Rightline Gear SUV Tent

10 More Questions

What exactly is the point of this? In all seriousness, what is this for? It's not like a pickup where you can actually put an air mattress in the bed and sleep there while having an attached tent for a more campers. The cargo area of a Wrangler, even an Unlimited is too small to strecth out. Then, you have the issue with your interior light being on with your liftgate and window open. 1 answer

• I am 6'0" and put a twin mattress in the back of the 4 door, worked just fine. Also the lights shut off after the door has been open for so long, just like the radio shuts off when you have no doors on and the front head lights shut off if you do not do it manually. all the gear can be stored in the Jeep and easily accessible while staying dry and you are able to sleep in a tent, or if you are at the beach you can use it to provide some cover and leave the coolers inside the Jeep.

I have a large 35'' spare tire on the rear. I would imagine that would hinder the use of the tent while both closed and open?? 1 answer

• With the Rightline Gear SUV Tent you would be able to use a 35 inch tire. Having a larger tire would just take up a bit more room inside the tent, since the tailgate is accessible from inside. However the tent can be used with 35's.

At first though it looks pretty interesting but am I correct that with the top and doors off it doesn't really make sense? 1 answer

• I personally have this, and can say it's great. However, if you were camping, you would not want to camp with your doors and top off anyway if you plan to sleep either in the Jeep or in the tent. We have this so that we can sleep in the Jeep but have the extra space of the tent attached to the Jeep. We just throw the soft top up and put the doors back on at night. During the day the top is back and the doors can be stored in the tent! This also works as a stand alone tent, and does not have to be attached to the Jeep to work!
