*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Hey guys, coming up on year #6 with my CVT Mt. Shasta, and finally going to upgrade the mattress. The Exped Megamat looks awesome, but probably not going to spend that much and concerned about the dog popping it. Those of you that have added a memory foam topper on 56" wide tents:
Full size or Queen size? I'm thinking queen and maybe have to do a little trimming? Also, add a 2" thick foam on top of existing mattress or get a 4" foam and replace existing? Any advice appreciated!

 

I have a Mt. Rainier so I can't help with the size, but I added a 2" memory foam topper on top of the original mattress and it works well.

 

Wanting to add some camp lighting to my roof racks. Thinking the Baja Designs S2. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that people have luck with yellow or red lights not attracting bugs. Can anyone chime in on how effective this is? BD has a 10% off sale through the end of the month.

 

Talk to @memario1214 about lights before you order

 

That, and oh you reminded me that i need a pair of S1 soon

 

How are you planning to mount them to the rack?

 

I have this to mount to the bed rack:

GS Power Tube Clamp Bracket (Choice 1/1.25/1.75/2") Mount LED Light bar Radio Antenna Safety Flag on Rack Roll Cage Bumper Bull Bar on Boat Bike Truck Motorcycle ATV UTV (2 pc)

and have these to go on the prinsu:

$25 Kaper II L16-0209 Black LED Surface Mount Utility Flood Light, 1 Pack

I think @Cav_BluTRD has some BD scene lights on his rack

 

I have a Pinsu on the cap so I'll just use some of the carriage bolts to slide into the rails.

 

Yep!
I have the UpTopOverland alpha rack with the Meso pods and BD rock lights.

^ above are great options to mount lights to a rack.

 

Looking to rehome a Roam Vagabond XL with annex. (Larger than a king size bed) located in the St Louis area. Shoot me a pm if you’re interested. Picked up last October. I am the only owner. Awesome tent. No issues. Updated cover. Have another thing in the works. Tent is off the truck and secured in my house.

How do you like that canopy? Does it have shelves on the sides? Also, are the wing doors covered up with vinyl?

Sorry for sidetracking this thread, really like the look though.

 

Anybody know where I can get bed bars with a 12" rise everywhere I've looked I've seen 4" 8" or full height

 

my BAMF bed rack is 13" above the bedsides. Check with different vendors, or see if theres someone local to you that can make exactly what you want

 

Cool I'll check them out man

 

You talking about these the description says 10" above bed sides

 

not bed bars. The full bed rack. (I modified mine... so it looks a little different)

You cut yours down to 13"

 

no sir. I cut out the bent tubes, and replaced them with straight

 

Oh ok I which I could weld then I'd make my own but I never picked up that trade
