A: We just had this tent weighed in the warehouse and it is 138 lbs.

A: I believe it is 116 pounds.

A: 132 pounds

A: The product page says 135, but I thought I'd read somewhere 125. That includes the aluminum base, frame, ladder, etc.

A: With the rain fly on, it takes me about 5-7 minutes to open, and about the same to close. With no rain fly, 3-5 minutes.

A: At first it took me about 5 mins to set up and about 5 to take down. After about 3-4 times it was super simple and took me less then 3 mins on both set up and take down 

A: Depends, but I think we average about 5 minutes set up and 5 for tear down, including tossing bedding up there for 2 people. It’s probably quicker if you don’t used the rainfly. 

A: According to an an answer by 4wp in the gen 1 questions about 3 season or 4 season, the gen 1 is 3 season and the gen 2 is 4 season. 

A: I have not dealt with rainy nights yet, but this tent can develop condensation. Woke up in Sedona on a 15 degree morning and the tent produced very thin sheets of ice inside due to the condensation throughout the night.

A: - Please note: The roof top tent is not made for extreme conditions, and a fair use policy is required. Excessive rain, wind, snow, and other extreme conditions can affect and/or damage the tent.

A: Glenn is wrong. He doesn't mention which "other tent" he has. If Amazon has them, they don't come up in a search for Smittybilt poles, rods, supports, windows, awnings, or rainfly. The only good advice is to call customer support. I found rods by calling my local 4WP where I bought the tent.

A: I have 2 rooftop tents. Tge poles are the same. With that being said you can find poles on Amazon.

A: You will need to contact customer service Toll Free: 1-855-554-2400

A: Just put it on top of your Pathfinder and strap down. I did. I have a 2010 Pathfinder. I was able to unpack and mount on same roof by myself, using a sawhorse for help.

A: Its huge. No way gonna fit inside any suv. You need a pickup truck 100%

A: Measures L 61.0 W 54.0 H 15.0 # 154.00

A: Yes it comes a 3" dense memory foam mattress that stays in the tent full timr

A: Comes with the tent only. You’ll have to purchase roof/bed bars for your specific truck/car. 

A: This is just the tent.

A: Check out KB Vodoo. 

A: Can't speak to 2nd gen but I have a 3rd gen with the RCI Off-road 12" rack. It will work with yours. 0 issues and install was easy. I'm a bigger guy and the rack works great.

A: Works with all racks, one isn’t necessarily better than the other. It depends on the features and benefits of a rack that your looking for.

A: Yep

A: Yes. 2.5 inch high density mattress

A: Yes - Each tent has the mattress packed in.

A: Yes, the instructions include details for both ways.

A: Absolutely. You can mount it either side or off the back. I have it mounted off the back of my Jeep jku.

A: It can open to either side or the back. On my CX-5, however, the hatchback can't open very far at all when it opens to the back so mine is set to open to the passenger side. You might have to experiment a bit before you bolt yours down depending on your vehicle.

A: Don't fret if they do not align. On my rig, I needed to move 1 rail 3 inches over so it would sit where I wanted it. SUPER EASY to do with simple tools. So if it is not where you like, relocate!

A: The rails are in a fixed position and cannot be moved. The distance between the rails is 30 3/8" from inside to inside, and 34" from outside to outside (about 32" center to center). The rails are 56" long.

A: About 4' x 4' x 1' closed. I store mine on its side with no problems at all. It takes up a lot less space when stored upright. I use a furniture dolly to move it around.

A: Yes it can be stored on its side. I used 2 hardwood dolly's to roll it around for storage

A: Yep. Our kids have put it in their Subaru’s and it fits. The space between the rack and roof make it a little more difficult to install but you can get it done.

A: it should work as long as you have the proper roof rack to apply it to. also stick with the standard size RTT for that size car

A: It all depends on your roof rack.. go to Smittybilt home page and look at installation guide for the RTT.. it's a fairly easy install.. requires 2 people to lift RTT..

