I own the new Car-Top-Tent model and the Eezi-Awn 1200.

The Eezi-Awn will be my long term solution, mounted at the height of the bed rails (to keep CG low).

The Car-Top-Tent is also very nice, but is a MUCH larger unit than the 1200. It is also reasonably priced.

Here is a picture of the Discovery tent from Car-Top-Tent mounted on my Tacoma for testing and photo shoot in Sedona.


I am testing both units and will provide more details in the coming weeks. My move to Prescott really slowed things down.

Initial impressions of the Eezi-Awn are very impressive, and they are my favorite tents as a result of my research conducted to date. The build quality and materials are exceptional...

I also really like the Autohome units (good quality and design), but they are not compact or light, and would require mounting at roof height (due to the size of my bed), which I do not consider ideal (CG, clearance, access, etc.)
