I've been surfing various off-road sites and have noticed that all have various numbers of posts about roof-top-tents (RTT). Why is anyone willing to spend over 1,000 and as much as 2,000 on a roof-top-tent?
I can see it if you're in Africa but I've been camping for over 40 years and can not see any reason for spending that much money, adding that much weight (most seem to weigh between 100 and 150 pounds) and putting that much baggage just to replace an 80-150 dollar ground tent that works great (and has for decades). So help me realize why there's any need for something so seemingly over-the-top.

I forgot to mention the lions and tigers, oh my!