A: It should depending on your rack. The installation is straight forward. We have lent ours to family members and it seems to fit everyone’s cars but is harder to install on some because of clearance between the roof  and the bottom of the rack. The more distance you have the better because you have to get your hand in there to put on the nuts.

A: I never had GEN1, but I believe during my research I found that the ladder had improved.

A: The gen 2 comes with a better, much more adjustable ladder, the cover has a zipper completely around instead of Velcro, that would wear out, and had a better mattress I believe. The gen 2 also comes with an LED strip for the inside. Gen 2 is a more updated model 

A: 11.5"

A: Approx. 15"

A: I had an issue with my ladder and contacted 4wd. Super nice customer service. They sent me a brand new ladder at no charge.

A: Please contact Smittybilt: Toll Free: 888-717-5797

A: The rain fly is needed. It’s built in so when you open the tent it’s already attached. The tent is made of nylon not canvas and seems to resist rain and snow pretty well, we’ve had ours in heavy rain and light snow storms and kept 

A: the canvas will hold its own as long as the integrity of the fabric has not been compromised (ripped). the tent is very durable when it comes to the elements and has not failed me up to now. I've owned it for just over a year now and have exposed it to extreme heat, cold and some rain. Hope this helps.

A: Yes 

A: Yes the Smittybilt GEN2 Overlander Tent - 2583 has a roof window, refer to the third image on the site.

A: Definitely, I would say that the base of the tent is sturdy enough to install with only 2 bars, but 3 total is enough.

A: They would, you should confirm the weight rating on the crossbars from manufacturer.

A: I've never used the tent during snowy weather but I did use the tent during 30mph wind in Sedona last year and even my 2-year-old son did not wake up during the storm.

A: The Smittybilt GEN2 Overlander Tent - 2583 is equipped with a Lightweight, waterproof 420d oxford rainfly and the cover is made from heavy-duty 1040gsm, 2000d PVC with Velcro for waterproofing when folded up.

A: It's all about the rack that you mount the tent onto. I have a Yakama rack on my 96 Cherokee that I mounted my tent onto. I have seen plenty of these tents mounted on the beds of Tacoma's, but always on some sort of rack or frame.

A: yes this will fit the Nissan titan xd with the correct bed rack system. i have the smittybilt xl mounted to my Dodge ram that has a 5.7 ft bed and it has worked out perfectly/

A: Mine have 13” on either side from my roof rack mounts to the edge of the tent base. The distance between the cross bars is 36” but I think that has a lot to do with your vehicle’s rack system. Just try to center it over the top of your rig and it should be ok.

A: Between 32-46” apart.

A: I have a 2015 Patriot and installed the tent on the oem rails (Mopar 82210804 rated at 165lbs). The tent rides solid and the crossbars have no noticable movement when we are in the tent. If you're going to go with 3rd party crossbars, make sure they are rated for at least 150+ lbs. There are a lot of cheap thin walled steel bars that rust quickly and eventually will fail. (That is dynamic weight, so don't worry... Most crossbars will hold well over 500 lbs static weight.). If you decide to go with aero bars or the oem bars, it will be a tight fit under the tent because of the lower profile of the crossbars. Ratcheting box wrenches help a lot when installing the tent as there is not enough room for a socket. In conclusion, any crossbars that will clamp well to your rails and that are rated for 150lbs or more will work fine for the smittybilt overland g2 tent.

A: There aren’t specific ones. There are many options.. OE, Thule, Yakima ect. Just need to make sure they are rated to hold the weight

A: I can’t imagine it weighs any more than 20lbs at most. It’s only 2” of foam you won’t be cutting down weight by taking out the mattress. You can make it more comfortable by adding a mattress topper. I got a 2” queen size foam/gel mattress topper off Amazon and it makes it significantly more comfortable. And it still folds up with the tent so you can leave it in there.  Good luck. 

A: Approximately 7 lbs.

