At this point, you’ll stuff in any other fabric so that it’s inside the shell, and then finish closing the shell, locking it in with the external clips. You may find that you’ll need to open your car door to get the leverage needed to reach this strap, as it’s just a bit short. There’s a bungee cord that runs from the front to the back that is used to hold in the main tent material, and once this is locked in, you can use the strap at the top of the hardshell to pull it down until the tent is nearly closed. You’ll want to roll up the rainfly and remove any tension poles, then use the ladder to fold up the extension panel and collapse it on top. Teardown of the Condor XL will take just a few seconds more. We found the setup process for the Skycamp 2.0 to be slightly more elegant and faster due to the way its rainfly is integrated (no need for unrolling), though we had no significant issues with the Roofnest system. To deploy the rainfly/awning, you’ll need to climb inside the tent and reach through the skylight to unclip and unroll the fly over the tent, then use the tension poles to elevate it over the doorway. Next, you’ll reach up and pull out the attached ladder, using it to flip open the extension panel, then secure it to the ground at a near 90° angle with the collapsed rungs at the top and the open rungs at the bottom. You’ll first unclip the latches and push up the side of the hardshell, allowing the gas struts to take over and open the remainder. The Condor XL can be completely deployed in just over a minute the setup process is relatively straightforward and can be carried out by just one person. The covers for each side window can be quickly converted into awnings using the included tension poles, while the deployable rainfly can be converted into an extra-large awning over the entryway using a pair of longer tension poles. The rear wall has no window, as it is obstructed by the hardshell cover.
ROOFNEST SPARROW WINDOWS
The passenger-side entryway also acts as a large window with two smaller windows flanking it on either side and a skylight window above. While this may be true, we felt that 3 adults (or 2 adults and 2 children) were a more appropriate maximum capacity to avoid feeling too claustrophobic.
Roofnest has stated that the Condor XL will accommodate 3-4 adults. Still, its clamshell design means a dramatic drop-off in the ceiling after you pass the front entryway. The Roofnest Falcon actually delivers slightly more headroom (60”). Only the iKamper Skycamp 2.0 comes close in terms of square footage (43.2), with 5” less headroom. Its interior dimensions of 93″ x 74″ give it a whopping 47.8 sq ft of space, with a peak height of 50″. The Condor XL is the largest RTT in our review by a country mile.
