    I wouldn't say making them but bringing an affordable hardshell rtt to the market, nothing really new or exciting besides a competitive price to a soft-shell RTT but with hardshell benefits. But I am working on an aluminum hardshell tent, that will be something new and exciting imo :thumbsup:

    Fiberglass Hardshell tent, Black shell/dark green fabric, affordable price. By the end of this upcoming week I should have tent in hand with an idea of all costs to make sure if its something I want to continue with, pending quality of said tent and pricing per

    I've noticed your interest in a hardshell tent in the past and was going to reach out but figured I would get my ducks in a row first

    All good! Yea, I have been interested in one kinda like an Autohome or something, one that can be somewhat aerodynamic more. I really don't need all the fancy with an Annex and everything, just as long as it sleeps well and can fit at least myself being 6'3" and one other person that is all that matters.

    Finally getting to see some progress. The canopy is finished, its in pieces waiting for powder coat. The bed is waiting on a couple of pieces to finish it up and will be sent off together for some semi gloss black. Had to put my aluminum hardshell tent on hold, the timeline for production was too long so I had to put a pause and get a fiberglass wedge tent in its place. Not how I wanted it to go but I really want to get this bed and canopy in my possession for Expo East.

    Still waiting on my hardshell tent, but hopefully by tomorrow or friday :fingerscrossed:

    Calling again today to see if it made it in, hopefully. Gonna look it over, might make a short video and a comparison video against a soft shell rtt. Get a nights sleep in it to see how well it vents, moisture build up, wind flapping, and get some pictures. Probably be up for sale within a week or two and a group buy following shortly after :thumbsup:

    Works for me! So it is Fiberglass correct? Full pop up or the triangle style where one side hinges?

    Well I am excited to see what you are getting and everything, still thinking about a hardshell RTT.

    Would you be able to mount tracks to it to potentially use it to mount a solar panel to it?
