Naturnest Sirius 2 Clamshell Rooftop Tent- Review

Good morning, Pals!


Today I wanted to share my honest review of the Naturnest RTT.


First off—this isn’t a sponsored post (though I definitely wouldn’t have minded if it was ). The package arrived in a secure wooden crate. Installation was a bit tricky, but that was more due to my bed rack than the tent itself.


Pros:

• Build quality: The material feels very sturdy, and the tent is super spacious. My wife and I both slept comfortably.
• Zippers: Double-sided, smooth, and easy to open/close.
• Comfort in weather: We camped last weekend in Cloudcroft, NM. It rained and dropped to about 40°F. With a queen sleeping bag plus one queen comforter, we stayed warm all night.
• Blackout feature: Hands down my favorite part! Normally, in cheap ground tents, I wake up at 6 a.m. as soon as the sun hits. In this tent, I slept until 9 a.m.—and it still felt like 3 a.m. inside until it started warming up. Game changer.
• Struts & design: The included struts lift the back of the tent another foot and create a nice extra window for airflow.

Cons:

• Latches: The latches that hold the tent closed don’t have a locking option. With the way I mounted it, I’m not worried about theft, but having lockable latches would be a great upgrade.
• Weight: It’s on the heavier side. Gross weight is about 234 lbs, net weight around 135 lbs. Because it isn’t flat, installing it solo is tough.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, this is a very solid RTT. The size is great, the blackout feature is amazing, and setup/breakdown is super easy. The colors also look sharp.


For the $1,800 sale price (full price is around $2,000), I think it’s well worth the money. Definitely recommend it if you’re in the market for a rooftop tent.

This old goat will pass on having to deal with a ladder at zero-dark-thirty.





But camp!

That is a bad ass set up! you got solar flexible panel ?

You're completely right I forgot to mention this RTT does come with LED strip light right on top of the ladder, I was able to see and blind other people too lol

Here is our new ‘25 TH and ‘24 Bean Trailer.
Tonneau cover is on the way. We made do with tie downs underneath and a tarp on top.

Exactly. And a fine choice of color.

Interesting on how RTTs and trailers all serve a very similar purpose. Good to know that there are so many ways to just get out and enjoy nature!

That Trailhunter was sure squatting with the bean and zombies under the tarp. I have a TH as well. I haven’t loaded it down other than a cooler and some tools.
I’ve considered a heavier coil upgrade but haven’t yet.

We had a lot in the bed—mainly a load problem vs truck problem
