There are a few reasons why I prefer them for my setup. Firstly, I love how fast I can open the tent. Both the rooftop tents, the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/bwlm-shop\/rooftop-tents\/odyssey\/\">Odyssey<\/a> model with cross bars, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/rooftop-tents\/grand-raid\/\">Grand Raid<\/a> trailer model with a surface on top make it easy to carry solar panels, which is a big plus. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Additionally, the hard shell of these tents looks great and they are very easy to open and close. The black color scheme for all the covers, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/accessories\/#awnings\">Awning<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/awnings\/falcon-shower\/\">Falcon shower<\/a>, makes sense and fits the brand concept. Lastly, the tent can also be used as storage by removing the mattress, providing around 8 inches of height inside the tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-ff8aba5\" data-block-id=\"ff8aba5\"><style>.stk-ff8aba5 {height:75px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-call-to-action stk-block-call-to-action stk-block stk-4acc84b stk-block-background is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"4acc84b\"><style>.stk-4acc84b {background-color:#00000000 !important;}.stk-4acc84b:before{background-color:#00000000 !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-call-to-action__content stk-content-align stk-4acc84b-column stk-container stk-4acc84b-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-4acc84b-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3b3bdbd\" id=\"ready-to-elevate-your-overlanding-adventures\" data-block-id=\"3b3bdbd\"><style>.stk-3b3bdbd .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:34px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-3b3bdbd .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:34px !important;}}<\/style><h6 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Ready to elevate your overlanding adventures?<\/h6><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5a204a0\" data-block-id=\"5a204a0\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-left\">Explore the James Baroud blog for expert tips, breathtaking travel inspiration, and exclusive insights into the world of rooftop tents.
