Best Hard Shell Roof Top Tent for Tacoma
Freespirit Recreation Odyssey
$3,295
FSR Odyssey is the most luxurious roof top tent for Tacoma.
The Freespirit Recreation Odyssey is the "Chanel" of roof top tents. It exudes elegance from every perspective and is equipped with amenities that ensure your comfort at all times.
Odyssey's distinctive tri-layer body fabric is one of the key qualities that distinguish it from the competition.
Essentially, the tri-layer technology utilized in the body fabric allows FSR Odyssey to keep you warm on cold nights and cool on scorching summer days. In other words, it functions as an air conditioner on hot days and a heater on chilly nights.
Odyssey's setup and take-down processes are totally automated and lightning-fast. You should be able to set it up in less than 30 seconds (without any assistance)!

Pros
- Low Profile Design
- Easy, Lightning Fast Setup & Takedown
