Which is Best?

This does come down to personal preference, but there are also a few useful questions to consider when deciding how to setup your new softtop roof tent for the 1st time.

  1. Will you be using a 270 degree awning?
    • If yes then side opening is required for soft top tents
  2. Will you want to access your boot from the bottom of the tent?
    • If yes then rear opening is required for soft top tent
  3.  Is your tent wider than 1.4m?
    • If yes then you’ve guessed it, side opening is required for most vehicles

For hard top tents you can pretty much ignore unless you have a new HYBRID STYLE side folding hardshell!
