Can you shut and lock the hatch back at night for security with this tent attached?

Yes. But make certain you have the keys with you. We did that one night, but both of ours keys were still in the car! Thankfully, we were backyard camping lol. You can also leave the hatch open and lock the car, at least on 2012 Honda Pilot you can, would depend on the model of car I suppose.

Yes you can, but you'll need to either (1) unhook the (3) straps that hold the bottom of the tunnel up against the bottom of your vehicle or (2) at least loosen their tension enough, so the hatch will close. (but ease of doing this will depend on whether your vehicle will require you to use the elastic loops or the nylon straps with hooks and then how much tension will exist overall.I've never had the need to do it, but we went from a Nissan Murano, to a Quest, to now a Pathfinder and each required the use of different combos of these for attachment. But I think you'll be able to do it. It might not be all that convenient, but doable, yes.

Yes, you can disconnect a support strap and close your trunk no problem. You can even zip the tent closed while attached to the car.

Absolutely! If you don't have some air coming in the tent eventually the oxygen will be used up. You just can't have an airtight tent or you will wake up dead. It's great for heat and very efficient.

Yes and no. The yes part has to do with a built in "hold button" that overrides the night auto-close function but the "no" part is that when it starts getting dark the unit will override the "hold" button and close the garage door anyway. Note: If you have a need to override that also (if it's getting dark-ish) and you STILL want to keep the garage door open ANYWAY, simply switch off the power using the built-in on-off switch and that will totally disable the unit - you can keep the door open as long as you like. I've had mine for several years now and it works great. Hint: When installing the unit, put it in a place where it can easily "see" the outside light levels. If you bury it deep inside your garage, it will "think" its dark all the time or that sundown is coming much sooner than is appropriate. Hope that helps ya..

No cannot. Because this tent cot has a heavy duty zipper that attaches to the tent.

Yes, it can. We camped in the redwoods and had to hike into our site and leave our car. The tent opening that attaches to the vehicle hatch also can zip up completely. It looks just like a regular tent then. Another feature I didn't realize until we used the tent, was that when it is attached to the car, you can close the hatch and lock your car with the tent still intact and connected to your car. This was great for leaving the campsite.

This cover does not lock. You pull it out like a window shade and slides into slots on both sides. There is about a 2 inch gap between the back seats and where the cover starts - apparently some back seats recline requiring this space so there is limited visibility in that 2 inch space unless you cover the front edge of your cargo or modify the cover. My mechanic said most are designed like that due to the reclining seats. This is a deterrent, not secure if someone gains entry to the vehicle.

No, there is no lock on the cover, but if your tailgate locks it would work. You can't open the cover without lowering the tailgate. However it is a softcover so it could always be cut open with a knife.

Yes, but I cover it with a piece of dark tape. It's the noise, relatively speaking, that could keep you up at night.

Our tent is not up right now but as I remember it there are 3 windows (two front & one back) with flaps that open and stay open with velcro if needed. Yes they can sleep in it. No zippers. The opening on the front (the pink door) has a flap on each side for a child to crawal though with velcro to hold it open or shut.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

I would be reluctant to use in a tent especially if you are planning to leave it on while you sleep.

The cover itself does not lock. It clamps from inside/ underneath. If your tailgate locks, it's fairly secure. Of course, if a thief really wants in, the could cut it open through the top.

No. Get one that locks. I had mine almost stolen. Good thing we parked close to wherey kids were playing and one of them saw somone trying to take the cargo carrier off my jeep.

There's a hole for locking it closed but no holes to cable lock it to a tree or stand.Hope that answers you questions.It is a stealth can. No lite, no noise.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

If you can find it for sale somewhere, yes. It come on and off and isn't attached permanently to other pieces of the tent.

I don't think so. The tent depends on resting on an open hatchback. Not to say you can't jury rig it up it!
