*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

lol I don't want the overlander price anymore...I'm looking more at these guys: https://www.gazelletents.com/

 

I know it only solves one of those issues, but my girlfriend has a serious small bladder issue. I just constructed a funnel with a long tube that she can stick out the tent and pee into. If you're in a place that doesn't allow for urine on the ground, then you can stick the tube into a bucket or something.

 

No joke that is almost the exact one I bought I just bought some long tubing to add to it!

 

lol oh trust me I've offered up some solutions but she's not into it. I'm not opposed to ground tenting, it will in fact be easier, I'm just wanting to sell the RTT before I get into buying anything.

 

My wife bought this, or a very similar brand. It came in a pack of 4 or 6. I think there's one in my SxS, my truck, our camping stuff, and who knows where else. Said it works "OK"... not a perfect seal. Easier to just squat a lot of the times.

And here is our answer to the other problem...

 

Well hey, at least you have someone who will go camping with you! It just sucks you won't be able to look like the ultimate off-roader/"overlander" while driving to the grocery store.

 

haha I have a DD T4R for my grocery getter! the tent actually stays off the truck anyways....not in this for overlanding points...

 

patiently waiting for the bigger CVT hardshell to pop back up.

 

the wedge version they have is nice, just too short and a tiny bit narrow. Seems like the bigger one they're not coming back with even though they say they are.

 

I thought I'd be fine with mine on the truck 24/7 and that lasted about a week and I built a hoist to store it when not in use. I'm not sure how people drive around with exposed rotopax, hi lifts, and RTTs all the time. Those overlanding points must be mighty valuable somewhere

 

I wish I had a garage I could fit into or a hoist or something for my RTT, that's another pain in itself..

 

I bought a gantry from Northern tool and use it to hold the block and tackle set up to lift the RTT and bedrack off. Then it stays there until warmer weather when it goes back on.

 

You want headroom?!

 

That's a legit hotel room on your truck. Where's the fully tiled bathroom with shower included?

 

You mean the Home Depot Bucket and Simple Shower? Nope, had to buy those separate...

But hey, It's now a tri-level! Room for the whole family... all two of us!!

 

Now THAT is a setup!! That's incredible!

 

Make more family to use all of facilities?

 

But children make it so much harder to afford said facilities!

 

Practice then..

Everyone needs practice. I think @Shmellmopwho said that

 

I loooove to practice. My pull out game isn’t very strong since I have 2 kids but I like em. I think I’m gonna keep em!

On a serious note, children do make things slightly more difficult to afford goodies but the sacrifice is soooo worth it. I want a supercharger for my truck but have responsibilities to make sure my kids are taken care of so the money spent on the truck isn’t worth it. However, bringing my daughter wheeling and seeing her smile and have a ton of fun is worth more to me than enjoying a supercharger by myself. My opinion of course. Being a dad is the best thing that could ever happen to my life hands down
