Condor Overland Ground Tents Setup & Installation
Some ground tents come with hubs that you push up like the poles on a rooftop tent. I've seen one that calls itself a 30 second tent.
How do you keep moisture out of a tent?
It's very easy to set up, but you need to have the right instructions. You also need to know what order to pull the arms out in so you don't break a hinge.
Easy Setup
A few tents stand out above the rest as being especially easy to set up. One such tent is the Condor Overland from Roofnest. This hybrid rooftop tent is designed for overlanders and other adventurers who need a quick and comfortable shelter while on the road.
The symmetrical design makes assembling this tent intuitive and easy for one person. Getting it onto your vehicle’s roof rack is a breeze, too. Once you’ve found a good spot to mount it, the tensioning hinges help to secure it in place. The tent is heavy duty and built for rough use, so it’s important to ensure it’s properly guyed out in windy conditions.
Another great feature is that the fly can be pitched separately from the inner tent, reducing overall weight for activities like motorcycle touring where every ounce counts. The tent also has a large vestibule that’s perfect for storing gear and providing weather protection when entering or exiting the tent.
Easy Storage
Whether it's the quick and easy setup, or the fact that you can still use your vehicle while camping, many overlanders appreciate the ground tent option. These tents allow you to explore your rig all day and then come back to a roomy backcountry abode for the night.
The NEMO Hub series from Gazelle is probably the most popular ground tent among overlanders. Their marketing claims it takes 30 seconds to set up, but realistically that's only if you have a flat luxury tent spot, pegged out all the corners and are using one person.
They can be used on a roof rack with ladders or on bare roof top without. They also fold up for storage and have a few options that make them versatile, including a 270 degree awning, an interior table and mattress frame, and a shower cube. They can also be configured to accommodate two or three people comfortably. DAC MX pole feet and rainfly C-clips allow for fast, stable pitching, while four inner pockets and gear lofts keep everything organized.
Easy Maintenance
The Condor Overland takes the hybrid rooftop tent to the next level providing a compact package when closed but a spacious and comfortable space when deployed. It features 66D polyester walls, 68D polyester floors, taped seams and hybrid steel and aluminum poles. It can accommodate three people and weighs in at just under 27 lbs. It also has 5 large windows and top and bottom vents to optimize airflow. It comes with everything you need including the ladder and folds up into a very compact approximately 1 ft x 2 ft carry bag.
Another great feature of this tent is that it can be adapted to different environments. This is important for overland travel as you can select a tent that is specifically suited to where you intend to camp. For example, you would probably want something much sturdier and robust if you are heading out into the Arctic or jungle. This will help to reduce the risk of the tent becoming unusable due to damage or wear.
Easy Cleaning
In general, a ground tent will have easier clean up than a roof top tent, but this also depends on the specific model you choose. Some models feature a removable floor which makes for quick and easy clean up. This is a great option for overland camping as it minimizes the risk of debris or dirt from entering the sleeping area.
Scott Brady: Another advantage to a ground tent is that you can easily transfer it between vehicles or use it at home as a guest room. This is a great option for people who aren’t sure whether they want to commit to a roof tent or not.
Generally, it takes about twice as long to set up a ground tent than an RTT, but this is still much quicker than setting up a traditional tent with poles and stakes. With practice, you should be able to get your tent from bag to camp in under 10 minutes.
