How quick is it to setup/takedown?
It's a campingLab medium tent. Setup and takedown is pretty quick (maybe 5 minutes). If you have a much higher budget, you can get hard-top ones which weigh less, set-up quicker, and last longer like this one.
I found out about them through this guy that's travelled all over Africa, Europe, and Asia in his 300TD:

I kind-of want to copy him, only using a Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel wagon, instead of the 300TD- mostly because the Volvo live axle rear suspension is tougher and lower maintenance, and has numerous cheap locking differential options.
The downside of the roof tent/station wagon expedition/camping rig is I don't see it scaling that well for more than 2 people.
