    Roofnest

    Yes, I do. I've had it off twice in seven years for a couple weeks each time. The fiberglass has seen shinier days and 2 out of 3 CVT logos have disappeared....;). I've used the 3M fiberglass restorer, but it doesn't last. I guess it needs a new gel coat to have that "new look". But as long as...

    Roofnest

    Not a bad idea, if you could swing a deal with a used RTT and are a 1st time user. I've had my CVT Mt. Baker hardshell for almost 7 yrs now. Had one problem with it and had the tent replaced by Bobby, the CVT owner. You can read about it if interested on the link provided. But, in hind sight I...

    Go Fast Campers- taught enough in winds?

    To each their own. Living on the road for weeks/months at a time has different consequences, though. The GFC lineup presents some awesome possibilities, but you can't escape the premise that storage is reduced when the closed height is less. I like the GFC Camper for a pickup. It would make...

    Go Fast Campers- taught enough in winds?

    Yeah, it looks like the bedding is extremely limited to what you can keep in it when closed. But, wow, I'm impressed. My only other concern is the struts being out in the elements. These have a limited life in a protected environment. I'm wondering how they'll hold up. Might want to keep a spare...

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    If you keep the awning mounted in the weather, dust & sunshine or really even stored somewhere, don't neglect the zipper. It is excellent quality, but still needs care. With the length involved - the complete length of awning - it is a critical component. It seals up the bag, so zipper problems...

    270 deg square back?

    That's pretty cool, but I like the Kinsmen. I also like that it's built here, in the USA.

    270 deg square back?

    E-mail sent - Thanks! And thanks for the mounting info - I'm sure it'll be useful to others, too. I think your company should do well - your products look like just what overlanders have wanted, but were not available.

    270 deg square back?

    Matthew, I'm interested in your Shower Camp stall. I already have a Alu Cab Shadow awning, so am impressed with your design, especially since your steel version is only 10 lbs heavier than the aluminum Alu Cab! A couple questions. Is 28" of open area on the side of my roof rack all that's...

    Hiker / Lead Dog Trailer Owners Post Up

    The important thing is to be satified, overall. And it sounds like you are and that's encouraging, despite my previous comments.

    Hiker / Lead Dog Trailer Owners Post Up

    Thanks for the pics & feedback. I was hoping not to hear that about the inside workmanship. Sounds like they're whipping these out asap without a valid QC inspection. Not good news. How is the outside quality? I hope I'm wrong! Main reason I want to go with a "company built" trailer is their...

    270 deg square back?

    Coming from owning an Alu Cab Shadow, I know it would be heavy. They've copied quite a few features from the Shadow. The hinges look familiar. The arms that pivot up to put a slope to the tent fabric and the re-enforcing patches, too. Problem with the patches are you'd best do a seam sealer on...

    Did you read the title - what it's called: Batwing Front Edge Zippered Insert Not to mention this note on their webpage: "The Batwing Front Edge Zippered Insert fits the Batwing (31100) Left only. " They called it "Front Edge" for a reason, so I'm thinking it only goes in 1 place, but what...

    The preorder discount is almost 20%. I don't think you're gonna beat that unless you luck into an awesome group buy.

    TEPUI Hybox Announced!

    Ya might want to click on the pre order link, then click on the "get yours" link. It answered most of my questions and verified my suspicions. For example, to fully utilize the cargo carrier feature or carry lots of stuff, Tepui suggests removing the mattress in addition to the canopy. Now if...

    My Journey

    What did you do with the stuff you didn't sell and wanted to keep, but couldn't carry, while you were full timing? Like tools, for example, drill press, power & table saws & I'm sure other stuff? 8+ yrs is a fair amount of time. I wonder if Jerry ever plans to settle down......for a while...

    My Journey

    Yeah, I'd like to travel around Central America, but I'd need Venezuelan fuel prices and somehow get a camper & towed rig through Mexico...lol. I agree that the lack of ventilation is what is behind your moisture problem. I have a Fantastic Fan (brand name) in my Lance. Something like that might...
