Not a thread jack at all! The more questions, the more answers hopefully. Thanks for joining the discussion. At this point I am just as interested in larger capacity tents as smaller. Good question about the differences. Excellent info, thanks for sharing! I didn't realize the differences...

That's great info. Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning the James Baroud, that was my other hard shell RTT of interest. That is great info about the heater, and I was hoping the angle for removing snow would work out too. Thank you!

Great supporting vote for the Maggiolina. I'm pretty sold on it. Thank you!

Been there, done that, no thanks. As I mentioned, you are required to put snow chains on every tire when trailering. When going up and down mountains passes with snow/ice on top, and dry roads at the bottom, I don't want to be taking chains on/off constantly on a trip. That slows you down A...

Thanks for the really insightful reply. All very good points. Sounds like Maggiolina is the right tent for me! I'm not sold on the veranda yet either. After all, I've managed to change with just my truck snowboarding for years.

Yeah, that's is one of my concerns. I'm sure it can be done, but how much, and what negative effects could it have repeatedly over time? I'll ask you next Spring. Great, I'm on the right rack then. Thanks for the replies and info. @cruiserpilot that article was very helpful, thanks again.

Got my Seal 12.5RS from Rod, am am very impressed with the quality and service so far. I haven't had the chance to really use it yet beyond initial tension-spooling it, but it appears to be every bit as good if not better than my previous Warn M8000.

Any updates on the Maxsa? I already have a winch and Auburn rear LSD, and want at least a pair of traction surfaces, and am willing to shell out for some good onces like Maxtrax, but at $600 for 4, that's also 60% the way toward a front air locker as well. Obviously I want as many options and...

Excellent points Yarjammer. Yes the annex is a major point. It should hopefully not be an issue to get the tent aired/dried out within a week. Autohome offers a "changing room", awning, and winter hood, which may sell me on the Maggiolina Extreme http://www.autohomeus.com/accessories/

After more searching, the Autohome Maggiolina Solar reflective and Winter hood for their vertical RTTs may be a good solution for winter, and they offer their changing room for their units. Maybe I answered my own questions, but I'm still interested in others' experiences and thoughts.

I am looking for the most robust, waterproof, heavy duty RTT that also hopefully has the ability to withstand snow that may gather overnight, and can withstand being packed away wet, frozen, etc. I know tenting in the snow is not everyone's favorite but I am a dedicated snowboarder who wants to...

Thank you for the replies, they are very helpful. I guess getting a real winch line extension would be ideal, I may consider that. I'm in Northern California and plan to head into the Sierras and there are usually trees and rocks, but I wanted this in case I get stuck in an open area above...

I have a 1st gen. Tacoma that will be loaded down pretty well with armor, gear and 8000lb winch. I just saw the "make your own line" thread but I just dont have time for that right now nor do I trust myself enough. I ordered an ARB winch extension strap for it and then realized it was rated to...
