*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

One would think they would fix their list of issues with the first campers before working so hard on new products. But that’s just me

 

Great thank you! Since I don't have a roof rack yet I may just bungee it to my side mirror for now

 

You might be able to expose one of the roof rack mounting holes and find an eyelet in the same thread. Run a bungee to that

 

Camped up on Rollens Pass last night. It was sick!



My view to the right



And just above the site!

 

I need more info. I thought the new RTT was a hard shell. How would a soft top prevent water from leaking inside?

 

I really need to get a hoist to store this tent

 

Thinking about purchasing the GFC "Superlite" : https://gofastcampers.com/superlite-roof-tent/ when it is out but want to know if I would have issues with flex from the bed/truck. Looks like it is 90" in length and I'm not sure of the exact measurements of the SB, but I think it is around 60" so I assume this would attach both on the trucks roof + the shell.

**Also have a Prinsu rack that it would attach to.

Anyone know if this would work?

 

Bad idea to span something from the shell rack to the cab rack. Too much flex between the two halves of the truck.

 

Makes sense, thank you for clarifying

 

Does anyone have any experience with GordiGear Tents? If so, please leave our feedback?

 

I’ve been thinking of putting a long bed rack on my short bed topper to address the longer load issue.

Any foreseen issues aside from looking odd? My hope is that the crossbars/load would be higher than the shark fin antenna on the cab, as well as being high enough to negate any potential contact due to flex.

 

@diabetiktaco put a spacer on his long tent

 

Im toying with the idea of selling my tent and bed rack in the winter..

 

I can take some close up pics if you want. My Roofnest was touching my frontrunner rack and making a racket. I put a rubber strip between them to create a flexible buffer. I've wheeled the truck with it. I'm no rock crawler, it's not my thing but have def. flexed the truck out. I haven't had any issues at all. Ideally, it's probably not the right way to go about it. But, it's been solid for me.

 

If you don't mind I would really appreciate it! I contacted them and they said that it would be fine if I just attached to the shell and let it overhang, but I would rather be safer than sorry and double check

 

I definitely don't recommend attaching it to both the cab and camper racks. Flexing independently has the potential to really screw something up at some point, whether it's the tent, racks, shell or cab...whichever goes first. Whatever it is, it's not gonna be a good time. Touching/coming into contact with the other rack is probably harmless, but actually attaching to both racks is a bad idea.

 

You could use something like to a cheap isolation mount or motor mount to attach the tent to the roof rack while rigidly attaching it to the bed rack. That would allow the front mounts to flex with the cab.

 

Good idea!

 

Ok.....what’s the plan? Ranger and a Pop Up?

 

Vagabond. Just gotta figure out some logistics with the year build time and driving out
