*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Yep, that's what I had to replace and was sweating bullets the whole time because I didn't want to screw up the teeth. It's been a few years, and I can't find the product that I used, but it crimped on.

I accept responsibility for breaking the zipper I was trying to be helpful

 

No good deed goes unpunished...

 

should have said fuck it and drove to Myrtle beach as planned

 

Dont tellll meh wut to do sista

 

Not ours it looks like but we do have some zipper heads if you need. You wont find them in the US, as the difference between China and the Us is like metric to standard. Let us know if you need help.

 

bumped to see this I'll start working on this claim!

 

I had the same thing happen with mine, tepui sent me a whole new zipper assembly (like to sew on...) But I just slide the old one off at the end and stole the zipper thingy off the new one they sent and done. You can try some alteration shops to see if they can match the zipper size but I'm sure whoever you bought the tent from can get you a replacement

After that happened I was much more cautious with keeping the extra material out of the zipper and getting it stuck

 

Nah, just undo those small clips at the end of the zipper tracks so you can pull the zipper all the way off

 

That's what I was thinking. JB Weld a ring on the zipper pull and use a piece of string to pull it. Good temporary solution until you get a new zipper pull.

 

For those of you with a bed rack!! How are you storing things? I had a toolbox before my bed rack but can't fit it any longer. What do I do?

 

Plano storage boxes.

 

I still haven't gotten my tent out of the box or ordered a rack, but this is how we've been storing gear when we ground camp:

* A husky job box chained to the a tie down in the bed that holds things of moderate value (camp stove, lantern, camelbaks, some of the more expensive sailing gear)

* A couple of cheap Rubbermaid totes for things that I don't care about walking away (food, clothes, blankets, folding chairs, beach towels, spare boat parts)

* The more expensive stuff rides in a smaller tote in the back seat (GPS, cameras, iPad)

 

Drawer

 

I wish. Lol
