Just finished mounting the new RTT to the trailer:

I picked mine up there yesterday, it arrived in good condition. Got it unpacked and assembled last night, the only problem being the zipper slider was squeezed shut and I could not get the zipper started. Some needle-nosed pliers fixed that. I hope to get it fitted to the trailer this...

AZchris, DarthBeaver and I apparently bought the last three that he had. If he is out of stock, perhaps he should have taken down the Ebay ad. My tent arrived at the UPS freight yard yesterday, and I am picking it up after work today. Unfortunately, I leave for vacation tomorrow and won't be...

Ha, that's funny! I guess we will both find out, I just ordered one through their website yesterday.

Um...did you actually check out the way these tents set up? I had a big REI dome tent several years ago, and these Springbars look like a breeze to set up compared to that pain-in-the-rear dome tent. Maybe dome tents have come a long way since then, but I still don't see how they could be much...

I have heard really good things about these: http://www.springbar.com/explore/tentmodels/index.html I was planning to get one before I bought my trailer and decided to go the RTT route.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. That's really unfortunate. I guess I need to start shopping around. Anyone know anything about the CVT (Cascadia Vehicle Tents) brand tents? They look like another version of the same Chinese made tent, and the price isn't bad, even when you allow for shipping.

Anyone heard anything yet?

Just got a reply. He doesn't expect more tents until July.

Has anyone had any contact with Fernando lately? The site says that 2 of the 3 tent sizes are out of stock, and he is not responding to emails. I'm starting to wonder if I need to locate another tent source.

YJ springs here.

The box isn't very big, maybe 4' square or so. But I tend to travel light when I camp. Once the RTT is on there, that will free up more space. The ice chest and a couple of water cans can be strapped down on the front deck. That should leave more than enough space in the trailer box and...

When you say "milspec", do you mean actual military, or Mispec Offroad? Because it was indeed built by what used to be Milspec Offroad. His website is still out there, but he's not in business any more. Watch the website, though - last time I looked at it, it was infected with a virus.

Its not military. It was made by a guy that isn't in business any more.

Holy ****, that thing is huge!

It looks about the same as before, because I kept it olive drab, but I finally got the last bits reassembled after disassembling, new brake drums to match the bolt pattern on the Tacoma, new wheels, tires to match the Tacoma, and fresh paint. Now its time to get a RTT on it!

The trouble with something like that is, the non-stick coating eventually wears out, and then you end up with a nice set of pricey doorstops. Better to go with the cheap non-stick pans that you can toss when they are done.

Google info on surfboard construction. Surfboards are basically fiberglass over foam. At least they used to be, maybe they make 'em different in modern times!

Jeep YJ for me. Don't know if they are front or back, I didn't build the trailer.

Nice photo! It actually does have shocks, and it rides beautifully emtpy.