A: Put it on a road armor bed rack. On my Toyota Tacoma Its around 100 lbs, it's good for 2 and a small child. If your roof rack can handle atleast a 500 lbs ie: rtt and 2 person it's a good RTT.

A: You’ll have to purchase roof/bed bars for your specific truck

A: You have to purchase bed bars to mount this tent over your bed. There is several different companies that offer them for the Tacoma. 

A: The tent comes with mounting hardware included. Unfortunately we do not offer a bed tent rack for a Tacoma. However, it will work with just about any bed tent rack.

A: At a minimum $400 bucks 

A: No idea - that would be a Toyota part. Please contact your local Toyota dealer.

A: the LED strip is a male USB connection. the kit supplies a very long automobile auxiliary power outlet (cigarette outlet plug) with female USB which is pretty useless unless you tap into a 12V constant to keep the plug consistently energized. what I've found best is to have a small portable charging unit to use when up in the tent.

A: A USB cord and a 12v cigarette adapter.

A: Yes, with the addition of a roof rack with the proper load ratings 

A: Hello, It can be mounted to any rack with two crossbars. The rack needs to be able to support the tent at 138 lbs while driving, and while stationary needs to support the tent and the number of people you plan to have in tent. I would say most decent aftermarket racks will support this weight. Thanks for checking us out.

A: Yes! This is perfect fit for a Tacoma short bed. I have this on my Tacoma and it’s perfect. 

A: Yes it will - it fits the JT Gladiator and it has the same size bed.

A: You will need a bed rack system or a rack system rated for heavier loads for almost all rooftop tent systems. 

A: You can use 2-1/2" lag bolts through tent into your jeeps roof. Same bolts can be used to fix doors falling off..common issue found on jeep.

A: Yes, however for the price I wish it should come with a few different size bolts for the variety of racks on the market. Had to purchase my own

A: Yes it does 

A: The OG version's tarp cover is held on by velcro while gen 2 has a zipper. OG ladder is usable but not as sturdy and modular as the telescoping ladder on the gen 2. OG is a tan color while 2nd gen is gray.

A: Yes a roof rack is needed like: BajaRack 4Runner G5 Standard Basket Rack - BRT4RG5 and please review the instructions: https://www.4wheelparts.ca/sku/Smittybilt/standard/2583_Tent_Install.pdf

A: Approx 120 lbs

A: No, the smaller tent does not come standard with three cross bars.  

A: I have it mounted on my F350 with the clamps that mount in the door opening. Have had no issues the weight gets distributed through 4 points of contact. 

A: Depending on the amount of rain, tie downs may be required. As long as the rainfly is properly attached rain shouldn’t pool on the rainfly. I would recommend you contact customer service Toll Free: 1-855-554-2400

A: You will need a roof rack or cross bars to mount it on. Please call our sales team for more information Toll Free: 1-877-474-4821

A: Static Shipping Weight # 154LBS. Measures: L:61.0 x W:54.0 x H:15.0

A: I put these on the stock racks of my Subaru outback without issue. my only negative comment is that you should consider how much space there is between the racks and the roof as it may make it more difficult to tighten screws.

A: Pease contact a local 4WP store in your area: https://www.4wheelparts.com/stores/find-a-store

A: Yes.. if you flip the mounting bars on the tent, you can attach directly to the rails...

A: Contact our sales and support team Toll Free: 1-855-554-2400

A: This tent can be mounted to crossbars with a diameter of 1.5-2”. However, the weight capacity could be an issue as the bars need to be able to support not only the tent, but the people and gear that will be inside.

A: 92" x 55" Full

A: Please reach out to our customer service team Toll Free: 1-855-554-2400

A: These are not YKK zippers. This is a brand made specifically for us.

A: Closed dimensions are: 47"W x 55"L x 11.5"

A: Smitty doesn't not make an interior insulator. I also don't think they carry an annex let for the GEN2 tents. 

A: It's about four feet
