Cascadia Vehicle Tents Roof Top Tents

I am in the market for one in the near future. I came across CVT and right away seemed like the company to go with, a user friendly website and lots of choices for RTT's.

Can't wait to pull the trigger on one for the Taco.
I don't know which model tho.... hmmm

What is it you like about yours? the Mt. Bachelor?
Thanks

 

I can't comment on the use of my tent as of yet since I just took delivery of it. What I can say is that after mounting it, and opening it up to inspect it...I am delightfully pleased with the quality of products used to make the tent as well as the construction of the tent.

As far as the customer service part...I was part of the group buy and Bobby did a superb job taking care of all of us who were part of that group buy. He even went above and beyond and delivered tents to guys in Moab, now that's top notch customer service! He also provided his cell phone number for those who had questions and couldn't get ahold of him at the business #. How many companies actually do that?


Would I recommend CVT to anyone wanting to purchase a RTT? Yes, not only because of the quality product they sell but also for the outstanding customer service Bobby and his staff provide!

 

I met Bobby in Moab where he delivered 5 tents to us during a wheeling trip. We met him in town and he followed us up to camp which involved 3 miles of washboard dirt roads and a steep rocky descent. He was towing a 30' trailer behind his f250
He had just driven 18 hours and insisted to not just hand us our tents and say good night, but to work past midnight to install everyone's tents so they could sleep comfortably.

He's a great guy and is working on offering more cool stuff and constantly looks to improve his products.

 

I've got a Mt. Hood.

It is like having a Condo on top of your truck.

I slept like a baby.

CVT FTMFW!!

I'd post up my pics but the iPad does not like doing it.

 

Sweet, great review MTgirl and insight on all that CVT has to offer. I am so stoked to buy a RTT and I think I will be using it so much. First event would probably be Watershed Festival at the Gorge in Washington State.

So what about the bed rack... doesn't have to go in depth but who did ya'll go with for a bed rack? I was liking Box Rocket's but not sure how long that would take to get ordered as he is on back order.

I really appreciate this thread being started!! thanks MTgirl

 

Ill be getting one for my M416 expedition trailer build. Can't wait!

 

I'll be getting in on the next group buy no matter what. Still kicking myself for not just doing it this time..

 

41.4092° N, 122.1949° W is in my near future

 

been a proud owner of a Mt. Shasta for over a year now, and its been all over the map, Interior BC, Alberta, Moab, Oregon coast, etc and I have 0 issues to report. It sets up quick, I can be parked, set up and asleep in under 5 mins! It paid off the first time I slept in it.

I also mounted my tent below the top of the cab (had custom bedbars made) and my gas mileage has hardly declined.

The upside is that I can keep 2 sleeping bags, 2 pillows and 1 duvet in the tent folded up without increasing the height of the tent. Makes falling asleep that much quicker! My gf and I have used it quite a bit, and there is more then enough room for both of us, and clothes without having to worry about space.

Just a few shots of the tent on the truck, and set up

Set up at a show and shine


Big +1 for Bobby and CVT!

 

No worries! There are so many different bonuses to the tents!

I do have one question, who have played with different patterns with the bungee cords to help collapse the tent? I have tried 2 different patterns and seem to have one that works (crossing from top to bottom, from side to side), but just wondering if anyone has tried different patterns?

 

I know those socks.. I have a drawer full of tan and blue REI wool socks that my wife likes to wear. The nerve....

 

So the Shasta is about the same size as the Bachelor but comes standard with the awning? Is that the only difference?

Edit: Nvm it just comes with the 3 foot overhang

 

Correct, the Shasta is the same size as the Bachelor, but the Shasta does have the overhang, and it also comes with the annex zip in lower room.

Maybe MTgirl can post up a pic of her tent so you can see the difference between the Shasta and Bachelor.

 

So is the only benefit that the ladder is inside and there is a little bit more room on the inside? I'm just trying to debate if its worth the extra $400 and then if it is that much better why not just spend the extra $100 and get a Mt Hood lol. Too many choices..

Damn you TW, I wasnt even gonna mod my truck let alone buy a tent for it
