    Found a lose part in my CVT tent. Where does it go?

    Winner winner chicken dinner! I looked at a small section of the floor under the anti condensation mat and missed it. Upon further review I removed more of the floor and found where it went. Thanks for the replies.

    DIY Propane Firepit

    I am thinking you could put some large holes in the sides of the ammo can. Perhaps 5 or 6 baseball sized holes going around the perimeter of the can itself. I suspect it would let the lava rock fall out if it were to tip over during transport, but otherwise I think the can would hold its shape...

    DIY Propane Firepit

    Well, it would look sweet next to my M101 trailer. At this point I don't see how I could not make one. Thanks again for the great idea. Full disclosure: when I get compliments at the campsite, I am not giving you any credit at all. :elkgrin:

    The Contraption - a M101A3 Build

    I have to tell you.......If you had said you were painting it white, I would have done my best to talk you out of it. But once the paint was on it, it actually looks pretty darn good. The whole trailer is looking sweet! Very cool how it matches the Jeep perfectly as well. White body with a...

    While I may have bashed you in your other thread about your tent, I can understand where you are coming from in this post.

    RTT Anti-Condensation Mat

    Correct me if I am wrong: isn't the point of the anti condensation mat to lift the mattress off the base of the tent, to allow the water from condensation to evaporate and to keep it from soaking into the mattress? I used my RTT for 3 days in Maine and there was no rain. When I folded the tent...

    Found a lose part in my CVT tent. Where does it go?

    My wife was in the tent and found this "pin". Any idea where it goes? I am not even 100 percent sure it goes with the tent. Pin is about the diameter of a pencil and about 1.5" long. Pin is black plastic/nylon. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Why is Howling Moon So Bad at Business?

    Stryder brings up a good point. Sort of makes one wonder why so many people are familiar with how good their customer services is? I am a big handgun guy. All the time you hear how great Taurus handguns customer service is. You know how it got to be so good? Because they have had plenty of...

    Roof top tent for a family of four which one?

    Orenv, I agree with DoorDing. IMHO the entire point of the rooftop tent is fast deploy and fast take down. I can literally park and be up in my RTT with my head on the pillow in 2 minutes if I had to be. I suppose if I were super paranoid of snakes/scorpions, that could be another reason to want...

    Looking For A Very Long RTT

    I have (and love) the CVT Mt Mckinley. It is 8' wide. Plenty of room for you and the wife. Maybe a kid or two as well. Here is a link to the Denali > Its more or less the same tent except my Mckinley has an overhang above the ladders to attach an annex to...

    RTT's and Large Breed Dogs - How Do You Cope?

    Might be a typo in your post. It says you travel with 5 dogs. Nobody is that much of a glutton for punishment. The dog noise while traveling would drive me nuts :P.

    RTT's and Large Breed Dogs - How Do You Cope?

    We have a smallish boxer who loves to sleep with the family. I run an M101A3 with a truck cab on it and a RTT. The entrance to the tent is at about the 7 foot mark. Boxer dog, while not too heavy, is too squirmy to lift up and down from that height. I recently picked up a 16' aluminum...
