*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

I reached out to Tepui and Thule to see.
Here is what we are looking at if anyone has an idea to a part number.

It’s the 3rd rung from the top

 

Hey everyone, wanting to know how do ya'll get big dogs up into the RTT other than carrying them? I recently had ankle surgery and I can't have too much weight on it let alone carry a 75lb husky up into my Kukemon RTT. Any advice on what to buy or build would seriously be appreciated! Thanks in advance ya'll.

 

Check out the doggo ramp from desert armor. may take a few treats to train him but that is the purchaseable option

 

Ah, thanks so much for that recommendation! I will check it out!

 

I have some friends that use this

Anyone got a CVT Mt Thieslen? Planning to pick-up the large one, with Annex. Also going to grab the Awning Shower and maybe a road shower and fridge/freezer. Some of the LED disc-fans too.

Are there any owners who would recommend any other "you CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT ...."?

 

finally making the move from a soft shell tent to a hardshell/wedge type tent & wondering about bed rack height, as these tents extend over the cab.
i'm unsure how tall the rack should be to allow proper clearance between bottom of tent & the sharkfin to allow for the differential flexing of cab & bed while on moderate offroad tracks. is there any concensus on the clearance needed? about an inch'll do? would like to be as low profile as practical.
thx & feel free to share pics!

 

I like having a shoe bag that hangs next to the ladder (as pictured in the Mt Thielsen pics) - maybe not as necessary if you deploy an annex with a floor though every time. Keeps the tent cleaner if you don't drag your muddy/dusty shoes in.

 

I was hoping it came with two since their site includes it in all the pictures. But I guess I better confirm. Thanks!!

 

All pro has a bed rack for over the cab tube height. I think it’s close to 21” to clear the cab

 

very clean!
so 1st gens have the sharkfin? if so, what's clearance from it to tent bottom?
also, what size KM3's??

 

No shark fin but bottom of tent is about 2” from the cab. My tent is a pretty short wedge style so it doesn’t go far over the cab. Honestly if I had the truck before the tent I’d probably get one like the ikamper mini and keep it below the cab. Km3’s are 255/85/16. I also wanted the rack to make it able to carry mini bikes so I can take my son out camping.

 

thanks...
so 2" between tent rail to cab roof with no flexing problem on trails i take it...
same size KM3 i run & love them...

 

FYI RTT folks...selling my tent and rack. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/texas-classifieds-2-0-read-post-1.620549/page-671#post-27825583

 

Limited edition Yakima X Poler SkyRise Rooftop Tent. Picked it up used for $900. Best investment yet!

 

have you used it in the rain yet? thats a nice looking rain fly. i have a kukeman from tepui and water will pool up and start to drip through in a heavy rain. pretty annoying.

 

same. Heavy rain sucks. What is superior that is in the $2000 range?

 

no idea. i got my kukeman for like $1200 on sale since they were being acquired by thule.

ive been eyeing an ikamper or roofnest. they seem like the water would either run off or pool up on the awning part. but im planning on getting a shell before i make a tent swap

 

color matched camper shell is key!!! Its hard to find one that can handle all the weight on top.
