    You turned an "okay" looking truck into a a neck breaker haha can't wait to see what you do with your next one.

    Yeah I totally get it, I try to go more for functionality but also some looks with respect to budget. I love my Tepui RTT (slept in it one night in my living room) just have run into some obstacles with mounting it to the canopy.

    I appreciate it. I have a laundry list of mods already written down, so stay tuned!
    Ah yeah I've only heard about those RTT's, but everything has been positive

    After this week, I won't have anymore classes so hopefully I'll have some time to go explore with you guys. Definitely looks like some sloppy snow up there

    I have the autana riggedized so it's the heavy duty material, makes a huge difference.

    I have 2 finals next Tuesday but that's it. We will have to go!

    Huge difference eh? Have you seen, and/or experienced both Autana Riggedized and the Cascadia tents?

    I went camping with a few guys that have Cascadia tents, they are nice but the material isn't as heavy duty. Plus I have heard many negative reviews about the customer service with them.

    If you aren't going to do the ruggedized version then either company is just as good as the other, but little things like customer service and the heavier material is what made me go with Tepui. Talk to Adam (Box Rocket) on here and he can get you a deal when the time comes and he can explain the differences. I ordered mine through him.

    Yeah I might have to do just that. I haven't looked at a whole lot of other companies, and don't really know any of the bigger competitors, aside from like ARB, Cascadia and Tepui... when the funds come and things are a little more serious I'll ask him :devil:
