I wanted to ask the collective if anyone had any ideas on the best roof rack setup to put a RTT on my home built teardrop? The tear has 3/4 plywood sides that are setup to carry a lot of load, so my initial thoughts on this were to buy a set of thule 953 (11" high) or 387 (8" high) gutter...

Anyone know how frequently 4WP puts the smaller RTT on sale? It was sitting around $719 for most of Nov/Dec., but now it's jumped back up to $900. I'm kicking myself for not pulling the trigger earlier, because the tent seemed like a steal at $719, but I'm not sure it seems like such a good...
