*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Gotcha. Wind is a monster lol

 

Holes? Haha my rain fly had holes. Was pissed. A year later they sent me a new one

 

i never want to experience this again

 

no she just apparently cant get out of a ladder properly and always hit the rainfly as she came down which caused everything to drip on her.

 

That is exactly how the wind storm at moab was! It was horrific, I thought the truck was going to get blown over lol

 

we eventually bailed and went inside the vehicle. was the worst night sleep ever. Wife was so anxious and i couldnt get any sleep with shit flapping around like that.

 

Ear plugs do wonders

 

as much as we were shaking/rocking it wouldnt have mattered much.

 

I'm weird and can't stand sleeping in ear plugs. Causes a weird pressure build up in my head and I get a headache while sleeping...

 

No ear plugs for you guys then.


Haha I get it. I get the insanely soft ones for sleeping and I can manage. The thunderstorms get me when you can feel the percussion through your chest and it wakes you up.

 

haha! i have a video just like that while out in the mojave...thought the tent was going to rip off the truck!

 

...just after the next water crossing we all pulled to the side of the road making a clear path for the UTVs to just keep driving on the road.

But no. These were UTVs. And when you drive a UTV, rule #1 is "Be a Dick." So they crossed the river, and then proceeded off-trail to skirt around us. And not just by a couple feet - we're talking 30- or 40-feet off of the road.

Nice, guys. Way to be stand-up humans.

To relax our nerves, we turned back to enjoy the views around us. Despite the UTVs, life was good.

Anyone know if you can fit a RTT (2 man) on a 1st gen doube cab without the tent sticking off?

 

Yes, I have a Tepui Kukenam on my 03 dlb cab

 

Nice looking rig !

 

Making me miss my 1st Gen, Nice rig!

 

I picked up the new 23ZERO Litchfield last night from my buddies shop, got it unboxed and mounted on the truck there and then finished putting the ladder on and all that when I got home. Just myself and him is all it took to lift it up and put it on the truck, so am pretty happy about that as it will not be hard to remove it from the truck for storage if needed.

First impressions:
Seems really well built, fabric is nice and thick, all the stitching looks really good and no fraying or loose stitches that I can see.
The overhang is a really nice addition to this and provides some extra privacy to the door.
Rainfly is already on it and is easy to adjust or remove if needed, it does block the stargazer when attached, but it is easy to fold back that portion if you want.
Mattress feels really nice and their is plenty of space inside to sleep and store clothes bags or what not.
Lots of ventilation and windows built in, tons of storage pockets inside, and lots of places to clip lights, hang stuff from, etc around the tent.
It took me a while to setup for the first time as I was checking everything out, but should be pretty easy for now on, folding it up and storing it for the second time last night was actually pretty easy and went smoothly.

I will need to set it back up in the daylight so I can drill different holes for the ladder pins so it will level out better and so I can check it out more, but I am definitely ready to take it on a camping trip for sure!

Only issue I have, but no fault to the tent is the window that is against the cab of the truck, I can put the window rod in the side that is facing the driver side, but not the other side due to the cab being in the way, but I can either use a bungee cord to the roof rack to open it, or just leave the window closed all the time since their are other windows in the tent. I carry bungee cords with me in a camp box so no issue there really. I may also just put a tie down ring on the prinsu and can just use either a bungee cord one of those NiteIze twist ties to hold it open.

It comes with an annex, but not sure how much I will use it, depending on the weather tomorrow, I would like to set the tent up again and at least set up the annex to see how it sets up and what it looks like to see if it would be something that I would want to at least bring with me on trips just in case, or just leave home.

Only other thing that I want to do, is flip the bed bars around as the one towards the cab has eyelets on it that I can use to hang stuff at camp and the one at the tailgate has light mounting tabs that I will use to mount some lights behind the cab of the truck for side lights. For rear lights I am going to order two of the mounting slides that go in the tracks under the tent and can then mount two lights right off the back of the tent.

 

Awesome write up! Will for sure help people that are looking into 23zero

 

I will be taking more pictures of it during the day as that is one thing that I had a hard time finding of it before getting it, was just pictures. The pictures on the website just suck if you want any sort of visual of the inside of the tent. So hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow and I can get that done.

 

Anyone with a tepui ever have a squeak develop when it’s packed away? Mine has started squeaking like crazy even just driving down the road. It’s not from the mounting points on my crossbars. That’s the first thing I checked. It’s almost like it’s coming from inside the tent somewhere somehow.

I’ll try to figure it out next time I have it open but I figured I’d ask to see if anyone has had anything like this develop.
