Anyone using some kind of rooftop tent with their Equinox?

[QUOTE="GaryLaPointe, post: 29182, member: 7998"] I went traveling/camping this summer and setting up the tent is fine when I am staying for days, but sometimes campgrounds are more set up for RVs and don't have much of a flat spot for tents (and I don't know how bad until I get there). Sometimes, I'm just camping for the night and I'm arriving in the dark, I'd like to have a quick setup and quick take down, so I can pull in, sleep and head out. I see lots of items that say they fit the Equinox, but not a lot of photos on an actual Equinox. [B]Anyone have any experience with something like this, or can point me somewhere that might give me more specifics?[/B] From a weight perspective, it'd likely just be me and I'm 160 pounds. I've seen the 220 pound roof limit, but that's for driving, I don't know about the static limit (but I assume that would be way higher and could handle two people). I have the two rails on the roof of my 2020 Equinox, but also have the sunroof (which is a concern: because if something breaks, I'm breaking the glass, instead of denting the roof). EDIT: I see the one is 90", that would hang off the front quite a bit, or I'd have to remove the Equinox antenna off the back. Maybe I need one of the more complicated models that flip open and hang way off the roof. Looking at something like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-15 at 8.10.40 PM.png"]3319[/ATTACH] Which folds down in a hard case like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-15 at 8.10.54 PM.png"]3320[/ATTACH] Or maybe something bigger like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-15 at 8.17.05 PM.png"]3321[/ATTACH] Which I think folds down similarly. I'm not tied to these, but just wanted to share exactly what I was looking for. [/QUOTE]
