    Looks like they received a shipment of tents, etc...
    I just received notification that the XL Annex I ordered back in May has been shipped and should arrive at my house tomorrow (28-June).

    Cheers

    For someone who is looking at mounting the XL on the KB voodoo crossbars.... How much of an issue is it if the tent is not able to be centered on the crossbars due to the length, like it was posted a few times earlier in this thread?

    Anyone in/near Richmond Va wanna buy mine for $800? It came in and I’m either gonna cancel the order or pass it along to one of you guys. DM Me if you want it. I haven’t picked it up yet. It’s brand new and obviously under warranty and all that.

    I assume you mean not centered front to back?

    I've seen lots of tents hang off the back a little bit. Shouldn't be a big deal.

    I tie mine to my roof rack with some cord, but you could also run it through the far window and still roll the window up

    Oh man…
    Glad I found this thread, I’ve really been wanting one of these. I don’t think I need the XL but I do like the ladder overhang. It would only be myself most of the time so the regular would be more than enough room. I don’t want to lose my tri-fold bed cover so I was considering a prinsu cab rack and throwing it on the roof. Although some of the bed racks out there are pretty awesome. Decisions, decisions...
