    2 meter awning that's easiest to open when alone

    I recently switched to a Eezi Awn Swift and like it a lot. I went from a standard ARB type 6’ awning that was ok, then had a Foxwing which was a whole project just to set up. When I got the Swift Awn I got it specifically for its quick and easy setup. About as easy as it comes, can be...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    That's funny I just went from a James Baroud Grand Raid XXL to the Skycamp. The JB is super plush, big mattress, warm and withstands wind better than the Skycamp. It was just too big on my truck and too small inside for my family of 4. Also getting in and out of the JB got tiring cl8mbing over...

    Light weight drawer system?

    My setup I built for my 80 includes 2 huge drawers and fridge house. It is about 110#. All 12mm Russian birch and 2 medium weight slides for the fridge. Drawers use UHMW tape instead of metal My buddy just got some Landshark Outfitters KISS drawers in his 80 today and they emphasize simplicity...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    We test fit a Tepui Deluxe 72x96 mattress in there and it fit, but wasn't a thorough test. Once I heal from surgery I'll be playing around with the tent. Can't do much now except stare at it right now haha

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    Nice to hear some feedback from real users on the iKamper. I got mine two weeks ago also but haven't been able to get out yet due to recovery from recent surgery. I plan on doing a lot of tweaks and improvements to it. In a perfect world, I'd like to see an aluminum shell with roof storage, a...

    SOLD:Oztent Foxwing Awning - California $525

    Selling my Oztent Foxwing awning. It's in great shape and has saved us from the surprise thunderstorm more than a few times now. Sadly, the awning doesn't work on my new setup. Hate to see it go. Maximum shade and protection from the elements. Ideal for your base camp setup. -Left (drivers)...

    Anyone use their RTT with very young kids? Expecting a baby this month.

    My daughter slept in the Tepui when she was 3 months for a dozen or so nights. We used the Snuggle Nest and kept her away from the walls on cold nights. Didn't have to worry about my son kicking her or us rolling over on her with it. Thing has a little night light and noises too and folds up...

    JB Owners

    I think I was too excited unwrapping the tent I don't even know if there was a cover lol. A cover would be nice though. Maybe I'll find a Smart Car or Mini car cover to use!

    For Sale: RTT, James Baroud Grand Raid XXL, California

    I'd have to agree, you'd have to mount it pretty far forward to clear the rear hatch of the teardrop. Doing that would look funky and judging by pictures, a rack on top of the teardrop would not be able to support all that leveraged forward weight of the JB. It's 90" long x 64" wide. Bigger than...

    Hard shell RTT options that can carry load on top

    My Grand Raid can carry 60# of gear. I use a Keeper bag that fits well up there. It carries TRED boards, shower, privy, toilet, shower mat, ground tent, and other spare gear.

    Awning (Foxwing) mounting with RTT (James Baroud) overhang

    The Rhino Rack is a very low profile rack on my 80 series so I didn't have a lot of up and down play. The top of the doors, when open, are about 1" below the bottom of the awning and the ladder tabs on the JB are the upper limits. My other constraints are that the awning needed to extend out...
