*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

@Arcticelf has a custom way to mount his tent. Its not on a shell though

 

my dog sleeps in the bed of the truck in the shell. He hates it lol. I put his bed down, crack a window and out a couple of blankets on him. He’s fine he’s just used to sleeping in the wife/my room. The entire family goes up top and he hears us but he deals.

 

Wish I had a shell! He’ll probably fit in the tent with us as it’s just 6 inches above the bed so I can lift him in. But it’ll be cramped and some nights he’ll be muddy.

I have a nice platform built for him with the back seats folded down. Just need a way to get him ventilation without the rain getting in.

 

I have a CVT summit series RTT with a telescoping ladder. I’m building an off-road trailer and am looking for a slider older style ladder. Anyone have one for sale? A damaged one would work as well!!

Pm me if you know of anything.

 

vent visors?

 

Dog crate in the bed of truck? With bedding.

 

Best buget rtt suggestions? you guys must all be ballin

 

where are you located?

here is a telescoping ladder:

$134 WolfWise 8.5FT Aluminum Telescoping Ladder, Collapsible Extension Ladder, 330lbs Max Capacity Black

Vent visors would work but then I don’t think I would be able to get something like these screens over them. I had looked at the weathertech visors but I don’t see how they would work with it unless you guys have recommendations.

Dog crate won’t work because I have a tonneau cover and am using the Mobtown bars to keep that tonneau. Good idea though! Eventually I’ll have a cap and he will sleep in there.

 

Man that's what I'm saying. People got crazy money around here.

I'd suggest the Smittybilt Overlander for a budget RTT.

 

Just noticed the rear window is a lot more straight up and down. With the RTT near it, odds are lower of water getting into it.

Could ventilate through there. Just need to think of a way to screen it.

 

why wont vent visors work? I have them and leave my windows open by at least 1 inch every day. Nothing goes inside unless its a torrential rain storm, and then rain is going up..

Like this:


is that not enough ventilation? I dont have a dog, but I have slept in my cab with the windows open under the visors

 

shameless self plug

Good point, I guess I have not tested it to see if its enough ventilation! Would not be having him sleep in there in hot weather, so I would think it would have enough.

 

Jesus lol, this is what i have...also pops up

 

lol. I have graduated to this.

Originally had this:



but i got flooded one time, and it went down hill from there. Now I can sleep on rocks

 

Smittybilt

 

What's your location? I have a telescoping in the garage waiting to install and replace the slider once I open the tent next warm day.

 

I would put a bolt from the tent side down into the rack. I also use a sheet of 1/8 steel cut 4" square for the "washer" on the tent side.

 

That’s ridiculous overkill
