*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Nice... As soon as you have pics of all the new features, post them up! Depending on cost and how everything looks I may be down to trade for a newer one.

 

And since I'm here I might as well post a pic of my most recent camp.



And we had a few camp visitors that night...

 

I think it was @MTgirl who bolted it to the floor? Can't remember exactly

 

Oddly enough I put a hole in the velcro strap in each corner under the matress that's supposed to keep the matress in place. Then I zip tied the condensation mat through that hole. It's been like that for a year with no issues.

 

Sounds like a familiar list of features. :dunno:

 

I recently acquired a CVT Mt. Rainier. It is used and has a few minor issues that I can manage, however, the one thing that bugs me is it has clear windows. Two of the side windows are clear plastic. I plan on using some 3M backed Velcro strips and use some black out curtain material to cover them up. I was just curious if anyone else had this style of windows and if they modded up something better to block out the light and/or add privacy.

 

I got no beef with the seller, he was good Army kid. He set it up when I showed up to buy it and pointed out all the minor issues. I was just too freaking excited to finally be getting an RTT to notice the clear windows

 

No she is just saying that instead on trying to fasten it to the floor with the velcro. To just fold the mattress and mat over. That way when you go to open it stays folded over when you open it. You then climb up and unfold it. That way it won't get caught in the hinge part. I've started doing it this way also because my mattress kept getting stuck and didn't want to lose my fingers. Hope this makes sense

 

One feature I really like about the eezi awn is the two piece mattress. It eliminates alot of the folding issues. At first I thought it was going to hinder sleep because the pads would separate but the cover holds them together nicely and it works well.

 

I've got your back

 

We take 3- 1x3" straps like aluminum. we drill holes in them and put a self tapping screw through them into the floor to hold the mat to the tent only on the ladder side. You will want to hit the joist in the floor.

 

Thank Bobby,

I called you as someone had mentioned in a post after mine. We had talked about meeting at Overland Expo.

I apologize for not posting back in this thread after you graciously offered to get me a new tent. I have not read this thread again until just now. Thank you again!


Joe

 

From what we have done and installed ..Yes. We put the strips at the end of the tent by the ladder and it has worked well. If you still have issues with it after this please let me know.

 

A few pictures from my month long trip out west last fall to show how much use we get out of ours. My wife calls it our tree house! Lol

 

Tepui has a honeycomb floor? I hadn't seen that.

 

Tepui Ayer on the way!!
