    Comfort of a RTT mattress!

    Corey - this looks like a "hypoallergenic" version of a feather bed. A good idea, but with your AirLand it may not crush down quite enough -- I don't know for sure. Worth a shot at that price. I believe in maximum comfort possible after a day out walking, photo taking, fishing, bird hunting...

    I have an older (discontinued) stainless and aluminum 2 burner Camp Chef - The Riverrunner. It is under 15 lbs., pumps out a ton of heat, and has lasted for years. It is much better than any Coleman stove I've had, and I have had a number of them.

    Comfort of a RTT mattress!

    There is significant variability between the materials and designs employed by several manufacturers. Additionally, the user's physique and sleeping position will be a factor in comfort. There are several solutions. Memory foam is Ok for warm climates, but it will become very hard when cold...

    Rooftop Tent Fabrics and Care

    More specifically, finding the balance that Martyn mentions is dependent on the actual design of the tent (which determines the fabric specifications) and upon the conditions of use.
