LEER 100RCC for RTT

I am thinking of switching out my bakflip mx4 for a LEER cap so I can put on a RTT. What do yal think? I appreciate the help.

 

It just depends on what your needs are. I’m not a RTT guy personally. I think the vast majority of people drive around with those heavy ass things on their trucks everyday all year just to avoid the 5 minutes it takes to set up a regular tent a few times a year. And they are about 10xs more expensive than a nice normal tent. If you’re a full time instagram broverlander then I can see a RTT making sense, but I very much prefer a cot in a ground tent to sleep in. Just my opinion tho, and you know what they say about opinions. I also don’t like the idea of having to take camp with me every time I want to leave for the day and explore or do things away from the campsite.

I had a hard folding tonneau cover before the shell and it was ok, but I found myself constantly having stuff back there that was too tall for the tonneau to close, so the shell was a huge upgrade for me.

 

Can you truly justify the price and be okay with it? If so go ahead.

• To leave camp, you must pack up the RTT.
• After a trip where there was snow rain or condensation, you should air out the tent to prevent mold or mildew. As with any tent… however with a rtt, that means that you need to leave your vehicle for a day or so with the tent up at home to air out.
• Is it above your cab? If so, then wind noise and fuel economy….
• Yes it may be nicer to be a bit higher up and away from some animals.
• Do you care to climb up and down a ladder?
• Are you leaving the tent on all the time or taking it on and off before and after trips. They are bulky and heavy. Where can you store it and can you lift it or do you have help?

 

With a "normal" 7 foot tall garage door, I really doubt you can get your truck inside to possibly remove the RTT for storage. So, likely your truck stays outside year around (like mine without a RTT) or you are removing the RTT outside the garage and moving it inside for storage between uses. Sounds like a PITA. Most are on bed racks/bed bars so it is cab level or lower.

Look at some of the for sale ads on here.....used only a dozen nights, only a few times etc.

PS: you don't need a cap for a RTT - just the bed rack or bed bars.
