*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

anyone here have a detailed write up of doing ladder and tent lights? Wanting to get some made that are hardwired into the truck but have a switch on the lights themselfs

 

ah dope okay, Yeah I have a plug in my bed thats a constant hot and just need leds that I can solder a plug to and a switch. That would work?

Mind linking me to it

 

I really liked the way @inv3ctiv3 did his. Will probably copy him once I upgrade to a bigger tent down the line. For now, I have a roll cage light that I got off Amazon that runs on batteries that I velcroed around the center beam. Also have a light stuck to the underside of the tent.

Works well enough...

 

thanks brother! Hope youre having fun in the out back!

 

how long does the charger work? Seems like a good idea for the ladder while having the permanent led strips in the tent.

What did you use to hold the tent leds in?

 

perfect man thanks again for your help! You going on the utah traverse?

 

may 20-28

These inflatable solar lanterns work great in the tent.

dude let me know if you do! I would love to cut zion short and head over to moab! Always wanted to go at least white rim and top of world and the gemini bridge

 

I have a couple of these, they are awesome, but someone started playing with one of them and punctured it

 

We really need a "don't like"... @tcBob

 

What will Chad do????

 

I've had my RTT open over my tailgate for a while.

I'm considering the move to opening it on the passenger side.

I'm just soliciting feedback... Why do you choose to open it one way or the other?

 

I'd never go over tailgate because it makes it that much more difficult to get stuff from the bed. No?

I go passenger.

 

abstain?

 

Not that I noticed. And it provided cover if I decided to use the tailgate as a table.

I've since purchased multiple lightweight tables and no longer need to utilize the tailgate for anything.

 

passenger for me, so when the cover is hanging down I have access to my driver's seat and the natural way the center console opens. I may switch it around this season being that I have a swingout with a fold down table now and may not want to walk around it when it's open to access the ladder of the tent.

 

Which ever way I loaded the tent on the truck lol I usually go drivers side though I did tailgate drop once but that was before I had the swing out. Also my fridge and awning are going to be on the passenger side so there's that

 

Pirhett- the lumninoodles work great and definitely recommend them
