Gazelle Tents - T3X Hub Tent Overland Edition

Gazelle t3x or t4 would be perfect. Sets up easily.

Yeah i have one, will probably never use it again, love my gazelle though

I’ve tried everything to avoid putting a rooftop tent on my Jeep, and the best solution I’ve found is my Gazelle T3X tent. It’s compact enough not to take up too much room in the Jeep, and once you get the hang of it, it sets up in just 1-2 minutes. Since it’s separate from the vehicle, I can go for rides or move the Jeep without packing up everything or rearranging my gear. My friends with RTTs may have a slight edge in setup and teardown time, but it’s only by a few minutes. Plus, having the tent on the ground gives me space to stand up, change clothes, and enjoy a bit more room than some RTTs offer. Exact tent I use personally and enjoy: [GAZELLE T3X TENT LINK](https://gazelletents.com/collections/3-person-tents/products/t3x-hub-tent-overland-edition)

T3x gazelle is fine or whatever smallest option of gazelle. I have t4 and it easily fits two adults with double sleeping pad (room to stand and change huge upgrade from my old coleman), gear, pad for medium sized dog and room to run a diesel heater tube no problem.

Backpacking 1P or 2p ultra light setup. Car camping I have a 3 person gazelle that I can stand up in. I bring a mega mat and a cot, a little folding side table. Whatever fits in the car is coming with me lol.

I have a gazelle T3. I camped on a beach through a decent storm, 20-30mph winds roughly. It was definitely moving around a lot, but it held up with big long aftermarket stakes and tight guy lines. There’s 8 anchor points around the bottom and four guy line anchor points to support the sides. Edit: yes the doors are a little annoying to step out of.

Gazelle tents will have something to fit your needs… They are bulky but nice, my wife and i use a variant of the T3… We also nixed the idea of a rtt, too many pitfalls…

If you want easier setup I would recommend the Gazelle T3 or T4 (depending on your size preference). Super easy to setup and very well built for price.

Started with the t3 and liked it so much I got a T4 as well.

I also have seperate setups for backpacking vs car camping. Nowadays ultralight backpacking gear is so expensive and thin, that using it for car camping is a waste of its limited durability. These thin materials only have a finite lifespan on them. Given your height, a Gazelle T3 or T4 would work well, those style of tents will have the highest headroom and usable space. They pack up pretty large though, so it depends on your vehicle space.

Gazelle t3 or the 4. Awesome tents and extremely easy to put up alone. The biggest drawback is you will need to mount to the rails on your vehicle. Unless you got a pickup.

I use a gazelle hub tent.  

How many people are you traveling with? If it's just you, or you and another person who is not huge, just setup a sleeping platform in the 4Runner. Tents that setup on the ground but attach the the vehicle have always felt kinda gimmicky to me, and to some degree the worst of both worlds. If you don't sleep in the rig just get a quality fast deploy ground tent like the Gazelle.

Gazelle would be the way to go. It's a hub tent, so all you have to do is unfold it and pop out the sides and roof. Then stake and guy out like normal. I use cam straps which are even easier. Gazelle doesn't have a 6 person, so 8 person T4 plus is what you would be after, or the 7 person T-Hex Hub Tent. Insanely easy to deploy, just long and heavy. I have the T8 (discontinued) and the T4. Both have treated me very well.

I will say that I have two Gazelle hub tents and never had a problem with this. There is a small gap where the main zipper meets the bottom but even after a week camping, it is no more the usual bugs than in regular tents.

Every time we set the gazelle up someone asks about it. I think 3 or 4 couples have bought one after seeing ours. T4 is perfect for a couple with a dog. Air mattress or two cot setup would work great and there are two doors so you don’t have to step over each other to use the head in the middle of the night.
