Spontainiously took off from home late yesterday afternoon in search of a camping spot since the Ohio weather was deciding to be nice to us. We found ourselves driving through a woods and up a small creek to get out of the wind on a friends farm until we found a level spot next to a little water fall providing us with some nice sounds all night. We set up the Tepui for its maiden voyage around 7pm.
It rained a little during the night and temps dropped to around 43°F with some wind. We had the tent mostly sealed up. Woke up around 6am and packed up and headed back to town to get the lady friend to work before 9am.
The tent served us well. I’m getting good at setup and take down. Less than 5 minutes to setup and probably 8-10 to put away. The cover being the hardest part. We did incounter quite a bit of condensation in the tent in the morning. Mostly on the walls and ceiling. Nothing made it to the mattress floor.
Spent the day airing it out and drying it.
We will be camping in it for two weeks in June tracking around 6,000 miles in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and connecting states.

Installed heated seats and swapped the 12v for a dual USB fast charger! Couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Looks clean and I learned alot. Before and after pics included!

Protection mostly. Keep pin striping honest... Getting full clip bra on the front and sides also. In three years the paint will be literally brand new.

Why not just do a complete clear wrap then

If you're going to spew misinformation, I for damn sure am going to correct you. This forum is way too full of bad and misguided information. And I have helped out a ton of members correcting things that people like yourself directed them to do. While you may feel that you are doing them a great service, it is in fact quite the contrary as they often end up spending more money down the road to redo what they should have done right the first time but instead were directed to go a lesser expensive or knock off route because "oh this will work just fine"

I can't tell you how many members trucks have been in my garage to fix instances just like this. And while I fully realize that not everyone can afford top of the line parts all at once, it is within reason to believe that these parts can be acquired over time instead of seeking constant "quick fixes" to satisfy a perceived "need". As the saying goes, "Buy once, cry once". Believe me, there was a point in time that I too went the route of the cheaper mods, learned the hard way and never went down that rabbit hole again.

Don't want to be corrected, take the time to do some research instead of just copy and pasting things that you find elsewhere. Knowledge is power. Anyone can copy and paste

Lol. You may have to modify it though. Only because it's universal.

You're on a roll lately Jerry. Although I have my moments too.

I took off the mudflaps. I’ll probably do the CMC but right now with daily driving I don’t have any issues. Speeding through corners or going up abrupt driveways or change in pavement at an angle, I thought I would have rubbing but so far so good. I did trim about an 1 1/2 inches of plastic off the actual bottom part of the fender flare underneath (you can’t even see it). That was more procautionary than anything. I think that’s why I don’t rub when changing terrain abruptly. Best setup so far for me!

Does anyone know if there is an option (Carista, Techstream, etc.) for when you park and turn off the truck, the stereo will remain on until you open the drivers door? This would be great!
