C6 Outdoor

This is my second Rev Tent. I regretfully sold one many years ago and when I saw the Ember with blackout technology, it was a no-brainer. It fits perfect in my ram 1500 short bed. Best mattress in the industry! I sleep just as well as on my sleep number mattress at home. It’s light, easy up and easy down. I can even strap it to the top of my UTV SxS for real remote camping. It is the real deal and cannot recommend enough.

This tent is fantastic! I spent the weekend camping through a rain storm and the Shellter kept me dry and warm. It was also easy to put up and break down when I was ready to hit the trails. 100% waterproof and I slept like a baby with the 4" mattress.

If you want one of the best tents out there that combines comfort with ease of set up and long term quality, then this is a great tent. I've spent a lot of nights sleeping in other tents trying to get comfortable on blow up air mattresses that slide out from under me or go flat in the middle of the night, but nothing beats the built in mattress in the REV TENT!

Well made and well thought out. All the best of a rooftop tent and ground tent in one.

The Good:
1. Top notch workmanship, quality, & made to last.
2. Great Support if needed.
3. Fantastic wind resistance. Living in the desert we get some strong winds but little rain. That said one night there was a short burst of wind driven rain and the tent stayed dry. If you're getting high wind gusts the tent can be staked at multiple points. The poles are robust enough to be able to withstand gusts.
4. Take comfort in that everything is as advertised.
5. Every time I start a new home project I am happy that my tent is in the garage and I have the full benefit of my truck to transport home project materials.
6. I usually wake to my bins with camping food etc. outside of the tent covered in condensation. I have not had any condensation in the tent.
7. As high temperatures can be an issue where I live & camp in the summer, I like a tent with a lot of screen area. This tent has great ventilation & is comfortable.
8.No fly to put on, as it is permanently attached in the optimum position. .

The Bad (perhaps only for me):
I was unable to use the diagrams to correctly set-up the tent. This is a personal “fault” as In general I do poorly with diagrams and much better with step by step written instructions. There are a couple videos that can be viewed that if you have any issue will help a lot. Watch those videos and do not make the mistake I made of not calling support when I had an issue setting the tent up, they will help you solve any issue you may have. That said, once you know how to set up the tent it is easy, fast to set-up/take down & you will do it quicker each time.

Good to know if you own a Toyota Tacoma 2005 or later:
You can still enjoy the benefits of the C6 Rev Tent by cutting a contour of about 1.75” max off the stiff foam where it sits between the wheel wells. I have a single cab and so I just had to cut 2 of the forward foam pieces which I did when I was satisfied I would keep the tent. I still have the original sleeping width at my shoulders (where it usually matters the most) and only a slightly narrower area at the wheel wells which is not noticed.
It is a bit awkward to set the tent up in the compact Taco. So I set the tent up on the ground except for the two awnings. If you have no bed racks & there are two of you, lift it into the Taco. If you're solo or have permanent bed racks, you can pull it in from the tailgate. Once the tent is in the truck bed, & positioned I install the awnings.

Summary: Have full use of your truck when not camping, with a Rev quality & comfortable tent.

Absolutely love the tent. Fast shipping, easy setup, great mattress for a few nights sleep and perfect size for one with all the goodies or two if you want to cuddle up I guess!😂

What I like about the tent. Flexibility - setup on the on the platform, on the roof rack or on the ground. The tent is well made with quality materials. Easy to setup. Comfortable mattress. Light weight and easy for one person to move. Easy to store.
Setup not as easy as a traditional rooftop tent as it take a bit more time. But once you get used to the setup, it should take less time.
Glad I found this tent!

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.

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.

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.

Along with purchasing my Rev tent I decided to spend a little more for the mattress cover and pillow cases. I highly recommend it!

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

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 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.
