I am looking for a hard shell RTT for a trip through Alaska and back from Texas being likely with a possible adventure going South pending political considerations through the Darien Gap and places less friendly to Americans.
The RTT needs real 4-season capability to deal with rain and snow loads easily along with potential high or gusty winds in mountainous areas. I'm in a 2013 Tacoma that has been heavily reworked for rough terrain. I have a TrukD bed system on its way to me along with Prinsu racks from the windshield to the tailgate. Most of this was ordered at the Flagstaff Expo last weekend is expected to ship in ~2 weeks for most major pieces.
I have been looking at the Ikamper and FSR tents mainly and I am receptive to other options if they meet my needs. I travel alone so modest sizing is desired but, I don't want to be trapped in a Cocoon if I hit heavy rains for example. The tent may move to an Expedition Trailer which is being considered currently (something similar to a Nuthouse Hickory or similar). CONUS and Surf Fishing will see it on the Tacoma for the most part so, any overly complicated installs need to be avoided.
