Tentbox/Rooftents. Any one bought one?

Numerous examples and businesses popping up. Looking for any real life experiences. In my head it would be wild camping but with a bit more comfort but I might be off the mark.

They look like great value and just seen one from a company called Gritt for £850.

Pictures of them in action would be great!

I have a Tentbox. Outside of the high initial cost, I'd give it good praise.

You can of course buy a tent for much cheaper, or a campervan for much more.. I see them as a bit of a middle ground. I wanted comfort (+warmth since they're off the ground) and ease of unpacking.. And I didn't want a van.

Recently spent a few days in Scotland when some friends rented a small farmhouse - weren't enough bedrooms for us but no problem, into the tent we went. Have parked at a few campsites, few wild-camp spots...

Thanks for that, you summed up my thoughts on it as well. Just worried I will spend the money and then it ends up sitting unused but that’s on me to make use of it.
