    :thumbsup: Need I say more?

    Well, OK. Its great for gear, and my 3-person RTT. I custom made the rack seen on my shell to match my Prinsu Cabrak, including the laser cut sides with ARB awning mount holes like the Prinsu has. I think you will not regret getting the Prinsu!

    it can hold lots of weight, so a basket or rails attached to it would be perfect for gear, also a lot of folks bolt plano or pelican boxes to it too.

    We do tent camping too, but an RTT is so darn convenient, especially for nomadic camping where you pitch it at night in 5 minutes and strike camp the next mornining in 10, or wherever the ground is rocky, snowy or muddy.

    Nice! Ok, get a large tube of silicone and a punch to put holes in the weather stripping- check for installation posts in the Prinsu thread here on TW to get the right size. I drilled and cut mine, but should have used a punch instead.
