelling like this for over a decade now; wish we had a dollar for everyone who has come up for a look at what we have done!
Apart from the lack of cover to enter or exit a RTT, the climb up a ladder looks less inviting
with every passing year.

Cheers,

Val

Hi Dalb,
I have the Espace model and can't speak highly enough of it. It is an item of exceptional quality and practicality. If you look at the gallery on their website, you will see a folder of images titled, "Brett's photos" or similar. This contains some photos of mine in action last year. Some of the images have been used by them in their print advertising, but I stress I have no commercial connection with them. I am just an extremely satisfied customer that has no hesitation in recommending the product after using it from one side of the country to the other. You will also find the Australian agents, based in Yamba, to be two of the most delightful people you could ever wish to meet, should you be fortunate enough to do so. I researched my purchase intensely as it is a big investment and whilst there where both cheaper and similarly priced options available, I found none matched the build quality and attention to detail that the James Baroud model did.

I hope my response doesn't sound like a commercial for them, because that is not my intention and to be honest, I am generally reluctant to make suggestions when it comes product purchases, but I can confidently say that my decision to buy the Espace was one of my better ones.
