*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Hey @Box Rocket. Wondering if you can help me out here.

Used my tent on a night out this weekend and for some reason, the half-way lockout above the 5th rung of my ladder has stopped working on the left side. The ladder will still lock out at each full increment, but the half increment doesn't seem to want to lock on that side and this is generally the spot I use. Is there a way to fix this or will I need to buy a new ladder?

Thanks!

 

Got one!

 

Just saw this color on their instagram, looks awesome, congrats and welcome to the club! #CVTFamily

 

What tent model is that?

 

CVT Mt Shadta Summit Series.

 

Thanks! I like the grey color

 

Thanks! I bought it without seeing any pictures of the color and am really happy with it.

 

Similar color scheme as the Kukenam Sky model.

 

I thought I posted these. The tent is already off the truck as these cross bars were temporary

With a bed rack all the way to the inside of tailgate the overhang won't be anything to worry about

What model is that? Looks like the Smittybilt logo

P.S. You need to retire your flag....

 

I recently purchased and tested an Exped Megamat Duo 10 (air/foam mattress). Holy f*ck, what a comfortable night sleep, and it is the perfect size inside the tent (Tepui Autana). It is a bit pricey, $300+, but i have decided that a good night's sleep while out in the sticks is worth it's weight in gold.

 

Those things are so comfy. I laid on one in store at REI and was completely shocked how comfy it was. I was going to get one as a guest bed (not much room in my condo) but was shocked when I saw the price. Decided I can buy a whole memory foam mattress for that.

By far the most comfy thing I have ever slept on besides my bed. But not by much

 

it was retired this weekend actually!!

yep its the Smittybilt Overlander XL

so far I'm stoked with the tent. I had to do a couple quick fixes but all in all nothing to major

1. fix ladder edges so it slides and doesn't stick, remove all burs and sand down aluminum in a few spots
2. de bur all rod holes so they go into the slot on bottom of tent base quickly
3. de bur all corners as to not rip fabric
4. the side wall of the ladder side of the tent was starting to come out of the groove in the aluminum, that was a PITA to get back into the groove.

5. Im thinking of adding a tent pole for the overhang to push up the rain fly so that rain won't collect just behind the RTT aluminum pole that holds out the annex cover.

 

are there any members in Flagstaff AZ? I want to try and see multiple brands etc in person before I start comparing prices

I want a CVT but my wallet says Tepui and even then wants to kill me

 

I have a Tepui, but I want a CVT

I'm down in phx. sucks, cause i'll be in flag on Friday night, but the tent isn't on my truck currently

 

I was thinking the AYER but I want an annex. I have been looking for used but cant really find them
