C6 Outdoor

I'm usually not an early adopter but I had been carrying another brand tent almost 2x the weight and only a few inches wider full time. It was too much pressure with it on my truck 24/7 = both thinking about how I should probably be out camping with it, as well as the hit on my MPG. I have been taking my Rev Tent off my rig during the weekdays, and couldn't be more pleased with the simplicity. I mount it to my Sherpa rack using the straps it came with and all is good. Rained like heck the first night, windy too, and all was dry and sturdy through the night. Overall, impressed.

We own a UTV tour company (utvovernights.com) and use these tents to do 1-4 night overland excursions in them to destinations like The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Sand Hallow, The Coral Pink Sand Dunes, The Boulder Mountains and everything in between. Originally we purchased one tent to put it to the test (which is no almost two years old), I have transported this tent on the roof of my Can-Am x3 for most of its life It has logged at least 5k miles on the top of my UTV through rain, mud, hail and snow, we liked it so much that we ordered 5 more for all of our UTVs, and even rent the tents out on occasions. WE LOVE OUR REV TENTS! I am going to do my best to touch on pros and cons so you can see if this is right for you.
1. Weight: this is the main reason we purchased the tent we needed to stay extremely lite weight to not overload our UTVs. At around 25lbs, (44lbs if I leave my c6 pillows, mothertucker blanket, fitted sheets, gear loft, and 5lb sleeping bag in it) it checks this box no problem. (any competitors are 88lbs and heavier without the extra gear I leave in mine.
2. Set Up: I can have a bed in less than 5 min, so easy my wife can do it.
I have so much more to say but ran out of room go to my Youtube link for the rest of my pros and cons. https://youtu.be/bZjOmyRH1JM?si=I9IZUjA6srCgoupZ

My adventure vehicle is also my daily driver. I didn't want a roof top tent on it when I don't need it. I purchased the platform and tent. The platform is light enough that i can remove it and set it by myself. The platform needs assembly and the instruction is on point. It's easier to do this on a big table rather than on the floor. It's a solid unit! The tent is nice and 4" foam is comfortable. It only takes a few minutes to set up the tent.

Also,
It came with a wrist sweat band just in case you sweat tightening the bolts. That's cool. It came with a C6 patch, sticker and extra bolts and washers. It was packaged properly and super fast shipping.

Just in case you change your mind, you have 30 days to return. Read the policy though so there's no confusions.

I recommend this product.

We use our tent on a 2021 TRD Off Road Tacoma with a Prinsu roof rack. I Cut 2 pieces of 7/16 plywood 42x47" to support the added length of tent (84") and those lay in the bed of truck till we're ready to set up the tent. Then just throw them up on the rack followed by the tent. After using the tent a few nights I don't think we even need the added support. Only hangs over 5" on each end without the wood. So light on the roof you don't even know it's up there when driving. Initial setup was not fun, hopefully it will get easier with use based on others comments. Extremely difficult to get the pole ends into the holes. I almost gave up and returned it it's that bad. Assembled it on picnic table and then put it on the roof. I keep my truck in my garage so a rooftop tent was out of the question for me until I saw a YouTube video on this tent. The tent is extremely high quality and the zippers are super smooth for getting in and out. The mattress was comfortable but we added a 1" memory foam topper after using it a few nights. Cut about 8 inches off the width of a twin topper. Now it's as comfortable as my purple mattress at home. If I could change anything about it I'd add another hook at the apex of the ceiling for hanging a light and move the tent pole holes a few millimeters out. Overall I'm extremely happy with my tent! Might try putting it on 2 old army cots. Best feature is the flexibility to set this up whichever way you can imagine.

So happy we ordered this with our tent! The foot box is great and wife and I covered up with sleeping bags and then tucked out feet in the box. It was a very cold coupke of nights and the blanket seemed to stay in place very well, plenty long and was wide enough for us both. Should work well as the season gets warmer. Couldn't fit it back in the stuff sack though. Nice bag, just too small, used it for other items.

I sold my hard shell and have been using the Rev Tent for the last month on my Land Cruiser Front Runner rack. We're not organized campground people and we like to get lost off the fire roads and set up wherever we can. Love the freedome of being able to move the tent around while still having rack space availalbe to haul in firewood and carry out trash. And my girl says this tent is even more comfortable than the last RTT.Sets up more like a ground tent, which makes sense since we also have used it on the ground. Saving for the sheets and pillows next!

I first saw the c6 tent at overland expo and loved the idea. I had to order one, and was super excited when it came. I love how easily you can move the tent around and get it from the top of your vehicle, to storage in minutes by yourself.

The tent is extremely comfortable and cozy with a really comfortable mattress pad that helps you have a great nights sleep.

Having the ability to move it from the top of your vehicle to the ground makes this tent great for many conditions. Sometimes I want to get off the ground and be up high on my vehicle, or other times I want to move the tent to a more flat surface that wouldn’t be possible with a traditional roof top tent.

I have used this tent in 20° temperatures before and it ended up getting so warm inside that I had to unzip my sleeping bag, which I thought was crazy.

Overall, I highly recommend, and definitely recommend giving the c6 a try.

