    So you put that monster on a Kia? How does it handle? I am still looking at this as my Extreme is going to be to small for 3. Does it had over alot when closed? how is the wind on the highway?

    RTT mount to 1.5” round bar

    Agreed, bed type mount should be secured. Then again, you could just cut the cross rails. 2 guys 2 battery operated sawzalls Ior like) 5-10 min cut and go. Or the cut the mounts to the vehicle roof. Either way getting it off is the easy part. Thieves are not exactly careful when they steal...

    The best camping pillow I've found...

    For years backpacking I either used a shirt stuffed with softer cloths, or a jacket put in my tent stuff sack or sleeping bag stuff sack. Never had any issues other than wrinkled cloths. Now that I am older, wiser and have a RTT, I use a real pillow.

    4 person tent. Ikamper vs Freespirit Vs Smittybuilt XL

    That is great! I seriously look at these for you reasoning being the same. Both my Autohomes I got cheap and used Still replaced the mattress in both. I do not know if I would have spent 3-4K on a tent that is used less than 60 days a year. I know my wife would say NO WAY. When the kids decide...

    4 person tent. Ikamper vs Freespirit Vs Smittybuilt XL

    For the price of the ikamper, I would go with a Maggiolina Grand Tour. I had the Adventure (no longer sold) model in the Large and I can say it is about the size of a large queen bed. Solid (I hit a tree with mine and the tree was hurt) built and just a great RTT, plus I kept my comforter and...

    Flipping the usual dual battery system, lithium as starter battery, with small AGM backup.

    I am not sure why you would want to do this. From my understanding and I am very rusty on my understanding. The battery has 2 main functions. 1. to start the car 2. as a buffer for when the electrical system (alt) cannot provide enough power to the system and then the battery is used as...

    Painting / Protecting Maggiolina Extreme RTT

    A little late, but follow this advice. I am doing exactly that to mine now. Wet sanding with 500 grit sand paper. I have to repair some spider cracks and will use a marine putty to do so (white). I was thinking of repainting it with a marine based paint, but decided to so what Lemsteraak...

    Maggiolina changing room question

    Thank everyone. @Lemsteraak I like the idea of calling the factory. Language is not an issue as my wife is fluent in Italian.

    Why use a RTT?

    The the OP post. I just moved to a RTT (getting it this weekend), this is going on my '86 FJ60 when the rust is repaired (what I can see) and the rig painted. I ended up with a hardshell Maggiolina crank style (preferred for me over the Airtop style as those gas struts do fail over time). Why...

    RTT to ground tent any regrets or vice versa

    Well after camping in my FJ60 over the summer (inside) or my F150 I found a great deal on a Maggiolina Extreme med RTT that I am picking up this weekend. I had been looking at ground tents and ideally if I went RTT (which I had ruled out until I struck this deal) I wanted another Maggiolina as...
