    Tepui Tent RTT

    Forgot to add: I want to give a genuine, heartfelt "shout-out" to the customer service at Tepui. They've done everything I've asked of them, and they've met every need I had regarding their products.

    Tepui Tent RTT

    I do have some pictures, but I'm not sure they'd be diagnostic for you or helpful. Were I to do it all over again, I would insist on having a sliding ladder rather than the telescoping one. No "dis" on the product, just that the slider has fewer moving parts and feels more stable. I also...

    Tepui Tent RTT

    Multiple latches failed on my telescoping ladder. I've read that others have had issue with dirt getting into the mechanism and binding it up. I was told that the mechanism may have become misaligned during use. - Or, it could've been my 800 pound hairy gorilla backside running up and down the...

    Tepui Tent RTT

    Still experimenting. I'm contemplating adding a second tent, and thinking of a way to attach them to the entrance area of the Autana annex, face-to-face. So, if you're looking out of the front door of the annex, you'd have a tent to your right and to your left. Still working on a way to have...

    Utility Trailer to Off Road Expedition Trailer (Yes or No; thoughts???)

    Why not build a slide-in teardrop-type module when you need it? Adds to the versatility of the build.

    "Serenity" - My M101A2 expedition trailer build

    Shot from the hotel in Amarillo... They let me park up front. :) Here's a shot looking forwards towards through the RTT annex and towards the front. My daughter is on the sleeping platform inside the trailer. To the right, you can see where we put our 11yo son; on a folding table. Made a...

    "Serenity" - My M101A2 expedition trailer build

    "DEJANGLED" Forgot to mention - all tents have been "dejangled" - all zipper tabs have been removed & replaced by paracord. Got tired of everything sounding like a freaking herd of reindeer every time I went in or out of the tent. Call it vestigial military noise discipline. Or OCD...

    "Serenity" - My M101A2 expedition trailer build

    Insulation... Interior lights: Completed Mk02 interior: The blue-white is painted-on silicone roof sealant that waterproofs & makes a nice, non-skid surface. Coated wood panels enclose the areas under the side compartments. Eventually I want to put water tanks, pump, etc. within.

    "Serenity" - My M101A2 expedition trailer build

    Thanks! About the topper - it's made by Knapheide - that's the brand of top you see on work trucks. I got it locally off of Craigslist. Looked for one for a loooooong time.
