    RTTs were first used in South Africa because of lions. They are pretty darn comfortable and I can leave my sleeping bag and pillows in there when I pack up.

    Crawling in and out of a ground tent in the rain/mud sucks something awful. This is a great solution for those of us that already have a great ground tent and don't feel like chucking it to spend more $$$ on a rtt.

    Nicely done.

    That looks great! I am wanting to do something similar to that. Do you have any pictures of what you did under the tent? Nice job.
