Why choose a roof top tent?

The first roof top tents were used in the 1930s but they did not gain popularity until the late 1990s and are now more popular than ever with the constantly growing popularity in the off-road and 4x4 community such as in Australia and south America and all over Europe.

Iceland has unlimited options on where to drive and what to see so your route may change at any moment. The Icelandic weather is also known for changing at any moment every day, just like the Icelandic one-liner says “If you don’t like the weather in Iceland….. just wait 5 minutes” sometimes not really a joke but more of a fact. To this extent not having to look for a hotel room that may or may not be close to your location is a big benefit and a real-time saver.
Sure you can book a hotel with a nice view in some places, but one of the biggest upside to having a roof tent is that YOU decide what spectacular view you have outside your window, be it rows of beautiful mountain terrain, one of the many wonderful waterfalls Iceland has to offer or just the spectacular view of Vatnajökull Glacier, the appeal of falling asleep listening to the soothing sounds of a river flowing from a glacier towards the ocean or the ever-changing sounds of a nearby waterfall, can not be surpassed. And If you wonder if you can camp with your roof tent anywhere in Iceland, we have the answer for you right here.
