Have had a rooftopper for just on six years now & it has been setup & packed up hundreds of times. Probably 10 minutes to setup & 20 to pack. Iv`e got the annex to go with mine, hardly us it, but it takes only 5 minutes to attach & comes in handy on those wet days. If staying somewhere for more than a couple of days then a tent is a better option as it leaves the vehicle free to use.

I`m 6` 4", 140 kg & on the wrong side of 50 & also have back problems, but I still prefer setting up the RTT than putting up my 8 man tent!. Rooftoppers are also ideal if the ground is rocky, sandy or covered in burrs. Also cooler up of the ground in summer & warmer than on the ground in winter. Downside......having 60 kg on the roof all the time & having to climb up & down a ladder in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

Horses for courses I suppose depending on how you plan to travel.

Rooftopper is ideal when the ground (granite) is too hard to put a peg in!
