Weatherproof Materials & Design
The RoofBunk Explorer has our high quality 320gsm poly-cotton blend ripstop canvas material on the body of the tent and 600D Oxford polyester on the rainfly, making it completely weatherproof.
It can handle winds of up to 40mph (Gale Force 8) when opened, has waterproof silicone tape on the seams to stop leaks, and the material has a waterproof rating of 3000mm HH on the body and 5000mm HH on the rainfly. This makes it 3-5 times as waterproof as a regular ground tent and able to handle even the worst rain storms with no problem!
The materials have been treated with agents to make it UV and mould resistant, so it should be protected from being faded by the sun and we've made sure the material used on our tent is breathable to prevent condensation and dampness as much as possible. Also, because the materials are both dark and thick, it should stay dark for you in the morning, so you won't be woken up by the sun!
Our travel cover is made of 1200D/680g heavy duty PVC, so it will be very durable and has a high quality zip to ensure no water seeps in on wet days too!
Opens & Closes In Minutes
Our roof top tent is able to be set up and packed away in a matter of minutes with its fold out system. You can also keep your bedding inside when it's down too if you fold your duvet before- perfect if you're on the move frequently when travelling!
The set up process in short involves unzipping and pulling the travel cover down, using the ladder to unfold the roof tent, then putting up the canopy pole and all the window/rainfly poles. We have a full installation and opening/closing (starts at 4:21) video tutorial here if you'd like to see exactly how it works though: How To Install, Open & Close Your RoofBunk Explorer Soft Shell Roof Tent .
Fits Almost Any Vehicle
You should be able to fit a RoofBunk Explorer soft shell on any vehicle's roof as long as you're able to keep the roof bars between 40cm and 120cm apart, as this will sufficiently spread the load weight evenly, but ideally aim to be closer to the middle of these measurements if possible!
Make sure to get roof bars that are rated to hold at least 50kg of weight and are ideally through bars in design, as these will always be long enough for the fitting brackets to go on them, but flush roof bars that have at least 70cm of unobstructed length for the brackets to fit will be fine!
You'll also need to check your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity is over 50kg, which can be found in your vehicle’s user manual or after searching for the information online.
If all this sounds daunting, then please email over your vehicle's number plate and we'll be happy to do the research for you!
Spacious Design With Canopy
The RoofBunk Explorer has a large and tall roof tent design, allowing space for taller people to sit up when needed and have a more comfortable sleep.
It's about as wide as a standard sized double bed at 140cm (4ft 7), 240cm long (7ft 10) and has a high enough ceiling for the tallest people you know to sit up in at 130cm high (4ft 3).
All this allows you to sleep up to 2 adults and a child or 3 adults if you don't mind getting cozy!
On top of this, you get another 70cm x 140cm of space outside with the canopy at the entrance and even more under the overhanging floor (120cm x 140cm). The canopy fully covers the ladder too, so you don't have to worry about getting wet when getting in and out.
You can also add an annex awning for even more space and comfort and install it so the canopy overhangs the back too!
Light, Strong & Compact
The roof tent has a strong 25mm aluminium frame and can hold up to 350kg in total (55 stone) of weight inside it when spread across the two sides, so it's very well built.
It's light at 50kg (110lb), making it easier to lift on and off your car.
The light design also means it costs you slightly less in fuel and makes it easier to find suitable roof bars to hold the load if you don’t already have them.
The foldable design allows it to take up minimal space on your roof too at 140cm x 120cm x 30cm, so it leaves room for extra gear or accessories, such as an awning.
Save Money On Holidays
Save money camping in a RoofBunk roof top tent instead of paying for hotels!
If you consider that the average campsite pitch price is £10-£15 a night, compared to the average hotel room costing you anywhere from £100-£300 a night, you should be to make the RoofBunk roof tent pay for itself in no time!
You can also save even more money by camping at the various free stopover locations on apps like Park4Night & StayFree ect.
Plus, all the RoofBunk models retain their value quite well, so if you do eventually decide to move on, you should be able to sell them for 70%-80% of what you originally bought them for, meaning you could get your money's worth after just one trip away!
Endless Views
The RoofBunk Explorer has 2 large windows and a viewing door, so you can enjoy the scenery in style on your adventures!
Plus, with the 2 skylights you can watch the stars at night or simply just have more natural light during the day.
Added Design Features
The windows are curved to help it handle higher winds and the canopy is too in order to reduce pooling.
We've designed it in a way that enables you to close it with more bedding in than other soft shell roof tents, as long as you fold your duvet or sleeping bag on the side of the RoofBunk that's getting closed on.
The RoofBunk also has black elastic strings inside it, which help pull the tent material in, so you should have less to tuck in when closing it.
You get a strip light on the roof that plugs into any standard USB port on a power bank to help you see when you get into bed.
We've put the travel cover straps positioned over the ladder to make sure it stays down when you're going over rough terrain or speed bumps to avoid damaging the aluminium base.
Plus every door, window and skylight on the RoofBunk Explorer has zippable mosquito nets on them to keep any bugs out, while still ensuring good airflow.
Included Accessories
Your RoofBunk Explorer comes with a high quality aluminium telescopic ladder that can extend up to 230cm (7ft 7 inches) and a comfortable 6cm (2.5 inch) thick memory foam mattress. The mattress can also be removed for easy washing or you can put your own custom sized mattress in it instead for even more comfort if you wish!
You also get everything you’ll need to install it, lots of extra storage pockets for phones ect, a USB strip light on the roof, a storm pole to prevent pooling during heavy downpours, 2 wing nuts to allow you to take the ladder off easier, 2 boot bags and 8 door/window porch poles are included too if you'd prefer to prop the doors open instead of rolling them up!
Warranty
With your RoofBunk, you'll get a 2 year warranty with it free of charge!
There's also an option to pay to increase this warranty by up to 5 extra years, so you'll have 7 years in total, which you can find here: RoofBunk 1 Year Warranty Extension.

