*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

It's really not that bad if you look closely at my above image, it covers a little of the sharkfin tab and overhangs back of the shell but still lines up with the tailgate because of the angle on the rear shell door.

I am looking at racks trying to bring center of gravity down by a good 3" from what the Thule racks are now.

 

I cant overhang the cab. I had to drill 12 holes in my roof for the Prinsu, so it's never coming off

 

For those of you in SoCal, you can get one of these China made, no name hardshell RTT for $1200 from their warehouse in Ontario. Listed for $2500 on their website.

I just got rid of my soft RTT and picked one of these up. Seems decent for the price. I just got tired of the setting up and putting down of the soft tent. Will see how long this will last.

 

Good deal. Any actual pictures?

 

Welcome to the cvtfamily

 

Brought my family out to their first camping. Being in Guam is a bit warmer and mosquitoes everywhere so I learned a few do's and don't for our next camp out. Overall ease of setup and clean up was incredibly simple.

Any tips on how to keep cool at night e.g. fans or such.

Thanks!

 

the delays in shipping were kind of frustrating, but nonetheless really happy to finally have a tent. looking forward to using it lots this year

 

I put a deep cycle battery in the bed and run a line up to the tent to power one of these fans.

Another weekend in the books

 

Loaded for trip next weekend.

 

why do you have the bars so close together?

 

Hafa adai bro. Nice rig and even nicer scenery

 

Aloha bro, thanks. Just enjoying the things in life.

 

What tent/ kayak rack are you using? Does it hang over the side of the truck?

 

I have a trifold bed cover on. Can’t extend them out any further and have room for cover hardware and it fold correctly. Tried moving around different ways but could find anything that worked.

Yes, it does stick out over the side just a little. I also had to use some rubber chocks to lift the front enough to clear the cab. It road well down the highway going 70 even in a pretty stout crosswind.

 

Just going to do a quick one night at Windcreek State Park next weekend after work. Nothing that exciting.

 

After 4 months of build weekends - finally got the first trip in the RTT under the belt. Lots of rain on Friday, but was able to stay dry all weekend.

Doggo enjoyed it too

I'm using FSR 55" Highcountry. Plenty of space for 3 bodies. Closed tent it's just equivalent to the length of the cab. I think that's what you're trying to ask?
