*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Anybody that runs their tent on a FrontRunner rack know of an easy way to get to the nuts to remove them. It takes me about an hour to take my tent off and on.

 

Had her out in Powell a couple weeks ago

 

Mine is quieter than my old ground tent

 

I was still able to take a nap through the storm, but it wasn't quiet. Only thing I learned was I need to tie down the ladder side since the wind got under that and blew it up which put the ladder out of place and made the tent not as tight.

 

I don't think that will fit through the rails

 

Has anybody made something to put shoes in right outside the door? I know some of the newer tents come with a pouch, but I'm trying to think of an easy to make solution.

 

Didn't even think to use a cargo net. i have one. Thanks

 

Fabric grocery bag that the tree huggers carry around. Hook it to the tensioning rod. Bam.

 

That could work too. I like it.

Don't like leaving my shoes for the bugs to get into

Hey for those of you that don't want to hardwire lighting into your tent, I bought an LED dome light for a roll bar off Amazon. Takes AAA batteries and I'm going to test it out in my tent this weekend. I think it will be great!

For the tent light, I use these. Work awesome for a bed light too since it's magnetic.

Anyone have a picture of their RTT with surfboards on racks? I have an Access Cab with a camper (with yakima racks). Trying to think of some ways to accommodate both the RTT and boards once I purchase my RTT!

 

Yeah, my friends same tent was parked right next to mine and had no issues and I've never had any wind issues before. Must have been a wind money shot.

 

I do the same thing now. I keep ear plugs in the pouches inside for this very purpose. Lots of desert camping for me, and the wind can never be predicted. I also use a ratchet strap around my tire, then another from the top of the ladder to that to keep it down in the wind. Works like a charm and you don't have to fear the dreaded taco fold up while inside. I think @MTgirl had that happen to her.

 

I had wind blow really hard in just the right direction to actually push my free end of the tent up and basically close the tent. I happened to be sitting in the truck at the time. I couldn't believe that could happen....

 

Where'd you get that and how does it mount?

 

My buddy gave it to me, it's a cargo net for like a car or SUV. I looped it through the clip that holds the ladder down (when closed up) and one of the things that holds the rain fly down
