Tulsa was cool and dry compared to Arkansas!

Thanks ... I didn't realize it would be retrofit table. But honestly, not sure I want to camp in those conditions again. A lifetime (60 years soon) in the West can spoil you. And I'll be up in Montana soon where I'm seeing forecast night time lows in the 30's already! Can't wait to get back near...

I have a stock DCSB TRD OffRoad which I just drove from the coast in California to Massachusetts. No lift, stock tires, auto trans, cab-high shell with Yakima crossbars and Tepui RTT. I was fairly loaded ... one passenger, two bikes, camping gear for a month on the road, plus a 50# 1Up bike...

I just stopped by the Lodge factory outlet store in Sevierville TN (home of Dollywod). A fun place to visit, with pretty good prices on seconds, but in the end I didn't buy anything. There's a Coleman outlet next door.

I have a Tepui Kukenam and I'm very happy with it. But ... as a California boy who usually camps in western deserts or mountains, but have just camped in the mid-South for the first time, I'll say the ventilation isn't adequate for hot humid weather. I don't have a fan, that should help, but our...

I'd say that the two halves of the mating extrusions on my tent don't always seat together completely, when opened, about half the time. Usually some gentle prodding does the trick. If not, it's always because I forgot to make sure the short straps that can hold up the cover are caught in the...

I had planned to just use a small bag but I like this idea. I'm heading out in a few days for 6 weeks on the road and I can't lose anything! And aside from the inconvenience, for 4 of those weeks I'll be without my wife, who is the one who found it last week :)

If you've folded up your tent, after carefully checking the gear pockets for anything important like a cellphone, wallet or keys, also check between the inner window coverings and the screens, if the window coverings were rolled down at night. Best to do this before driving 50 miles back to the...

I have mine open on the driver's side. Seems logical to me :)

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

I've only had my RTT for about 3 weeks, plus I borrowed one a few months ago for a 5 day trip including 100+ miles of washboard, so I've put on a few K miles with the RTT's with no problems. It's mounted on 2 Yakima crossbars on my ARE Z Series shell. The Z Series is supposedly reinforced but...

I am a few months short of 60 and was finding this to be a big problem with our ground tents. We just got a rooftop tent, and while many people complain about going up and down the ladder, I find it easier and faster than crawling out of the tent. In general, I find I take more items for...

It seems a few inches wider than the Ayer. Details and dimensions, plus a nice video are on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/275927959/tepui-project-white-lightning-hard-shell-roof-top One interesting feature is removable tent fabric so it can be used as a cargo box. As...

The computer is very accurate over a full tank, relative to measured gallons and mileage, which have their own problems. In fact, with the Eco app on the main screen, you can reset the reading without affecting the tank mileage display, for example at the top of a hill, and then reset it again...

I've lost a lot of weight in the past few years and have trouble finding something with enough room in the thighs and crotch that doesn't droop at the butt. I recently picked up a pair of REI brand Screeline shorts. They fit incredibly well; snug at the waist and butt, but roomy below, with a...

For all-around use I love my Keens. Not sure of the model, but it's a lighter weight "water sandal" that was discontinued, at least in men's sizes. I also have a pair of Cobian and a pair of Teva flipflops. The Cobians are durable, and look nice, but less don't fit snugly ... the thong is too...

I recently bought a non-ruggedized Kukenam camo. We had borrowed a Gran Sabana for a 4 or 5 day trip a few months ago, and had a mixed experience, but after looking at alternatives, decided to pull the trigger on our own, new, Tepui. We just got back from another 4 day trip and so far it's all...

FYI the owner of the Four Wheel Camper store in Jackson, Wyoming has an AT Tacoma Habitat. That's where I looked at it. Not too far from you ...

Congrats on the truck ... your needs (wants) sound similar to mine; access to trail heads and remote camping, and saved by the locker I the past. I also watched those CL ads from Putnam Toyota but never had the time or motivation to drive that far, so ended up buying a lightly used TRD OR from...

I had a chance to see this RTT at Tepui in Soquel last week, as well as another interesting product. Not sure how secret that other one is supposed to be, so I'll be discreet, but since they showed this tent at Expo West, I'll say that it looked good. Similar in concept to some Baroud and...
