*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Sweet setup Brandon. Does the RTT and top of the yakima rack sit about at the same height? Do you have any profile angles of your set up?

 

not sure the names of the areas there...but that was at the state park

go in the park...find the dirt road and keep driving til you get cliffed out

 

Just read your build thread - great stuff!!

Back to RTT...

 

Thank you! (sorry for the derail, back on topic)

I saw a picture someone had of a hose clamp used to tie down the RTT. What does the normal attachment look like? One of the bed racks we're looking at is 1.75" and will need a non-standard mount.

My tent came with two different mounting plates for different sized load bars and racks.... They look just like the ones above the ones i used.

 

Perfect, thanks y'all. I think a hose clamp with some padding to avoid scratching the paint should work great for the 1.75" round tubing.

 

Which park? Boars Tusk is just north of Rock Springs on the way to Pinedale/Jackson. I have driven by there dozens of times but never made it out there. There are some dunes as well.

 

Never mind, not Boar's Tusk.

 

Okay, one more question - how far apart/wide are the rails used to mount to the rack? I'm looking at the Mt. Shasta, which is 56" wide, so I'm guessing the rails are probably 30-50" apart. There seems to be some amount of distance between the rails and the edge of the RTT, and then they are obviously spread apart enough to distribute weight and increase stability.

 

Not sure about the mt Shasta but on mine there were different places to mount the tracks depending on what way you want it to come off the vehicle.

 

that's gooseneck state park in UT

 

Ah, that makes more sense, the rock looked the same as Boar's

 

That should work perfect, thanks!

 

I got another addition to add to meh RTT...

Teton 2 person 0* queen sleeping bag... It's huge.. I'm gonna love it in the tent for the Huricane creek meet on the weekend of the 22nd of March..

I haven't gotten inside, letting the apartment get to 65* and going for it.

 

Where'd you pick that up at?

 

^^ I bought mine last year at sportsmans warehouse. But not sure if they are a nationwide chain or not.
