It is meant to be on while driving. But it does flap in the wind a bit. Not as noticeable because there is already a LOT of wind noise with the tent on. The only thing to scratch on the tent is the anodized aluminum as the top of the tent is covered with a material. Without the cover the tent we...
@jdrouin That set up looks awesome! Are you happy with the tent? I am very pleased. There was a black/orange two person sleeping bag on Prime Day I picked up today:

I installed by BADASS stock roof rack wind deflector, kind of a PITA. No directions and missing hardware. But nothing a trip to Home Depot can't fix. And, we went camping over the weekend.
It is installed on the stock Ford roof rack, on the cross bars, it is mounted on the most forward mount and the aft mount (I have three crossbars. I had bought a third one off of Amazon, so the 3rd - center mount - is just there for emotional support). Reaching the back mounting brackets was a...
I just installed the Freespirit Aspen Lite on my stock roof rack. 110lbs, really happy with the quality and very comfortable. I haven’t been out in the woods with it yet but I did spend the night in it out in the driveway!
I have to get back out there and straighten it out a bit. It's a little crooked now that I take a second look. This tent also is within the Dynamic weight limit of the roof rack and vehicle. Every other tent is 50 or 60 pounds (at least) heavier. There IS increased wind noise, but I have the...
You can use any of the openings as a door. I have it set up to enter the rear or the drivers side with the supplies ladder and attachment point hardware.
I slept in it last night. Very comfortable mattress and the tent material is near blackout material. Vents at top meant no condensation in the tent in the morning despite the cool temperature.plenty of head room. I’m 5’9” and when sitting cannot touch the overhead.
My tent arrived Wednesday. Got it put on last night, Very impressed. Fit very well on stock roof rack. You can place the ladder to go in the rear of the vehicle or either side. Mattress is pretty comfortable too!