I started with a 2nd hand Smitty Built soft top tent. Mattress was thin, big openings for insects to get through, part of the design, go figure. And too heavy for me to move without first building a ramp off my truck and getting some furniture rollers. Then tried an off brand made in china knock off hard top with a crank top. That one leaked like crazy. Sold it for pennies on the dollar. I didn't want to give up on roof top sleeping in a mattress. I got an email about these guys and thought i'd give it a try. My wife likes to "glamp" so this new tent ticks all the boxes. It's a tent with a lot of features. The poles go together smooth. Seems sturdy. The stitching is nice, no loose threads that we can see. We did a test nap in the front room and we fit in nice. Its a camping "2 person", not an everyday 2 person bed, like a queen. But we were comfortable. Taking it out this weekend for the first rodeo.

I traded up my hard shell RTT for the Rev. 1/5th the price. 2x more useful. Similar in size but I have much more freedom with how I organize my truck for expeditions. And much more freedom to choose where to camp when I get there. Takes longer to set up. More like a traditional ground tent that ways. But part of the fun of camping is the cracking open a cold beer and setting up.

The construction is solid. There is a small zipper where you can adjust the fill. 2 fit perfect in the Rev Tent. They work and feel just like my bedroom pillows, but are sized just a bit smaller. The carrying case squishes the pillow down a bit to save space in your camping kit. And the case is a dry bag. We got caught with some of our gear in a rainstorm and our 2 pillows were bone dry.

Few tents fit into the short R1T bed, and they mostly have the door on the wrong side. The floorless kind won't work because you can't 'tuck' them between cab and bed like you can on a regular truck, so rain comes straight in. After a ton of research I was cautiously optimistic, and am super glad I took the chance on C6 tent. We're just back from a wintery trip to Outter Banks, NC. Tent is a wrestling match to set up initially, but after that it really is as easy as the videos show. It can also be set up and broken down in the bed directly, by one person. The base spans the bed ridges so you don't feel them at all, the memory foam is the most comfy camping surface I've ever experienced, and bed drainage works perfectly without rain accumulating. My only suggestions are: 1/ remember to vent windows to avoid condensation (like with all tents), and 2/ unless you're over 6' tall, have a stepping stool to get in (tent fits to end of tailgate, so there's no way to hoist yourself in.

I was lucky to get an advance test unit when they ran out of stock of their other platform style. This version is not a flat surface like the first one. On my Chevy Colorado bed this mounted easily to my bed cross bars. Love that I can leave the platform on and keep the tent in the garage when not camping. The assembly took a minute but wasn't difficult. It did take me a little longer than their recoommened 2 hours, but the instructions were thoughtful and easy to follow. Overall, super happy I don't have to drive around with a heavy and bulky gas sucking roof tent all year round! This solution is A+ for me.

I’ll caveat up front to say we haven’t been able to camp with this yet, since it’s the middle of winter. That said, I put it all together myself (alone, as a very not assembly minded individual) and put it up on my teardrop trailer, and I’m thrilled and beyond excited to get outside.

Ease of deployment - 5 stars. I am no spring chicken and it’s a piece of cake to unfold. Tent is great, too. Feels very sturdy despite the light weight.

Ease of use - 5 stars. This has already made my life easier; I can roll the teardrop into the garage without having to worry about removing a giant heavy tent. Game changer. Small footprint means it doesn’t interfere with my vent or solar panels. The rack’s low profile brings better mileage, plus if I don’t need the tent I don’t need to haul it around.

Ease of assembly - I’ll say that this was very slow going for me personally (definitely more than 2 hours), but I have to give C6 HUGE credit for immediately responding to me on a Saturday evening with one of the most detailed, encouraging, helpful responses I’ve ever gotten from a company. No kidding, they sent me a clarifying video clip answering my questions. I was really impressed and sold on their customer service if anything goes awry down the line.

Glad I waited for this while it was sold out. It was worth it and I don’t believe there’s anything comparable on the market right now.

I drive a truck (hotshot) and use this tent at rest areas instead of paying for a hotel. I set it up on the deck of my trailer and strap it against the gooseneck when driving. I've easily spent 50 nights in this tent, and nothing has broken. It has literally covered the entire country strapped to my trailer. It is very comfortable and simple to set up and take down. Once I got the hang of it, it takes about 3 minutes.

I will say, it is not perfect. It claims to be 81" inside, but I'm 6'7" and if I lat flat on my back I'm pushing a little on both ends of the tent with my feet and the top of my head. It's also not 100% waterproof. If the little skirt around the edge doesn't stay down, water will seep in. My mattress has gotten wet before in windy rain, and the whole tent feels a little damp like the rain soaks through everywhere a little.

Overall though, I'm very satisfied with this tent and will probably get another one if this one ever fails.

i got duped into purchasing another tent manufacturers LED lights. I got a short string of twinkly lights only good for mood highlighting the interior of the tent. Couldn't read by them. Couldn't light up the kitchen area. Gave them to my kid for their dorm room, as they were useless at the camp site. These C6 Outdoor camp lights are BRIGHT. but can dim if you want to dial it down a bit. The color is warm, so not like a Kareoke bar at the campground. ANd the fact that you can light them up in the dry bag to create a softer lantern style light is the icing on the cake. Brilliant. Pun intended. To use outside the bag there are these magnetic ties which i used to attach the lights to a tree branch over my camp stove for cooking, then moved onto my tent ladder while getting ready for bed. Moved them in to the tent quickly for settling in... can't recommend enough.
