Superb review from @4x4North for the new Femkes JoyCee. Translated below (Thank you Google Translate) original can be seen here https://www.instagram.com/p/ChP9KyItNsw/
Then we are finally here, the holiday is over and the test is also over.
Just before this year's big trip, I got in touch with @norwegianexplorervans where I was able to borrow the very latest tent from @femkesrooftoptents, Femkes Joycee! In exchange for being allowed to borrow a tent, I have now tested the tent to find out if this is a tent that can be recommended for long and hard trips, but also for those who go on short weekend trips. And I can already say that there is not much to complain about this tent! So now after a long trip where it has been dragged through forest and fields, mud, scrub and mountains, the feedback finally comes!
After the first night in the tent, I must say that it lived up to all expectations. It is quick to set up and easy to pack up again. The tent comes with a thick tempur mattress which is one of the best standard mattresses in a roof tent that I have tested. The mattress is comfortable to lie on, even if you lie on your side. There is also plenty of space to pack up the tent with duvet and pillows. The cloth is opaque, which is a big plus up north with long bright nights. I have not experienced any condensation either on the sheet, on the ceiling or under the mattress.
I have now used it for over 2 weeks straight and only had two days of sun, otherwise it has only been a lot of rain and wind.
The water bounces nicely off the canvas and I haven't found a drop of water inside, even when I packed the tent so soft. Every other tent I've tried has gotten damp on the inside if I pack it up wet. There is also little flapping in the canvas in strong winds.
The tent also has many nice features, such as that the roof piece can be removed completely, unfolded as a larger roof or used as shown in the pictures. It comes with a shoe bag, which is also tight in bad weather so it keeps your shoes dry. You also get a "shelf" system that you can hang up inside. The gas springs can be locked in position if there is to be a heavy storm or large amounts of snow so that it does not collapse in the middle of the night while you sleep.
The design of the shell is aerodynamic and has little effect on fuel consumption. The tent itself is incredibly light and you hardly notice it's there while driving.
So can I recommend the tent to someone?
The answer YES!
