Bundutec BunduTop King vs Bundutec BunduTop Standard+
Both of these are Bundutec tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The BunduTop King and the BunduTop Standard+ share Bundutec's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
By the numbers, the Bundutec BunduTop King brings 91 kg, 3.33 m² of floor and sleeps 3. The Bundutec BunduTop Standard+ counters with 80 kg, 3.05 m² of floor and sleeps 2.
The BunduTop Standard+ is 11 kg lighter at 80 kg against 91 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the BunduTop King gives 3.33 m² of sleeping floor against 3.05 m², about 9 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the BunduTop Standard+'s 2. The BunduTop Standard+ lists about 10% lower than the BunduTop King.
