NEMO RTT Spotted at Overland Expo Feature - Question...

[TeamDoty]

The recent feature showing many (awesome) images of overlanding machines and gear:

Showed an RTT from NEMO. I couldn't find any information about this tent on the NEMO site but perhaps it's something exclusive to the JK Habitat brand it's sold under at Adventure Trailers.

Anyway, I have only seen this previously as a tent folding forwards over the hood. In those images from the Expo there's a tent shown that folds backwards helping to form an awning over the back of the Jeep.

Very cool and logical... wonder if an RTT like this will be available someday as a more universal vehicle application?

It looks big is why I'm asking. We're stuck in a ground tent - TeamDoty is made of 5 members and I'm 6'3" 255 and my co-driver/navigator is a very beautiful 6' and the crew ain't gettin' any smaller (if you feed them they keep growing it seems) not sure there's an RTT that can handle us :sombrero:

It is an Adventure Trailer's AT Habitat "mega" rooftop tent - basically it what they are using on the tacoma but made to allow mounting on other vehicles like a Jeep JKU for example. NEMO makes the tent for them. There is a thread on here called "JK Habitat No Longer in Production?" which is what their previous version was called which was based on the Ursa Minor J180 product - but it flipped forward not backwards and only worked on the jeep JKU.

Here also is a video link (if it works): https://vimeo.com/168055427

Sleeping five people in one might be possible - depends on how friendly your kids are I guess. I don't have the dimensions for it but if you look at the version for the tacoma truck you will have it.

A double up config of Autohome Overcamps might be a solution if you want 5 persons in RTTs.
