    Here is a video we just made of what happens when the tent falls of. Not really trying to push our YouTube as we literally only have this one video but we thought it would be interesting enough to share.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    That same thing happened to a guy I was off-roading with. Towards the end of the day, the bolts holding the rack system to canopy completely tore through the fiberglass canopy and his tent parted ways with him. It took a little ingenuity but we were able to get things bolted down enough so he could get home ( there may have also been a ratchet strap in there just for good measure).

Considering the the two years here in Alabama has been the wettest that we have had in a while. The over all condition of the tent and awning is very good. I found so mold or mildew, I’m not sure which. The question I have is how can I clean it off the fabric without messing up the material?

    Installed a Leer 100XR & Leer (Tepui) RTT last month. Shell had the rails already installed. Leer RTT owners manual says the tent will work with 100 XR plus 7 other models just as they are built. Made my own shell mounts to keep the rails open for other uses. Made my own tent mount. 1600 miles, including some off-road with no issues. I am still averaging (for the whole trip) over 20mpg with the RTT on. Amazing! Installed an Air-Lift overload today to help with the added weight.

    found out on Friday why my tent hasnt shipped. Evidently poor inventory calculations and they are out of stock on the 55" Premium Tri Layer. But they have the standard which is the same tent just no tri layer. That will hopefully ship out today. But it allowed me to slip in the @fatfurious2 discount.

    Did some camping over the weekend in our new tent. Super happy with the setup compared to my old RTT and annex. Kid seems to be enjoying it as well.

    what is that secondary panel? I like the looks of it. Looks very similar to the one that I made:

    If you're talking about the frame for the lower shell, yes it's .065" wall 1.5" DOM.

    Doors haven't rattled off, and seem very sturdy. But mine are also the new hinge design, not the design that kept tearing. So we'll see :notsure:

    Definitely don't regret my purchase so far.
