Should say why I went with a cot, the cot allows me to keep the interior available when I have passengers. As you know when the rear seats are folded down the seat bottoms fold forward. I can't fit on the floor with those forward seats in the way. The cot clears those seats and gives me the...
I'm 5'11" and sleep on a cot in the 4, that could be the issue but I store things under the cot while traveling. I feel I don't bring a lot of excess but I just don't have the room with the cooler and clothes, cooking/camping gear, etc., in there with me. Last trip was in the 30's and it was...
I sleep in the back of mine also and have both the lock and window switches. I use both. I lined around the back window with velcro and have a screen there so no bugs get in at night when the window is down. Still may go with a hard shell RTT cuz I am not that comfortable inside, just not...
Sorry John, just now saw your post and did not get an alert on it.....That battery fits the Yeti 400

I am also looking at the Eezi-awn Dart but it is pretty heavy. Can get it for $3400 with free shipping from Mainline Overland. That is a lot cheaper than having the SMXL Columbus shipped. The Dart seems like a good tent but again, a ginormous amount of money to spend on something sight unseen.
Appreciate it Ray and great pic. What size Columbus did you get? I am almost 6 foot and was worried the SM was going to be too small since part of the Columbus I hear is basically unusable due to the design. So i was shopping the SMXL but wonder if it's necessary. Any suggestions on that...
Thank you for your feedback and for posting your experience.
It is making the decision extremely hard not really being in an area to view these things. I may see a rtt here maybe once a month driving around (always a soft shell) and have never seen one camping.
Which Autohome did you get...
Came across this the other day and thought it was pretty interesting. Self powered and the batteries can be swapped out. Also excepts solar, 12V, and AC at a pretty reasonable price. It seems as long as you buy from the company or Amazon you will avoid the knockoff that people have issue...
Wow 7 years and still going strong on a supposedly "not as good" Chinese tent.. thats great....do you keep it on the vehicle 24/7? Also great point on the customer service aspect of this crazy equation. Roofnest apparently takes pride in their customer service and have answered every...
I remember when you had these issues and this is another concern, worse actually since you thought you were buying quality. Just because these things are more money doesn't mean they are better. It seems the only thing your extra money buys is a better warranty.
This is what I need to hear, thank you. I am in contact with Roofnest and they said they have an older model for $500 off....I passed. The 2019 Sparrow has been upgraded so I am wondering if some of the build quality issues you experienced have been taken care of?
The Wildland tents look to...
