    I can't tell if OP was being serious when he asked this question, but he should've known his audience better.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    When I was working in Alaska, one of the crews left an empty box of doughnuts under the rear seat in the cab of a truck. A bear went THROUGH the windshield, tore up the interior for said empty box, and exited out the rear door by removing it from the hinges. Talking to one of the guys it was a vary uncomfortable, cold, and wet drive back to the office.

    A decent size bear can pry open a car door.

    That's what I told the guy. They should have left one sacrificial doughnut in the box out side of the truck.

    If a bear wants in, it's getting into any production camper made - hard side, soft side, no side, topside, whatever. Doesn't matter whether you're on the ground or 15 feet up a tree.
    They will also peel off car doors, bash in window, etc.

    I grew up in bear country and somehow survived a childhood of camping, hunting and fishing among them.

    Keep a clean campsite. Don't sleep in the clothes you cooked in, yada yada yada. Be smart, and use common sense and you'll be fine.

    Why did the OP have a campfire in his RTT? That’s not very safety conscious. :crazy:
