    Guys, I know Ruston is busy or whatever and communication is rough. Another member put me in touch with another employee at GEO and he was super awesome help and got me hooked right up. I contacted Ruston 3 times with no answer and this other guy had me hooked up in a few minutes. Just call the company number and ask for Ander Urdaneta. He was a huge help.

    Pm me if you cant find the number I dont want to post it here.

    The guy down there at GEO in Miami is awesome. He is so helpful. I will be in contact with him in the future about some deals.

    Testing her out at a secluded cemetery. Had to stand on my tailgate to get her open. Might need a few more open and close runs to make it quicker and maybe figure out an easier way.

    I actually got the 180, I have a long bed though. Had a Mombasa in the same size like the 140 and that looked small in the bed (see my avatar).

    I should fit exactly over the bed, measured again after seeing the pictures above. Fingers crossed:fingerscrossed:

    Will post pics and my experience in a bit. On my way to lunch. It's huge and I definitely need some practice.

    I have the 140 btw.

    Just left lunch with some TW buddies and my buddy was impressed by the fact that ours zip all the way around. He bought his RTT from Iguana out of Georgia and he said his velcro'd shut.

    Opening...
    Lots of unzipping, mine starts at the front drivers side going clockwise. I have to crawl in the bed to get the zipper from left to right at the cab. I get out to unzip the rest. Once unzipped with a portion still attached and thrown in the bed. I stand on my tailgate and release the telescoping ladder so it can help with the opening. I slowly lift it up and carefully and slowly guide it to the driver side. The ladder falls and I gently let it settle open. Next I used the prop poles and opened the sides up for optimal airing out. I adjust the ladder for safe entry and get in! I did get a tiny metal splinter from the ladder so make sure you rub that down with an old shirt or something and throw away.

    Closing...
    Pull the prop piles and refasten the flaps. Close ladder up and refasten the ladder Velcro and just push her up til she falls closed like a book. I walked around and tucked everything in. Strapped in with the Velcro attached. Grabbed the still connected cover and threw it over the closed RTT and adjusted it for securing. The part of the tent closest to the cab was a PITA, just tucked it once I started zipping shut. Threw the straps over once zipped shut and secured with Velcro. Pretty easy. Just don't hit your head on a bolt underneath the bedbars like I did. I got the entire thing closed up during a few Avett Brothers songs. So maybe 10 minutes?


    Invest in a tiny hand brush/broom to sweep dirt out of the tent and clean the ladder. :)

    I hauled two 140s and a 165. Once I unloaded the other TWers tents, my 140 fit perfectly in my bed on top of the wheel wells. Very snug.
