$26 Coleman LED String Lights, String of 10 LED Lanterns Stretches 6 Feet, Up to 20 Hours Runtime

These little lights are absolutely perfect for RTTs and also for hanging under ez-ups. They run on 3 AAA batteries for weeks. I'm still on the same set of the first AAA's and I'm going on season 3 with these things. $17.99 shipped (if you have a Prime account). I now have a set for my RTT and another for under the awning. They put out enough light that we use them under our ez-up for a full poker game.

 

ordered those lights and got meh sleeping bag..

buy once cry once. its always been the motto.

 

I have that exact same bag for the RTT for me and the wife. We love it. We used to sleep in it in a ground tent and a queen size air mattress but the RTT floor is much more suited for keeping it from sliding around.

 

Sweet! seems to be a common bag, thats a good thing!

Anything you don't like about it?

 

So far, nothing to complain about yet. On hot summer nights in AZ, I sleep more on top of the bag than inside because it is warm. When I used it in my Tent Cot just by myself, I folded it in half and either slept under 1 layer or 3 layers depending on temps and it was luxury. In cool weather it has been great, especially when you have that extra body to keep you warm. I'm 6'1" and 240lbs and it fits me and her just fine. She's 5'5" and 140 and we fit just fine both length and width.

 

Now i want these haha

Sucks shipping to Canada is 10$

 

I like the lining of it alot, too. Holds in warmth like a flannel lining without being as heavy as flannel.

 

You won't regret it. Our whole camping crew now has them and we hang them all around on the trees around camp and light up the place. I store them in a clear dry box when not in use, and I store them with the batteries taken out so they don't leak.

 

Ill see if I can find the videos I used when I learned how to install my sound system. It's surprisingly simple. Good to know too.

 

Rack is almost ready for the Mt Bachelor to get thrown up on it. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll be camping in style.

 

Im prepping similar, looks good. The 2 bars do you find is solid enough? How thick is the tube? Also do you have any worry about flexing the side walls or anything?

 

I meant to say 3 bars, as i dont see other supports(corner tabs). Tried to edit and it wouldnt save for some reason

 

I'm not really worried, but if the bed pushes out or becomes damaged I have plans to pull the whole bed and go custom flatbed UTE route.

 

I think all i need for meh RTT is the condensation mat and i think I'm done.. I've covered all the general bases(sleeping bag, lights,) maybe get something to charge my phone in and i think it'll be good.

 

What mat(s) are you looking at? So far I have found these:

A little pricey but effectiveness comes before cost in my book.

 

Im buying the one direct from CVT, anyone use that one?

 

Oh shoot, that is perfect! Thanks for mentioning this.

 

I will soon be joining all of you as a happy RTT owner! The CVT group buy is in less than a week. I will most likely be getting a Mt Shasta with annex, the booty mat, and a 55 inch awning.
