Thule's new rooftop tent, the Widesky RTT, stands out for a bed section that folds back to be used like a sofa. It can also be mounted on a side-by-side, and its large rear opening lets occupants take in the view.
This is great. The most wasteful part of tent camping is only being able to enjoy a great view lying down. The Wideskye folds the bed back into a sofa. Arriving at a roadside station or campsite, coffee in hand, looking out at the sky through a big rear opening — that time is exactly the real pleasure of touring. Sleeping off the ground means an easier body the next day too. Makes you want to think about where to pitch next.

It says it can also be mounted on a side-by-side, is this something usable on a motorcycle too?
I think this is basically a product designed to be mounted on a vehicle roof, more of an item for four-wheel-based adventure than bike camping.
Bugs me that the article doesn't give concrete weight or price.
For the same category of rooftop tent, I'd want to compare it to other brands' staple models too.
The mechanism to convert into a sofa sounds handy, but I wonder if that adds extra weight or setup complexity.
Thule's always made this kind of gear with solid, no-nonsense build quality, a brand you can trust.
A rooftop tent with a built-in sofa, that's changing the standard for camping comfort.
I get that the view is nice, but with such a big opening I'm a little concerned about privacy and staying warm.
