*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Ah, I was assuming you had just a bed rack for both tent and awning. My bad. I forget that you lucky devils with your double cabs can do a roof rack as well.

 

have you checked out the Allegeny Shenandoah Overland Trail? I want to do it. Its 4 days of driving, but you can split it up.

 

I attach my awning to Thule bars that carry my kayak. You can run these on an access cab.

 

i love my Ruggedized version. I want to add a latex mattress topper as it is a little too firm for me. I have a dual battery system and an always-on power distribution block in the bed side so I have lights in the tent, as well as a low amp electric heating blanket for REALLY cold nights and a small fan for hot ones. Been down to 10 degrees in it with this setup and we were comfortable all night.

 

I did, I’m wanting to do that this Summer, sooner than later.

 

That sounds wicked cool

 

This will be my first summer with a rooftop tent. Besides sleeping in the mountains and picking cool nights, what do you guys do to stay cooler?

Thought about finding a battery powered fan to hang from the top of the tent, but wasn't sure if others had tried that and it failed for any reason.

Thanks!

 

I have a battery powered fan, and i open the windows

 

I bought one of these and have a deep cycle battery in the bed to run it, lights and phone charger. 3 speed and on high it moves serious air.

Do you hang it from the roof of your freespirit or does it work fine on tent bed level?

 

It clamps onto anything inside. Let me try to find a link

Thats actually the one I was looking at! You like yours?

 

The charger is a little weird, in the fact that i have to push the wire a certain way for it to start charging. But other than that, yes. It hangs, clamps, and has 4 speeds. Fit everything that I was looking for.

 

Perfect, thank you!

 

Anyone using the Tepui Anti-Condensation Mat? Does it actually help? Is it more gimmick? Worth the splurge or are there other fixes to address the condensation I'm finding under my mattress? Thanks!

 

worth it
I have it on mine it helps

 

We have this one too, wife loves it.

 

I was going to get the DEWALT 20volt cordless fan since I have 7or8 batteries !

 

Awesome, ordered it!

 

I did it last spring. Was really great. Would definitely do it again.
