*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Not really. I believe a few years back someone did a 10 person group by from the company that makes the tents for all the big name brands and a 600 dollar tent ended up costing only around 800 or so. Granted, the person who organized the group buy did a lot of leg work himself to make sure everything was kosher so he didn't do another GB for the tents again.

 

New to rtt and had a couple questions.

Background: I purchased tepui Kukenam rugg. XL and it weighs 210lbs. I have an ARE v series topper with prinsu racks front to back.


Since my rtt is longer than my topper it also rests on the rack that's on the cab of the truck. The bed moves independently of the cab could this cause any issues?

Should I move the rtt to the front so that most of it is over the cab of the truck or will the topper hold up to the weight?

Thanks for the help!

 

does anyone have the tepui boot bags?

How do you like them? - reviews? pictures?

 

I have a CVT bag I got from bobby (owner of CVT) at the expo. I havent installed it yet though...

 

Woo hoo, going to be one of the cool kids soon. Pulled the trigger on a Eezi-Awn Series 3 1600. Its in a container with others on its way from South Africa. ETA early July.

 

Keep the tent in the back, just raise it up a bit higher with some rubber blocks or something. Do not put raisers under the rack mounts. Mounts sitting flat on your rack mount rails spread the weight better.

I have a PrInSu on my LEER on a short box, with a CVT Mt. Shasta on top of it, but just put a deposit on a hard shell RTT from CVT. It will definitely going to sick over the cab by a foot or more and my cab rack sits about 1/2" higher. I am planning on finding some rubber blocks to put under the tent to make sure the cab can flex independently. Would probably be a good idea to put some smaller spacers under cab rack too.

All that said, I just had 4 people and a 60lb dog hanging out and shooting shit in my RTT with no issues.

 

Thank your for the help...I'm going to machine some nylon blocks at work today!

 

Anyone have a GOFSR adventure series M55, wondering how much it would hang on the sides. https://www.gofsr.com/product/adventure-series-manual-55-roof-top-tent/

 

@sytfu510 has one

 

Just got back from a trip out camping with an overlanding friend

 

@Lots2Learn58 check out this cap!

 

Got a little present for my RTT....

 

A safety cone?

 

Finally the trailer!

 

Finally got my RTT

 

Can anyone shed light on the Tuff Stuff tent vs. Smittybilt? They're both around $800 and look the same and are the same size. How about quality?

 

Honestly they are probably the same tent

 

Dude! That's what I was thinking!

 

i dont have any experience with either brand, but for $100 more, try this brand. I have the next step up, and have no issues!
