*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Looking to buy my first RTT. Have an opportunity to buy a Kukenam XL ruggedized for significantly less than new.

Question:
Have not even seen one up close before, what do I want to check to make sure it's in good condition?

 

I strap from my top rung to the bottom of my wheel...

 

Do you guys feel top heavy when rock crawling over 1-3 foot obstacles? Does it feel like it wants to roll over the the RTT L.

Thanks

 

not me, my bars are mid length allowing the bottom of the tent just a few inches below the roof line for reference. I'd bet it's quite extraordinary with a RTT above the cab, full rotopaxs, 5 pairs of Maxtrak's, killer spork, all hanging off of the sides of the bed rack. Then add solar panel(s) and over the cab length pelican cases...

 

I plan on building my own rack for an RTT around that height. Yours looks great.

Are there any specs for bar spacing I'd need to follow for any particular RTT? I'm not sure how they mount. Are they all pretty adaptable to any rack? Thanks.

 

Here it is! I think this YAAO knockoff is actually pretty nice, but I haven't really spent a lot of time in other people's RTTs. I finally got the rack built for the trailer and painted up, stuck this up there today and drove around at 70MPH and deployed it twice, it's so fast and easy compared to a ground tent, my wife, kid and I are stoked to try this out soon.

I spent an insane amount of time on the trailer, color matching, striping, and flat black painting / bedlinering everything. All bolts on the trailer are Grade 8 for strength, and the gold color matches my build. This was actually an old boat trailer I bought from someone for $150 and have spent the last year remodeling. Everything is modular, and the RTT rack system can be converted to hold other things like ladders, lumber, kayaks. I can't wait to camping, these RTTs are a conversation starter

 

My bars are 10" high. For bar spacing they are all equal distance apart, with the full length of the rack being the same as the length of the tent.

 

cool trailer. nice work on the color matching, whole setup looks nice

 

That trailer turned out awesome

 

Thanks, looking forward to trying it out. I was able to deploy the RTT in about 5 minutes and pack up in about 10. Man! This is gonna be great.

There goes the neighborhood...

 

Love the built in rod holder feature.

 

Finally mounted the custom maxtrax mounts that cbi made me for their overland bars. They did an awesome job on these. Also got a bike mount as well as hilift mount. Making these suckers pretty functional

Encountered a monsoon this past weekend. Spent the day drying out the RTT and awning

 

Woof. And leakers?

a buddy is getting ready to bring a bunch in under his brand name and got hit with a several thousand dollar fine for improperly filling out some forms on the first sample tent

 

More pictures of your trailer please. I'm thinking of going this route with my setup.
