*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Anyone know of any black Friday or cyber Monday deals on roof top tents? Thanks

 

Took the tent and truck out for their first real test. Truck got some pinstripes, tent did great in the 25 degree mountain weather.

Tepui Autana Ruggedized mounted on @KB Voodoo HD bars.

 

I will look into this. Thanks.

Yeah we were thinking about just bringing like 3 comforters and warm each other up. Do tall boil water then pour the water the bottles?

 

That's the first 2016 I've seen with a RTT. Looks good

 

yes, but be careful with boiling water in a hot water bottle against exposed skin. shes got one thats thick rubber we usually wrap in a towel first.. and another that is a hot/cold pack we also wrap. keeps the heat in longer and keeps us from getting burned.

Some people use the 'Little Buddy' propane heater. Others use a 12v heated blanket... I am thinking about getting the Little Buddy

 

Adam said that Tepui will be doing something.

 

I use my mr buddy to heat y tent. I dont leave it on overnight though. But ill turn it on 5-10 minutes before i go to bed and it heats it up nicly. Then when i wake up ill turn it back on before i get out of the bag. For actually sleeping...blankets and sleeping bag

 

i agree! i had seen it in movies and cartoons as a kid.. but never really put it together as an adult until she brought it along. it was a total "duh" moment.

 

I bought this

$98 Electrowarmth Twin, Heated Mattress Pad, Non-Fitted, Size 36 x 60, Model# T36 12V Used in Trucks, RVs, Campers, White

12v mattress warmer this week and will test it out this weekend in 30 degree temps. My significant other will test it out more to the point.

I'll tell you guys how it works. It is rated at 6.2 amps at the top setting (of seven settings) and I have a yellow top in the bed.

 

I use an electric blanket plugged into the bed outlet. Several cold nights below 30 with no issues.

 

Do you just keep the truck on all night to power the blanket?

 

Just to toast it all up nice.

 

How many of you guys camp with your little ones? My daughter will be 1 year old next summer when I will take her camping for the first time. Curious if there's anything special I need to pack or prepare for? I'll have an RTT at that point.

 

Such as....

 

@DoorDing thats exactly the kind of info I'm looking for! I'm really hoping she'll enjoy camping and the entire experience. My wife is an amazing photographer so I'll have to remind her to bring her camera.

Dirty diaper advice is great!

And we have a co-sleeper which I would have never thought about bringing but that will definitely come in handy while in a tent.

I finally get to join the rtt family. I'm going to pick mine up this weekend. Any tips of advice on owning one

 

Air it out if you can after each trip? Shouldn't have a problem with condensation/mold since your in az.. Other than that just enjoy it

 

Can't wait. Hoping to pick one up this spring.
