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.
