Vehicle Tent/DJ Question

[redtomatoman]

Does anyone use a vehicle tent with their DJ? Which one? How's the fit. Any paint damage? Anything that I should know? I am thinking about getting one but I'm not sure if there is any real advantage over my regular camping tent. Just wondering what other's experience is. Also, my main question is how the DJ will do with the rear gate door open all night or for extended periods of time. Will this wear on the battery? I know our DJs wake up whenever a door is opened or anything is changed in any way. TIA.

Peace.

You can disable the interior lights altogether by rotating the rheostat on the dash all the way down. This way, the lights don't wake up if you open a door. From the owner's manual:

Dimmer Control

The dimmer control is part of the headlight switch and is

located on the left side of the instrument panel. Rotating th

dimmer control upward with the parking lights or headlights

on will increase the brightness of the instrument panel

lights, door map pockets and cupholders (if equipped).

Dome Light Position

Rotate the left dimmer control completely upward to the

second detent to turn on the interior lights. The interior

lights will remain on when the dimmer control is in this

position.

Interior Light Defeat (OFF)

Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom off

position. The interior lights will remain off when the

doors are open.

Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness Feature)

Rotate the dimmer control upward to the first detent.

This feature brightens all text displays such as the

odometer, EVIC (if equipped), and radio when the parking

lights or headlights are on.
