12v Power installed in the Roofnest Falcon RTT - 100 Series Land Cruiser Roof Top Tent Project

Getting 12v power inside the tent was a must for us. Being able to charge phones, run a fan, and led lighting inside was important. I value being able to setup extremely quickly so running extension cords or caring up extra gear for power was not an option for me. This setup is quick and easy and has worked great so far.

Hope you enjoy the video and it inspires your roof top tent power setup.

Here are links to all the items we used for our RTT 12v power setup.

So here are the big reasons we chose this particular tent.

Profile - This tents profile is extremely low which means it will effect gas mpg less and well let's be honest it is going to look very cool.
Weight - The falcon is 135lbs. Tents get up to or even over 200lbs and that is more than I want on my roof. I have traveled with weight on the roof and less is better. Not only is it safer but the vehicle handles better.
Load Rails - The available load rails are going to allow me to get a few things that were on the rack to the top of the tent.
Accessory Channels - The roofnest's accessory channels take a standard M8 bolt just like the frontrunner and the possibilities are endless.
Fit - the dimensions of this tent fit my frontrunner perfectly. If my rack was a 1/2" longer the tent would fit down into the rack but due to the Alu-Cab Shadow Awn's mounting brackets I am going to have to mount with the Frontrunner brackets that elevate it 1.2"
Price - while this is no inexpensive item when comparing to similar tents like the Alu-Cab's Gen 3 Expedition, Go Fast Camper GFC, Eezi-Awn Stealth, and Camp King after you include the shipping costs (roofnest includes shipping in price) most of the direct competition cost $1000 or more over the roofnest.
Here are a few similar tents to compare:

Go Fast Camper GFC
Eezi-Awn Stealth
