roof top tent

We have a Shippshape which makes no noise, might have something to do with the shape of the truck though ;-))
I've had a Maggolina go past on the expressway on top of a fourunner and it was whistling like a bastard, no idea whether it was the rooftop tent or the vehicle though.
If you are looking for a rooftop tent do some research as they are not all the same and most require you to be outside in the elements (rain) when accessing the tent, bit hard to keep bedding dry when you are climbing in wet.
That was what put us off the hardshell type rooftoppers. The shippshapeis great because you have somewhere dry on the ground and access is out of the weather.

I have a shippshape too and havent noticed any noise either, not even the ladder.
Agree with the other comments and we have used ours for an aggregate of over 9 months over the 5 years that we have had it.
Wind is the only issue that we have if it is really bad but otherwise it is really good.

I have a no name brand bought over the internet. Can't say it makes a lot more noise although I have it well back and a generally have a basket up front which has a wind break on the front.

Well i can tell you the Howling Moons make no noise.Mine had been half way around australia and never heard a thing. the snorkel makes all the noise!

Maggiolina makes no noise at all and is very wind resistant..
Because it covers your whole roof you also get a very cool car in summer when the acond is on because the roof is always in shade...
When it rains you get no noise because of the hard roof and when it is windy you get no side flap...
Could not be happier...
I have had the other ones and they can jam em up their armpits...

Thanks for All the replies ,Voxson I have had a oz tent,camper trailer,beds under awning,I will have a roll out awning, sliding draws,columbia roof top tent, migh get it right for myself this time Friar.

Not wanting to hijack your thread but looking at some of the comments - I was wondering- how do you go with movement with the roof top tent? I mean how stable do they feel when it is really windy, or you turn over in bed, or when you happen to be doing some .....um.... 'other' moving? doc.
