TESTED: most spacious tent setup [OTG]

[surfstar]

Its called OTG - On The Ground
Highly movable - it can go where no roof-top tent would dare!
packs up very small for its size in about 5 mins - weighs less than 17 lbs
low profile for wind
60 sq ft of floor area, 60" peak height
no weight limit
and can be yours for $300 at REI

Bonus - ZERO MPG hit!!!

We saw many, many "overlanders" setup in a developed campground that our Prius would have made it to at 60 mpg. With our OTG setup, the Mav got 38+ mpg for the trip. Sea level, to Death Valley, to 6k feet, back to sea level.

With gas at $5/gal, the OTG tent will pay for itself in no time! Hit a low of 35 that night - seems better to be on the ground, out of the breeze and insulated than on top of a truckbed or roof.

Negative: less cool photos

The Maverick hybrid is enough, until it isn't. Same with the AWD.

I'm also a ground tenter. It's so much cheaper, and I say that owning a $200 mattress for camping.

For the few weekends a year that I camp I’ll stick with my hammock. I was a long time tent camper but since trying out a hammock I don’t think I’d go back to ground sleeping.

I'm a OTG guy too. Welax air pad and a cabelas bigman cot. Sleep like a baby. And easier to get up and pee and back to sleep. Or I sleep in my silverado if big winds and cold. Got a heat blanket for cig lighter.

Awesome pic. High desert camping is probably my fav type of camping.
