Good tent with a few drawbacks, 3.5 stars really
Let me start by saying I like this tent, with a few caveats. I’ve driven with it on an Outback from the west coast to the east coast and to Canada and back. I’ve probably used it 100 times, which means I’ve popped up and broken down 100 times, mostly by myself (5'3" female) and I have some notes. For the pluses: -Love the smaller design meaning you're able to use the other half of your roof rack, I've had a bike and a small cargo basket next to it -Easy enough for one person to set up/brake down, not super easy but still very doable -Feels sturdy and is roomy enough for as compact as it is -Lightweight, easy to lift onto car with two people Now for the notes: -IMO the foam mattress was garbage, became rock hard at temps in the 20s and too bulky to fold inside the tent, especially when used with anti condensation mat, made closing the tent and zipping the cover very difficult. I threw it away and replaced it with two 25 inch wide inflatable sleeping mats from REI and have no regrets -Pin lock for ladder jiggles itself loose when driving and will come apart and I have almost lost it multiple times when I've taken the cover off and not realized its loose inside the cover, I've resorted to keeping a hex wrench with me in the car as a backup to secure the ladder to the tent -I agree with the other reviewer that having to store the ladder separately from the tent is annoying -The rain fly poles should collapse or fold, I do not keep the rainfly on the tent all the time because its black and makes the tent unbelievably hot, instead I keep it in my car in case I need it. However the poles for the fly do not collapse and are 7 feet long which means you can't just keep them in your car, if you choose to keep them on the tent without the fly, they aren't really attached, they just slip into channels and often come loose when you're pitching the tent and you also have to push them back in well in order to close the cover when you're folding up the tent -One of the pockets is behind a strap, making it less functional, this appears to be because the non-ladder side of the tent has larger door, but why? You can't exit the tent on that side -Durability concerns --The waterproof taping is starting to peel back in a few places inside the tent --I've had multiple ripped stitches on the cover when trying to close it up, the fabric becomes more rigid when cold and it makes it a lot harder to stretch the cover over the tent resulting in ripping stitches --The tube inside the channel that attaches the zipper to the tent is coming out/has punched through the fabric at both ends of channel, its not really reinforced on the ends

Foothill Roof Tent Review
After reading ample reviews on various roof tents, I ultimately chose the Foothill Roof Tent because of its minimal footprint, leaving room for other gear on my roof rack. Now that I’ve taken it out twice, I feel confident in the setup process, which is both straightforward and efficient. The tent held up great in 30°F overnight temps without the insulator, and my dog stayed cozy as well. On the highway, it’s surprisingly quiet, with no obnoxious wind noise. All in all, I’m very pleased with this purchase—it’s compact, well-built, and performs exactly as I’d hoped.

Great rrt
I recently bought a tule foothill after sell an older rrt. Very pleased with the quality and overall sturdiness of this tent. The layout is great for fitting more toys on the rack beside it for all kinds of adventures .

Awesome product!
Very spacious when in use and sleek when traveling. After the learning of setting up and putting back to its compact traveling size set up is getting easier each time

Too early to know. But..
We’ve only set up the tent when first received. Which was delivered very quickly. However, during set up, the brackets that come with the tent was a pain… while slowly attaching each bolt, we thought- there must be an easier way. Looking back in the website we found out that there is in fact a quicker set up. For an extra price of course. Our thing is… ok, Thule recognized there to be a better system and instead of just giving that to us, we’re forced to pay the extra bucks. I get it- name of the game but dang… throw us a bone. Other than that- the tent seems like it’s going to be an awesome upgrade and we are excited to try it out. We’ve read lots of folks complain about the zipper positioning but we won’t know how we feel u til we try. Also, when putting on the cover, be careful. The threading has already come up a little as we fitted it on…

Zippers …. Argh!
I've been using the Foothill for about 6 months now. There have been several issues mostly with the cover and straps. Once set up I actually love the tent. I live in SoCal so I can often sleep with the top open and fall asleep under the stars. Sure it takes a bit more time to set up but once you figure you your system. I can get it set in less than 10 minutes and packed up in about 15. I agree with a lot of the reviews on here though ... the cover and straps and zipper fall apart very quickly. Ive used the tent about 2 dozen times and started having zipper issues by the third time. I started making sure I had bungie cords and ratchet straps with me at all times knowing it was just a matter of time before the zipper would completely fail. I've had to fix it several times but this last trip it completely failed and I had to strap it up to get home safely. I got home and went to the website to order replacement parts and unfortunately on the parts I need there is no description. And you can't call anyone for customer support with questions. My firs being is the zipper upgraded from the original. I have Gen 1 model. Does the zipper come with both sides or just the side attached to the cover. I know that sounds like a silly question but I am not surprised by much these days and I could see that being sold separately. If the zippers is the same as the original from V1 … I will pass and get rid of the tent because I’m certain I will run into the same problem in a few months.

Tent review
Hello I have been using my new tent for a couple weeks. The cover tgat goes over the tent that zips up, the zipper that’s plastic broke the first week. Everything else I love about the tent. It’s really fun to camp in. I will have on display at overlanding shows. Are y’all able to send me a new cover that goes over the tent please?

Great tent to go beside the Thule Cargo Box
My only complaint is there is no storage for the ladder on the roof top tent or travel cover; would be nice if a pocket or something could have been stitched into the travel cover or a place to strap it to the top before you put the cover on so the ladder stays with the tent at all times (might end up doing). Almost forgot it on my second trip...Would have given a 5 star if not for this.

Good tent, bad cover
I love this tent but agree with a previous reviewer that the cover is garbage! The straps rubbed multiple holes in the cover after only a few months of use, allowing water to get in when it rains. (We do store the tent I side all winter). Unfortunately, we purchased the tent secondhand so have no proof of purchase and can’t file warranty claim. The fabric or strap system needs to be fixed.
