*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

I just went out and measured again and I'm exactly 12" from the back glass to the first upright of the rack. With the tent mounted I'll have about 3" less. If you guys are saying 9" is not enough room to deploy the window I still have time to re-drill my rails to slide the tent back just a hair. I really appreciate the feedback guys.

 

Just for reference:

 

i lack the motivation to open all 4 openings. usually two, often just one.

 

Kinda same here, I normally open 3, just not the window facing the cab.

 

My original motivation for moving the tent close to the cab is that I plan to use my tailgate area for a kitchen. Because of that I also bought an awning that will mount to the back of the rack and stretch over the kitchen area. Maybe I'll just cut my side rails down and drill 2 sets of mounting holes so it can be mounted far forward or midway back. I'm new to the rtt thing and just assumed Id need that cab facing window open.

 

If you were closer, I'd definitely be interested. GLWS

 

my tent will also be for sale soon. But the distance part still doesnt help

 

I don't think you have enough rotopaxs

 

Yeah I have a tent on my topper already but I've been debating going to a bed rack to get it lower on the truck. Still undecided what I want to do because the topper is super convenient to have.

 

What are you going with after RTT?

 

I had that debate with myself but like the shell too much so I put the RTT on a little trailer.

 

I want this tent. It folds to a much flatter area

This guy does 10 day explorations in the Applachain mountains here in VA. He says with the trailer he gets 3mpg. He is supercharged also. And all of his trunk and back seat is filled with fridges, solar stuff.. way more than anyone can imagine!

 

Jesus... and I was complaining with my 12 MPGs

 

I get around 14 on the highway. I am also regeared to 4.56. I have a bunch of weight too.

Ill dig up more pics of this guys truck. I met him at the place where I get my alignments

 

Sweet, really interested to see what he has going on

 

I ran into him on different days. Can you spot the weed waxker mounted? He told me the g/o mix rotopax is for his chainsaw

 

All the accessories he has going on is making my OCD kick in

 

thats a lotta fluids

 

Damn near needs hazmat placards!