If Your Dog Can Rip The Hood Off Your Car--This Is The Dental Toy For Him/Her
I am always curious about buying the "number one best seller" that Amazon lists in any product category. And when it's an add-on item offered at a reasonable cost, I'm even more curious.
From reading the reviews, it appears that some dog owners ordered this item and were disappointed in it for a number of reasons, primarily because the 'hardness' of the toy caused dental problems. Obviously no one wants to buy a dental toy that actually causes teeth problems. However, some small breed owners must not be aware that their particular breed is subject to dental issues regardless of what toys they chew. Just off the top of my head, this type of problem often occurs with Yorkies, Chihauhaus, and Chinese Cresteds. You can use virtually any dental care method in existence and still watch your Chinese Crested's teeth fall out.
So small breeds shouldn't be given tough Nylabone toys like this Dinosaur model. If you watch any dog chew on this particular toy, you will quickly notice how small his/her teeth are in relation to the toy, and you will probably be surprised by the leverage and power he/she puts into each bite. They gnaw, they gnash, they continue to work at it until those tiny teeth lose the battle against the tough Nylabone. Comparing this to human teeth, everyone knows someone who fractures/cracks a tooth somehow. That's because our front "chicklet" teeth bite down on something hard, get broken from falling on your face, getting hit in the mouth, having teeth weakened by cavities, and from not seeing a dentist/hygienist on a regular basis--usually because we're afraid of a little pain.
We're always looking for relatively tough dental toys for our 182 pound Cane Corso named Dante. He tears apart any toy we buy him, usually in a matter of minutes. But this particular Nylabone Dura Chew has survived for months now. If you look at the size of his teeth, length and thickness, you will see a dog with the teeth and jaw muscles strong enough to tear the hood off your car--which is exactly what he did to our Prius. So if your dog is capable of ripping hoods off cars, this treat should be good for your pet monster. Just keep an eye on the toy so that you can toss it before it breaks down and is swallowed.

