    You're not supposed to treat the canvas of the tent, it needs to breathe. That said you should take the mattress out and soak the tent with water a couple times to let the stitching swell/seal.
    I do use a waterproofer and uv protestant on the fly. Gimme a minute to find it....

    I'm not sure I could survive in wetter climates. Sounds like way too much work. lol.

    The three or four times we get "rain" here in southern California is plenty enough.

    For CVT owners...are there holes in the middle to add additional mounts? Planning on mounting a Mt Rainier to a Leitner Designs bedrack with a third crossbar in the middle

    After owning several different soft sided RTT's, I finally upgraded to an autohome airtop

    I just bought my first RTT. A tepui Kukenam Ruggedized And i am about to mount it to My 2013 tacoma. I have the factory roof rack. I am wondering if they will fit and if they are strong enough for the tent + my girlfriend and me. I have been looking online and can find anything. Is there anybody that have this set-up and confirm me that it works fine? I dont want to bend my roof or break my rack...
    Thanks
    Alexis

    I've seen a few people run this set up. It's a little high up. One thing to make sure is that the mounting brackets are long enough so that each hole (for the bolts) is far enough apart to clear the OEM cross bars

    Ripped part of the zipper off on my CVT annex room when unzipping it, it came off right where the zipper starts, about an inch of it is off now :(

    Soak it with water even though CVT says to dry it as soon as possible after being exposed to rain? Lol

    Spray it with water so the material soaks it up then let it dry?
