71"x94" CampingLab RTT alternatives

[BigDaveZJ]

As much as I'd love to go with the CL tent based on everything I've read here about their quality and the awesome service Fernando provides, I may need to look elsewhere for the RTT.

Is there something out there that's comparably sized, as well as comparably priced?

Hopefully they will be available in time for me to still be able to use CL, but I'd like to cover my bases.

Thanks!

This unit from Car Top Camper looks to be pretty much the same as the CL, albeit a bit more $$.

Seems to be a whole bunch of different tents out there that look to be about identical, with a wide range of prices.

In case there is confusion,

Compact Camping Concepts
Car Top Camper
TRD parts 4U

are all Mombasa Outdoors dealers. The tent don't only look identical, they are.

which one did you end with? any accessories?

 

[BigDaveZJ]

Got the big 71x94 Mombasa. No accessories, just the tent. It's sitting out in my truck at work right now, can't get to get home and open it up!

It'll be a while before it's mounted up. Still need to fab up a lid and rack for the M416.

I was going to post up that Mombasa at TRDParts4U. That seemed like a good deal. I just bought this one from them:

It should be here in a day or so. I wish I had a longer box on my pickup to fit the bigger one but I don't so I had to go with the medium-sized one.

I just ordered the 3-person Mombasa from Expedition Ops. Their website is under construction right now, but I sent an email, and Jeremy has been very attentive. It's been a great experience so far.

I'll post some picks when I get it mounted, but it may be a few weeks as I am working on a custom rack to mount it over the shell on my Dakota.