Best Nylabone Fido & I Agree
My dogs love these Dino Nylabone's. Over the years I have bought at least 30 of these nylabones for 3 different dogs. Two of which have loved the Dino shaped Nylabones the best. The third loves the nylabone daily dental bone the best but the dino is a close second. The T-Rex is their favorite but they like all dino shapes. Depending on the dog's chewing mood these have lasted anywhere from a month to 6 months before needing replacing. My super chewing husky will chew one up pretty quickly in about a month, my moderate chewing pit bull would take 3-4 months and my slow light chewing shiba inu would take 6 or more months. I typically have 2-3 chewable items per dog (it helps prevent toy hoarding and aggression) and these dino toys are always among the favorites.
*These are chewing style nylabones they are not supposed to be consumed quickly as a snack or treat. I consider these like a hobby or activity for my dogs to do not something they eat or a toy they play with. Chewing is a natural part of dog behavior and is good for dental hygiene. Giving your dog items they are supposed to chew on is a good way to prevent your dog from chewing on things he isn't supposed to.*
These are the white nylabone material which is a tougher material than the beige color nylabones. The white nylabones should be used for aggressive chewers. Beige nylabones are good for light chewers.
The T-Rex is about 6" by 5" the Long neck is about 3.5" by 7 inches and the Stegosaurus is about 6.5" by 4" they all seem to last about the same amount of time.
I can usually get them for $4-5 on amazon which makes them one of the best deals for a chewing nylabone which is another huge plus.
Overall My dogs and I love the Dino Nylabones and I will buy them as long as they are made. Great Product

Dog loves it and it's very durable, but not indestructible
I have a dog with very strong jaws. She's only thirty-five pounds but she goes through most toys like they're bubblegum. Even as a small puppy, she would destroy anything and everything. By the age of five or six months we had to give up on soft and rope toys altogether, and at a year old, she is limited to only hard chews like Kong, Nylabone, etc. Even then, she destroys most of these with relative ease. She's gone through chews others have recommended as long-lasting in literally ten minutes. The only toy she has that has lasted more than a month or so is her original red Kong, which she mostly licks instead of chews.
I initially bought the dinosaur for my other, less toy-murderous dog, but the power chewer quickly stole it from him. She was in love. She carried it everywhere and chewed on it constantly. I'm not sure if it's the shape or the texture she likes, or some combination thereof, but whatever the case, it instantly became her favorite. Even the most durable hard toys normally only last a few weeks with her, but her dino is going on two or three months now. It's chewed beyond recognition, all the nubs worn down, and it's very rapidly nearing the end of its life because little bits of plastic are falling off, but it still lasted far longer than most toys do. A few weeks ago I bought her a second one, in a different shape, and she's equally as enamored with it. All in all, it's not going to be indestructible if you have a power chewer, but it certainly lasts a heck of a lot longer than most!

Tough enough to Survive the big, bad CHARLIE!
I purchased this for my 80 pound yellow lab, Charlie.
Charlie is a very powerful chewer. Toys typically last about 2.3 seconds in his grasp.
Since Charlie's toy budget had ballooned to a point where I had to choose whether to fulfill his appetite for destruction, or pay the mortgage, I knew something had to change.
This is how I came across this nylabone chew. It appeared tough enough that charlie may get at least an hour of play from this toy before it was destroyed. The price was reasonable enough that it fit within what was left of the depleted toy budget. So I bought it.
Two quick days later, and the box arrived. I gave the package to Charlie, and told him it was another new toy for him to destroy. The smell of the nylabone vented through the cardboard, and he started to wag. He tore open the box and found the bone inside. At this point, he is elated. I removed the packaging and told him to go at it.
That was weeks ago, and the dinosaur bone still has yet to be defeated. Sure, it is missing a few spines, and his tail is heavily chewed, but the bone is not yet destroyed. That isn't from a lack on trying on Charlie's part. He chews on the bone almost daily, and hasn't gotten tired of it yet!
If you have a big dog who's toy budget is getting out of control, buy this bone! Small bits will come off here and there, so if your dog likes to eat what he destroys, keep an eye on him. However, all of the small bits that have come off Charlie's bone thus far are small enough that they should pass no problem.
A great bone, and if they release similar bones in the future, Charlie will be a happy customer.

Dogs who chew will love this!
I have a puggle who chews all of the time, and she has been through a variety of Nylabone products, all of which she absolutely loved. I am a huge fan of anything Nylabone, and when I saw this one, I immediately had to get it for her because not only did it look like something she would love, but the design promotes good dental health. She has had it for a month now, and she is constantly chewing on it. Not only has it helped to keep her teeth clean, but it is much more durable than other Nylabone toys. She chews it every day, carries it around and drops it all over the place, and it has barely worn at all. I highly recommend this toy for dogs who love to chew!
I do have to share one negative to this toy though.... if your dog likes you to "tug" with them for their toys, this one isn't for you. It hurts to grab and pull on it. Not much of a negative, but I want to give a fair review, so if you are looking for a strong tug toy, go with a smooth surfaced large Nylabone and save your hands some pain :)
