    Difficult Putting James Baroud RTT Down - Gas Cylinders

    Thank you Dozer Dan. That is helpful. Do you think it would be possible to retrofit my older style with the handles that your newer tent is equipped with. There has to be a way you would think.

    Difficult Putting James Baroud RTT Down - Gas Cylinders

    Thank you very helpful. How many pounds of pressure are the non cargo struts? Would there be a noticeable difference? Are the old ones easy to take out and the new ones easy to put in? Is it possible to retrofit your tent with the crank/scissor jacks? Lastly, what would be the cost of each...

    Difficult Putting James Baroud RTT Down - Gas Cylinders

    Thank you for your reply. I am thinking the RTT'S with the crank would have been a better choice. I wonder if I could have mine changed from the cylinder to the crank.

    Difficult Putting James Baroud RTT Down - Gas Cylinders

    I have the explorer model. Bought it about 2 years ago. I have only used it on one trip but I had to fight with it every time I closed up the tent. Yeah, when you get it close to latching, that is the hardest part for me. I really struggle with it. I wonder if any modifications can be made.

    Difficult Putting James Baroud RTT Down - Gas Cylinders

    I know Iam getting older, but i find it quite difficult to pull my fiberglass top back down. Seems pretty hard to hold it down while at the same time trying to get it latched.
