I am glad that I decided to go with Top Oak Galaxy 1. It’s well built, has all the features I needed, easy setup, put away. My only concern is the plastic top: how well will it endures the elements? I guess only time can tell.
Overall a happy consumer.
The Galaxy 1.0 is a great hard shell roof top tent. The quality definitely rivals the equivalent higher priced roof top tents. Really easy to open and close. Only takes about two minutes to set up and about the same to take down. Lots of pockets on the inside to store phones, wallets, ect.., and two shoe bags to hang on the outside to keep dirty shoes out of the sleeping area. Has a nice folding ladder that is easy to use and has a nice storage bag for when it is collapsed. Would recommend this tent for anyone that is on a budget or just doesn't like spending too much for something when you can get the same quality for much less.
Came in a sturdy wooden crate which prevented damage to the unit despite the crate looking like it saw some rough handling by the freight company. Comfortable and just what I wanted. Install directions could be better, but if you are buying this, I'm guessing you are handy enough to figure it out.
Easy to install, easy to set up and construction quality seems so far to be very good.
My only issue was when mounted on my TrailRax TRMR roof rack I get a loud whistle at highway speeds, but setting the Galaxy a few inches back solved that issue.
Customer Support Per-Order was great, received the tent two weeks ahead of the pre-order date. Despite the great shipping crate the carrier caused damage to the tent. TopOak made it right. Follow up was great. Really happy with the RTT. Highly recommend OakTop!
