*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

I have the Ayer and I'm 6ft 185lbs and it works fine. 2 people are comfortablely 3 super cramped, 1 person is like sleeping on a king mattress.

 

Not sure of the dimentions of the tent your looking at but I have a cvt mt Shasta so you can compare. I'm 6'3" 200 and my buddy is every bit of 6'5" and a little heavier than me and we both stayed in my tent from Philadelphia to Moab and back and never had an issue.

 

Ok so. Lemme get this straight, you and your buddy slept in your RTT and you found out he's every bit of 6'5"?

 

Thanks for the help guys! I'm so stoked to get such a cool piece of kit and join the club! I just don't know how I'm going to explain a nearly $1k tent to my friends who literally just throw their sleeping pad on the ground and sleep without a tent. (They called me prissy for thinking we'd be sleeping in tents during our 9 day Utah trip.) But hey, I'll be the one laughing when anything goes less than absolutely perfect.

 

Every time you wake up you'll say good morning peasants! that's what I do haha

 

That's perfect, I'll go ahead and do that!

 

Also when it rains you'll be like, glad I have a RTT. Plus when you set up late, and you're nice and warm by the fire and they're still setting up. It'll be worth it

 

good plan! thanks

 

Just joined the RTT club and am hooked. Picked it up Tues morning then headed straight out to Joshua Tree and am hooked...

 

Well, shit. I want a RTT and a trasharoo for when my truck is done, but no where to store this until then.

Trucks are dumb.

 

Not me, but have fun man! Headed on a road trip from AZ to AR in week and a half though, 70% RTT

 

Lol...We can hold it for you.

 

Has anyone upgraded the velcro or zipper on their straps/cover? I have a double sleeping bag and pillows in mine and the velcro is beginning to not hold up as well. Considering getting

$7 VELCRO Brand Heavy Duty Fasteners | 4x2" Strips 4 Sets | Holds 10 lbs | Stick-On Adhesive Backed | Black Industrial Strength | For Indoor or Outdoor Use, 90209

some of these and sewing them on. Also hoping to get a more sturdy zipper, like one of the ones with locking teeth.

 

Newbie to the RTT world so looking for input on my current setup for storing my Tepui.

The heavy duty dolly makes it really easy to move around and the strap is just slightly taunt, although it's pretty damned stable w/o it. Does this setup seem legit or???

 

That's how I store mine in my garage. Minus the strap

 

Thanks!!!

 

I use the same kind of dolly for mine. I haven't needed the strap, but it's a good idea. I would just loosen it a little when you're not actually wheeling the thing around.

 

Has anyone here either personally, through a third party or seen/heard on the webz of a RTT laden vehicle in an off camber situation flopping over due to most likely the tent being the cause?

 

Nothing specifically, but logically, the more weight you have above the roofline of the vehicle, the more top heavy and easier to roll it will be. However, if you mount yours over the bed with a low profile rack, it may actually help your vehicle off road by putting a little more weight over the rear wheels. Just depends on where you're planning on mounting it.
