*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Ive seen it. Not horrible

 

Yes I have a 6' bed

 

You know Steve at SMP?

 

I just follow him. And check to see if he will ship me the taco parts to VA

 

Lol I grew up with him. Still playing adult slowpitch with him during the week. Definitely a talented guy!

 

He wins the hot lady award too. He seems like a nice guy.

 

Did you order one?!

 

Sunday at 5am, i woke up to deliver the Roofnest to the buyer. When i woke up, i saw I had a Paypal balance, so i placed an order on Amazon for the automatic hardshell FSR M49

Somehow it was cheaper than ordering through the FSR website. And it was in stock. Lets just see if Amazon actually delivers and if its not damaged

 

Love my Boulder :-D

 

Im going to look for the picture that i had with the tent on a sb

 

So, this is a Roofnest Eagle. The 3 person tent, on a 3rd gen short bed.

Its not horribly long. But might be an issue if you have a higher swingout. Or if you want to put it higher, and hang it over the cab.

@Blackout14 had his CVT hardshell (on a long bed) on his cap/prinsu but had it hanging over the front, so he could open the cap glass.

Or another picture where you can put it on the cab? Id think that would look funky

 

The tent was not included in prime. But that makes sense

 

issac use to run their largest 6x model. it was massively larger than my old one



didnt mind mine until i took 3 weeks and did a daily run n gun setup and tear down of it.....was tired and sick of it after that








but now i dont mind the tent or awning room so much, alot more versatile

 

Got a question for everyone here and looking for some input.

I am going to be getting a Tilting Utility Trailer from my grandparents this weekend and I am wanting to try and build a rack system for my RTT but have it to where I can remove it if needed so my grandparents can still use it.

The trailer will be used to just haul the RTT to the Lone Star Toyota Jamboree, then setup the RTT for the event, and then take it back home. 45 minute drive on the highway and a brief off highway drive to camp. Pretty much so that I don't have to setup and take down the RTT every day during the event and so that I can also have the Annex setup as well throughout.

This is the type of trailer I will be getting. I am pretty sure it is a 5x9 or so.



My plan is to do something similar to this in the way it attaches to the trailer in a way, but with a support plate on the deck of the trailer for the feet that it bolts too as well.



But have it built similar to this in that it bolts together so that I could remove it as needed and store it. I like this design and through some research on this image I came across this thread https://tventuring.com/trailerforum/thread-111.html and then this site... https://compact-camping-concepts-2.myshopify.com/... so hell. I may just go that route and buy this kit since it looks pretty well built instead of trying to build my own kit.



Any qualms on this or suggestions? I am looking for total height to be high enough for the Annex to be functional, but if it needs to be shorter, it can be, but since I have an overhang on my RTT over the ladder, it really can't be too short on the trailer.

 

how that rtt is setup makes it completely worthless....guy just paid 1k for a tent that sits 2ft off the ground.



having some other way to support this would be ideal, i wouldnt trust a rtt plus a few people in a tent with this method...

ideally any height where the rtt is off the ground enough with a few inches of headroom to spare is good for use of the annex/awning.

 

I never had a issue with over the cab, but I had mine back and also over a cap

 

Had mine on the cab with a softtoper on the back. No real major issues, though it felt a little sketchy with some headwind heading west from Utah.

 

I think that's the one i wanna go with. Does it come two rain fly's? one without the windows?

 

No it does not.

 

Man it's going to be a trip going back to a Rain fly and taking the winter cover off. I'm looking forward to it though. Really satisfied with that weather cover . Would buy it again without hesitation
