*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

They send locking channel bolts with the tent. It's super simple. Only thing I had to do was cut the bolts shorter cause they stuck down under my rack too much and I tagged my skull loading for camping. Out came the angle grinder.

 

303 fabric guard is what I would try.

either or

 

...As we approached the next set of mountains, some old ranching equipment caught our eye - could this be the overlanding and insta-expedition trailer we'd always wanted?...

Question for the experts..

I have been gifted a 800# capacity TraRac setup (https://www.homedepot.com/p/TracRac...-Silver-Powder-Coat-Finish-27000-01/203346592)

Can anyone tell me if they have used this or a similar rack for their RTT or if it is even advisable? I could consider some slight modifications to make it work.

TIA!

 

What have y'all done for fans, lighting, phone charging, etc?

My tent is going on a trailer with dual batteries/solar, so I'm looking for convenience and comfort.

 

Goal zero yeti 500x power bank, plug a fan into that, as well as my phone. Has an outlet for pretty much anything you need. It’ll even run a fridge.

 

...Having visited the spectacle a couple times in the past, we knew what to expect and were looking forward to it! The cars - buried and stacked in various positions around the forest - have attracted various graffiti artists over the years, and while forest itself is stationary, the artwork is quite the opposite....

I emailed Tepui about 2 years ago because the straps (over the top of the cover) were frayed and one finally broke. So they sent me replacements very quickly. (amazing customer service)

But now I just had another strap break and I am looking to replace them with something a little stronger so they'll last longer this time. Surely someone else has had this issue before, any ideas?

 

DEWALT lithium Ion and battery powered LEDs. Anker power pack for charging .




The box fan I brought along on a recent trip to Colorado. I figured if I landed in a campground I could plug it in. It was actually awesome because of the White noise. I despise campgrounds!

 

I've seen it done in here somewhere. Straps were changed out with new straps and buckles. I'll probably do this down the road.

 

The fan has two retractable hooks and I hooked it directly to the aluminum frame on my Tepui.

 

Can those of you who rigged up pulley systems for removing / overhead storing your RTT's in the garage? Looking to rig something up in my garage and needing inspiration / tips.

 

@Bannerman has a nice setup to hoist his tent

 

Here's what I set up. Works great, takes the rack off with the tent.

Garage Hoist -Winter Weight Loss

The hoist I used was the 200 lbs Harken Hoister. Works great.

​

 

Racor? I have that one pinned for near future purchase.

 

Yes

 

That looks like an awful lot of weight there. I have the same hoist. 250lbs max.
