TEPUI Roof Top Tents and Gear

I can't wait to se it set up. That is what I want on my truck.

 

Great setup, any inside pictures?

 

Damn! That works perfect for that truck!

 

I want to pull the trigger so bad on the kukenam

 

No, and only because my phone wasn't doing it any kind of justice, and the lens on my camera can't handle being close enough (35mm prime)

I'll try and get some though soon! It really looks identical to the ones on Tepui's page.

 

Do it, seriously I'm so amped on this. My gf had to talk me out of sleeping in it last night.

I've set it up twice now since Tepui showed me how, and it gets faster and faster.

 

Thanks for answering my questions sir

 

No problem. If you have anymore, feel free to ask away. I'm sure Adam can answer whatever you've got, but I can answer too, from an average owner perspective lol

 

Here's some interior pictures of my old XL Ruggedized. Since this one came out there are additional interior pockets.








Couple other details for those that haven't seen a Ruggedized model in person. 5-Bar diamond plate base, not the cheap stuff.


rings for hanging baskets etc or staking down the tent in high winds.


Tepui's best in the market anti-condensation mat.

 

I LOVE my ruggedized Autana, wouldn't change a thing if I did it over. Definitely worth the extra denaro

 

Same here. My ruggedized XL is a beast. Glad I spent my money well.

 

Spent my first night in my Kukenam Ruggedized. Have to say, it was even better than I expected.

I'm 5'11", 165-170, and the mattress had the perfect balance of firm and soft. No matter how I lay on it, I couldn't feel the bottom through it.

I was in big bear, and the temps got down into the low 30's. I have my sleep system from the army, and with both bags I was perfectly comfortable. The wind picked up in the morning, but aside from some minor flapping of the rain fly, the tent was solid. The same wind would have been miserable in a normal tent.

Since I knew it would be cold, and there's nothing worse than climbing out of a warm sleeping bag into a cold tent to get dressed, I borrowed a small electric space heater. Clicked it on, and in about 15 minutes, the inside of the tent was nice and toasty. It holds heat really well, and has zero drafts. May be because of the heavier Ruggedized canvas, but it also stayed nicely dim inside. Nothing like being blasted awake by the morning sun when you're still trying to be lazy...

Setup is insanely easy. Even without help, I can have it set up in just a few minutes. I still haven't figured out the half clicks in the ladder. Might need a YouTube tutorial haha.

I'm also extremely hard on my equipment, and the tent never budged, even after getting my truck airborne numerous times.

 

If you don't follow Tepui on FB you may have missed the announcement of an exciting new product. Custom Embroidered fitted sheets for your RTT. I just got a set of these and they are really nice if you prefer to sleep with sheets and blankets instead of a sleeping bag. The benefit of these over standard bed sheets is that these are custom fit to the tent mattress with cutouts around the hinges for a perfect fit versus standard sheets that are made for much thicker mattresses and just don't fit well.
Now your Tepui tent will feel even more like sleeping at home in your own bed! 310 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton.

The Tacoma may be gone....but the RTT lives on! BTW, I'm sure most of TW knows now that Rinzler died in a bad wreck. Something I didn't really consider at the time was that even though I went from about 55mph to 0 in a split second, my Ruggedized Autana took the sudden force without any damage. Prolly not much to note, but hey it is note-able. Anyway I'm still gunna rock this Ruggedized Autana on TRON!

 

Tron looks good!
