5 Star Customer Review of Dune 4WD Rooftop Tent Annex:
Laurie From South Coast NSW: "This product is great, is very good quality and sets up very quickly. The annex does not have a floor so make sure if it's wet to bring your own! It also only has three walls, it's best designed to go onto an SUV style car where the vehicle body would act as the 4th wall but we have had no issue with it against the ute! We have had it during a crazy storm and with everything guy roped down it was no issue where other peoples awnings crumpled around us!"
