Need more room in your RTT, James Baroud Family Room adds that extra space for the road

Who doesn’t love a little extra living space in the wilderness? If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for additional room to comfortably accommodate your family of four (or more) during camping trips, the James Baroud Family Room is a welcome addition to your adventures. It creates that much-needed room you desire, connecting to your rooftop tent where you can see your kids playing, have the respite of accommodating additional guests, or a teenage kid who doesn’t want to share the bed in the RTT.

James Baroud Family Room, which made its first appearance at the recently concluded Overland Expo West, is designed by virtue of being a comfortable, additional space that connects to your existing camping setup and transforms into a family-friendly living area in a jiffy. Of course, when the utility is immense, the features have to add up. The Family Room is a feature-packed living area with four walls and even a floor, not just a temporary awning!

Designer: James Baroud

What really makes this tent contraption distinct from anything that we have seen before in the market is its convenience of approach: You can directly access it from a rooftop tent through a tunnel (a covered pass-through from inside to the tent). Even though James Baroud has not limited the usage and compatibility, the Family Room is ideally well-suited with James Baroud’s own rooftop tents, for many obvious reasons. To make things more interesting and appropriate, the 95 lbs Family Room’s walls and flooring can zip off for cleaning and storage. A zippered opening in the rear of the room is another access to your vehicle parked alongside, without having to step outside in the open.

It is very effortless to set up and dismount (each process takes only 4 minutes), is made from high-quality scratch-resistant fabric and is purpose-built for traveling with kids and pets. So, as the company puts it, “every detail of the Family Room was designed with families in mind,” and it’s evident from the fact that the space is very spacious, measures 118 inches wide, 87 inches long, and 79 inches high, and can accommodate your gear with people inside.

Fascinatingly, the lightweight design of the Family Room doesn’t take up any storage space inside the camper, when it’s dismounted and ready for travel. It folds down into a compact awning-like form factor and can seamlessly attach to the roof rack. While you may be ready to spend what it takes to get this additional room for your camping setup now; the James Baroud Family Room will officially be available starting mid-July only. When it does, it is likely to retail for about $1,600, which isn’t a bad deal at all!
