*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Starting my trailer build this weekend for the rtt since I don’t have my truck anymore. Doing a 4x6 with 33’s to match the 4Runner. Anyone have any suggestions. We’ve spent the last several weeks planning and have come up with a solid plan for it. But still open for suggestions.

 

was talking FSRs Odyssey for the 1" mattress

 

I think he's referring to the FSR one he got

 

You bish

 

Already priced out exped megamat type mattresses if the 1" is bunk af

 

ahh yea I missed that. Now to go research them

 

I just looked at the specs again. It looks like it has a similar foam base to my old High Country in addition to the 1.25" mattress rather than a hard floor. It does make a difference in comfort, so hopefully it's cozy for your bum

 

word will have to do me a full test before using it for several nights.

 

I wouldn't mind joining you for my experienced insight for comparison...for science

 

Its kinda crazy that hardshell tents are all around the ~$3k range now..

The ones on the top of my list are:

CVT

FSR

I wanted a hard shell for my Land Cruiser too, but I saw this one and it looked just like the old FSR adventure series design that they don't use anymore. After using it, I'm so stoked I didn't spend another $2k cuz it's dope

RTT Newdz

 

soo... spooning for science?

 

Ive seen that too. I was thinking about getting it when I had sold my last tent, and wanted to order a tent, but my current one wasnt in stock yet.

But @socalexpeditions had it, and I think his review was not great

 

Let's be real, @socalexpeditions isn't happy with anything

 

What size Exped are you planning to get? I have the Megamat Duo 10 (72" x 40.9"). If I decide not to use it in my new setup coming tomorrow then I plan on selling it if you're interested.

 

the mattress is 55x83 in the tent so im looking for solutions similar size. Havent really looked too far into it but ill keep it in mind!

 

those were on my short list too. The Falcon i liked because long but reviews are so hit and miss.

 

I thought ya'll would appreciate my DIY rooftop I've been working on!





Just about everything is home built, from the bed rack to the frame to the tent itself. I'm pretty happy with it but I am always looking for some tips and ideas to make it better!

 

I used to have an older one. I didnt like it because everything was riveted. And because Im over 200lbs, when I stepped on the ladder, the hooks ripped out. I replaced them with bolts, but still.. shouldnt have happened.

 

thats the complaint i've seen often enough to scare me away. For that type of clamshell i would go CVT/BFE ive had really good luck and customer service out of CVT.

I hadnt seen too many of the FSR Odysseys out and i like their design and no clamshell angle at the end of the bed where my big ass feet will be so i went that route. Also heard they ship fast so it would be sweet if thats the case and i get it by the weekend to install.
