Rooftop Tent Trailer Review: Let’s Go Aero Edition

LittleGiant Trailer with a Roof Top Tent

Glamping has become the buzzword in the camping universe. For those who've been living under a rock (or, let’s be fair, a tent), it’s camping’s fancier cousin—complete with all the mod cons. Think of it like a five-star hotel that accidentally took a wrong turn and set up in the middle of the woods. Now, the rooftop tent trailer has joined the glamping entourage, delivering a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and adventure.

Our Let’s Go Aero camping trailers — including the LittleGiant and Spec Ops — take this high-end camping revolution to the next level. By pairing a rooftop tent with a trailer, our customers have unlocked the secret to keeping their basecamp intact while still roaming free. But even the most luxurious camping setups have their quirks — and traditional rooftop tents come with one big catch that can cramp your adventure style.

The Problem with Traditional Rooftop Tents

Picture this: you’ve claimed the most idyllic spot by a lake. Tent’s up, gear’s organized, and you’re in full Zen mode. Then the hiking trail calls your name, or your kayak is sighing from the shoreline. With a traditional vehicle-mounted rooftop tent, you face two options:

  1. Skip the day’s adventure, or
  2. Pack up your entire campsite (cue dramatic music), only to set it all back up later.

No thanks.

Here’s the thing about traditional rooftop tents — they’re commitment devices. Once your tent is open, your vehicle is stuck on house duty. Want to grab groceries in town, hit a scenic overlook, or escape a sudden storm? You’ll need to tear everything down first. And if you’re in bear country, the constant packing and unpacking of food and gear isn’t just tedious — it’s a car camping safety concern you can’t ignore. It’s a hassle and a hazard — which is exactly why a rooftop tent trailer changes the game.

That’s why a rooftop tent trailer changes the game. By putting your tent on a Let’s Go Aero camping trailer instead of your vehicle, you keep your basecamp intact while your tow vehicle is free to roam — no ladder folding, no campsite chaos, and no race against the sunset.

How Let’s Go Aero Rooftop Tent Trailers Solve the Problem

That’s where the superhero team-up comes in: a Let’s Go Aero rooftop tent trailer paired with our Heavy-Duty Trailer Base Rack. Instead of your vehicle being trapped under your tent, this setup gives it the freedom to roam while your basecamp stays perfectly intact.

The base rack mounts securely to your Let’s Go Aero camping trailer, creating a stable, elevated platform for your rooftop tent — keeping you high, dry, and well above anything that slithers, crawls, or scurries. Want to hike, grab lunch in town, or chase that sunset drive? Go ahead. Your tent and gear will be right where you left them when you return.

No wasted time, no campsite chaos — just the freedom to come and go as you please. For a deeper dive into how the setup works (and why it’s a total game-changer), check out our Trailer Rack guide.

More Flexibility, Less Fuss: Keep Your Vehicle Free

And the icing on the camping cake? A rooftop tent trailer means your tow vehicle is always ready for action — whether it’s a quick trip into town, a spontaneous detour down a scenic dirt road, or an emergency marshmallow run (you can never have too many). No dismantling your camp, no repacking your gear — just pure, go-anywhere freedom.

So, why the fuss over Let’s Go Aero trailers? Well, it’s like asking why dogs are better than cats (kidding, cat people). Our utility trailers are light as a feather (okay, a bunch of feathers) yet tough as nails, making it a breeze to haul your gear. They offer ample room for all your camping toys without turning your vehicle into a slowpoke, giving you the best of both worlds: a comfortable, elevated sleeping space and a mobile basecamp with gear capacity that stays put while you explore.

Mounting Your Rooftop Tent: Easy Setup with Let’s Go Aero

Most rooftop tents mount snugly to the trailer’s Heavy-Duty Trailer Base Rack a rooftop tent rack that uses its sturdy C-Channels for a secure fit to create the ultimate overlanding camper.

Once installed, popping up your tent at camp is as easy as flipping pancakes, and stowing it away when it’s time to hit the road is just as quick. If you’re a first-time trailer owner, don’t forget there are a few basics to cover — our How to Register Your Trailer guide walks you through the simple steps to make it official.
