The Smittybilt tents can be found $900 new. Look for a used Smitty maybe?

Only bad thing I see about the Road Shower is that food-grade clear hose. UV eats them up in no time.

You guys ever seen the "stove" attachment for the lanterns? There were several makes. The one I have is called My Cookin' Buddy.

After eyeing a Tepui Kukenam for about a year, I found the Smittybilt. I went with it just to start out with. For one, it was so inexpensive, I could afford it sooner than I expected. Compared to the cost of the Tepui, I got the Smitty tent and awning and still had about $250 left over. I...

I always bring my hiking backpack when offroad. Compass, tent, water filter, fire starters, Mountain House, butane stove, etc. Everything I'd need to stay a few days or walk out to get help. When we're in the vehicle, the phones generally stay plugged in. Adding additional USB ports is...

The only time I've used it was sitting outside watching the stars. A fire would ruin your night vision but you can run the catalytic heater by your feet and hold your hands over it, staying toasty.

What Coleman addiction? (I'm still in denial.)

What always messes me up is which side is up on the climbing pins.

Mine opens to the back for two reasons: 1 - I have a rear door, not a rear hatch. The RTT doubles as a rear awning when deployed. I used clevis pins to make removal of the ladder simple. 2 - I'm still running the factory roof rack, which isn't the strongest option out there. When entering...

It comes with u-bolts and L-brackets.

I've not been able to put mine to use nearly as often as I'd intended, but the quality seems excellent. I think the complaints about Smittybilt are largely overstated so people who've paid more for the same thing with a different brand's name on the cover can feel good about themselves.

How many times a year do you plan on using it?

I just use whatever 7-gallon trash bags the grocery store has. I also always line the Trasharoo with heavy duty trash bags.

The stove tech overlaps with the lantern tech as well. I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to the lanterns, and I love to use them, but it's hard to argue that LEDs aren't winning out at this point. I don't know if it has been mentioned yet or not, but there's an adapter to let the...

I've never had one of those red funnels not leak.

Something to consider: with the tent opening on the passenger side, when it is deployed and the back hatch is open, you'll have to walk around your swing-out tire carrier to access the rear. Might matter to you, might not.

I don't know - just asking, because I'm a nerd, and maybe you can fill me in - but is there any concern for galvanic corrosion in this application?

Dual Fuel lanterns and stoves will run on gasoline, but the generators foul far more quickly and I would like to minimize the number of toxins burning off around the food I'm cooking.The generators for each aren't particularly cheap though, and replacing a generator fouled by gasoline quickly...

When we go into the woods, I carry two gallon cans in a milk crate in the back of my FJ. I carry a 2-burner suitcase stove, a couple lanterns, and a single-burner backup stove. I have a Coleman metal funnel I throw in the crate with the cans.

Always!
