Because roof tents are up high on top of your vehicle, there’s no chance of getting flooded in the night after a heavy downpour like with a normal tent. So if you’re planning on going anywhere with unpredictable weather, these might just save you a very wet trip to the dry cleaners!
Off-road vehicles or SUVs are excellent candidates for mounting a roof tent. They tend to have strong and stable roofs that can bear the weight of the tent. In addition, off-roaders offer good off-road capability, which is useful for off-road expeditions.
Breathability: Unlike other types of tarps, canvas tarps are breathable. This means that they allow air to circulate, preventing moisture from building up and reducing the risk of mold and mildew. This makes them ideal for covering items that need to be stored for long periods of time.
If you put a lot of miles on the road and break often to rest, cook, or just relax in the outdoors, a vehicle awning adds a whole new level of comfort, shelter, and privacy.
Choosing between a canvas tent and a nylon tent depends on your camping needs. Canvas tents are more durable and provide better insulation and breathability, making them perfect for all seasons. On the other hand, nylon tents are lightweight and affordable, making them ideal for backpackers and hikers.
Aside from the breathable cotton material, canvas tents are typically designed with extra features to allow for more airflow. Even during winter months, a tent can feel like a sauna and circulation is always needed. Especially in the summer, when even a canvas tent can get a bit too hot when in direct sunlight.
Cotton canvas is the original tent fabric your grandad probably used - thick, durable, breathable, expands and swells when wet to seal off any holes. May leak the first time in rain as the swelling process takes place so needs to be weathered/seasoned before being used.
