For those that have an RTT, im looking to get input, I want to get the Kekunem Tepui, the 3 man tent. It will my myself, one other and 2 full size pups ~70lbs each. Will it be cramped in that tent?

I currently have a coleman Costco special, 3-4man? It sleeps both of us and the 2 pups with enough room for our clothes and ish.

Will it be cramped in the Kekunem?

 

Depends on how much you like to cuddle and how much your dogs move around. I had the autana, which has the same sleeping footprint as the kukenam if I remember right and with my wife and I plus our little boy it was just about right. He moves around alot which made it seem tight at times but it was ok. If the dogs will curl up by your feet and stay put I would say it is perfect. If they are going to be going back and forth all over and want to sleep by your faces I would think it will get cramped pretty quick

 

Why not put the pups in the annex? That's where mine live, right next to the heater. Dog heaven in the winter.

 

Set yours up in The front yard and measure it. Compare those specs with the tepui if it is smaller get a piece of masking tape, stick iton the floor of your tent and get you and the wife and dogs in there and see if you can make it work with going over the line .If the tepui is bigger youll have no problems .

Looks like a great trip! Thanks for the awesome photos.

 

It was really incredible. Couldn't have asked for a better trip with better company.

 

Anyone going to Tepui Fest?

 

It's going to be held at Hollister Hills SVRA October 16-18th...the band is awesome.

 

Who is playing?

 

Thrive - They're a reggae band.

 

Are there any pros or cons on swapping to a telescoping ladder?

 

Took a little trip over the weekend

 

Noticed the plastic bed rails sinking after spending the night. I'm using armor tech bed bars and they have 4 mounting locations. Has anyone needed to reinforce the top of the bed with they're setup? Or is the plastic just pushing down because there is a gap between the metal and plastic cover from factory?

 

I have a few questions. Hopefully some of you guys can help me.

Q: 1. Do you guys keep the tent on the rack all season?
2. Are the tents hard to remove from the rack?
3. Do you wish you had a canopy instead at times?
4. How do you keep the rest of your camping gear dry?
