Its just about time for the Staples InTents big trip across country to Overland West. So, we’ve purchased a roof top tent for our trip, the Tepui Autana Sky 3 to be exact. Check out this video where Staples Intents set it up for the very first time.
Please leave us and the Tree Troopers comments and questions. We love questions about glamping, gear, destinations, and overlanding and want to help you on your adventures!

"Mistakes have been made", lol good thing found them before trip start. appreciate the first time set up vid. Lil different than you see with other reviews.
You guys are so entertaining. I hope i run into you two at overland east.
You need to
I would like to know more about this tent you got, was it comfy? Feels stable?? More!
Lol guys, I never used the annex… Also- you are going to enjoy the late night excursions to the outhouse! Adds to the adventure….
Just discovered you guys… your Awesome. I enjoy your channel, and to see what its REALLY like trying to set up one of these tents for the first time.
lol, that's ok. we all make mistakes. It's how we grow as humans. They say that "you learn from your mistakes". If that's true, then I am one of the smartest people on the planet. HA HA.
On a side note. REI sends a lot of money to groups that want to close off 4×4 trails. I.E. Overlanding. I say this only to inform people so they can make their own decisions with more knowledge.
I so love you guys! Keep up the good work. Yall are showing how real it is! Love it!
Oh no….. if it makes you feel better I never used my annex, the only time I too it out the box was when I sold my RTT lol.
Just go back to the ground tent. No shame in that.
Show us more !!!
Hey Guys reach out if you need help?? I use a tepui tent as well. I can walk you though it. Main problem I see is you should side mount the tent. meaning the tent should open up to the driver or passenger side. Not opening up straight back above lift gate.
These kind of roof top tents do not work well with lift gate vehicles like yours or my xterra. Plus the channels, you should see two, one is for the travel cover to attach too and the other is for the annex depending on what model annex you have. Tepui has gone though a couple of annex versions over the years.
I see a readjustment of equipment in your future when arriving here at the Expo.
