*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

You could fab an L bracket that used the mount holes for a roofrack pretty cheap I suppose.

 

Took the rig with the rtt out for the first time over the weekend. Forgot to grab a pic with it set up so got one during a pit stop on the way back.

 

so im looking into buying a RTT, but being in the rainy part of the PNW i have some concerns with water/moisture. for those of you who have used it in rain/snow any moisture issues for the next set up on a multi night trip?

 

That’s a Rainier yes? Was it too big or just right? How many sleeping in it?

 

Correct, the Rainier extended. Two of us sleeping in it and it’s super spacious. Definitely could handle smaller; however, I prefer the extra space. Newly married and will most likely be adding a dog to the mix soon so the extra space was preferred.

 

My problem too- newly married and dog +\- new kid that’s not even cooking yet. Tough calls. Between the Rainier and Shasta

 

Also curious. Get lots of snow where I live.

 

Is that only on two bars?? Are those the 5" or 9"

 

Sits like this.


Mine are just the two bars

 

Snow is easier to deal with than rain in my eyes. You can get a brush and sweep at least the majority of the snow off. Rain water just soaks in, and you have to air it out. Super fun when you live in an apartment complex.

 

@Gunshot-6A I guess we haven't gotten very much snow in the last few years...

So what I'm confused about is - I'm going to have to leave it on my truck, if I have the cover on and it gets hit with rain do you still need to air it out or only if the cover is off?

 

Should only be if it gets on the tent body itself. Not sure what you are rocking, but the Tepui cover has been bombproof through 2 of our Utah summers and a winter.

 

Just ordered the kukenam yesterday via a black friday sale. Hense the dumb question(s). Lol. Just barely getting into the RTT game.

 

Mt Rainier is pretty dang big. My fiance and I have plenty of room for activities in there.

And our medium sized dog can completed stretch out

 

Took a lot of effort for me not to upgrade from the Ayer via that sale.

 

Hahahaha. You should've seen me, trying not to click "submit order" like my mouse was on fire.

Now just need to find a good deal on bars or a rack.. cant decide.

 

C4 is the rack I have. Quite affordable for what it is. Breaks down into the 2 sides, and 2 cross bars plus the froward brace. Could almost fit in a small coat closet if need be, but is incredibly stout when bolted together. If you are in Sandy/Midvale neighborhood, you can come take a look. Puts the tent bottom right above the top of the window.

So you can still use rear view too then? I'm in south sandy. I'll shoot you a PM.

 

Yep. I don't even see it in my rearview mirror. I'm 6ft for reference.

 

I'll give you the HAM discount if we upgrade this spring if you're interested
