AT Habitat, Atlas, & Summit Pictures, ideas, aaand BS

This is what I'm trying to figure out... Ideas?

 

Agreed.

 

What are you tryin to figure out?

 

how to build, and mainly mount so it supports the weight

 

There are a number of anchor screws on the inside of the hab. These hold the tent module to the walls. The same bolts are visible under the overhang.

There are mounting tracks along your bedsides that the hab bolts that big angle of aluminum to.

If you draw a plumb line from the bedside angle up to the roof of the hab, you’ll form a polygon roughly triangular in shape.

Take a T of aluminum and mount with the leg of the T along the top of the bed rail. Drill the bottom arm to mount to the bedside rails. The upper arm drilled for mounting to the gear wall. The upper mount can be an angle drilled for the existing tent module mounting bolts along the horizontal side of the angle, and the gear wall on the vertical side of the angle.

Then use what you want with quick fists, maybe some 7ply 1/2” marine plywood with t-nuts and through bolts to form the gear wall.

Something like this.

 

their is a lil movement with normail use that can turn into a waterbed movement when its playtime. but a lot of it is the truck, i use rv jacks and it takes almost all the movement out.

 

Love the Sugoi handsaw, got one myself. I also sell them in my store if anybody needs a goodguy TW discount.

 

With a name like "Sugoi" it'd better be amazing!

 

Thats what I did. Let me know if you need any specific pics.

 

I'm going to take this to my fab guys this summer... I'll post up when it's time. Thanks for the ideas!

 

Figure I should ask in case a used one pops up for sale ever

What would you pay for a Habitat with windows? Used in good condition lets assume.

 

Here's my thoughts, which could obviously be way off!


In June last year we paid just over $11K installed at Equipt, new, not used. We had one option, which was the roof rack for $800ish. I've read the base price has gone up since then, too.

Used, in good condition, I bet you'd be seeing 9k-11k for one with windows, depending on other options and the person's hurry on selling. A smart seller would probably play up the lead time you'd be waiting if ordering new which would help keep the used prices reasonably high.

You might get lucky finding one at this price or lower, but maybe you could just start saving for the extra couple thousand for a brand new one. If a used pops up, awesome, but if not you'll have a backup plan!

 

Does a used one come with AT’s “it broke, here’s the fix” customer service?

 

The more I read the more I don’t like...

 

The more you don't like what?

 

I’ve always had shit customer service haha! Everyone I’ve talked to so far that has one on instagram has told me they just tell you a fix and “goodluck.” Yet to talk to them directly though! Just was looking more into AT and so far that’s what I’ve heard

 

I had holes form in my brand new tent immediately after buying it. One of the owners met us on the road in Colorado to inspect the tent and damage. He offered to have the tent replaced by his crew on his dime if I drove to Prescott for the fix. We were on our way home and there was no chance at that. I have been behind the scenes in the Overlanding world for a while so they shipped me a brand new $6k tent to replace it, with hardware to boot. Total cost to me, 4 hrs of time. They even sent me a replacement sleep platform to fix the problem. They changed some designs to fix the glitch.

When it was found the tents were not seam sealed they sent out kits to everyone effected.

You also have to remember, some of here have the very first habs off the line, so we deal with our R&D time.

Overall if I had to do it over I would. Only change I would make is getting it painted to match.

I have had FAR worse customer service from CBI and AllPro. And none of this community is as bad as the gun world. Talk about shit customer service!

You also have to consider the people on instagram, and their mentality.
