BTW, this very RTT is famous since it was on one of Expedition Portal's first Baja Expeditions back in the day :costumed-smiley-007

The ladder helps some but the tent structure does the most work, it will hold your weight fine. They do very well in high winds also.

Wow doc, now that is retro expo!!! Nice write up however that wasn't my wife - it was my sister. Yuck haha
Hey Fred, the tent will hold you guys just fine. The tent itself distributes the load well but the ladder is definitely necessary. The wood floor has about a 2x1 wood perimiter. Also the extruded aluminum underneath the ladder side of the tent helps spread the weight.
As for winds,it will do just fine. It has been in strong winds 3 times. Once in Joshua tree and the other times in ocotillo wells/anza. The pictures I posted were from last week in ocotillo where the winds were quite annoying. We had sustained winds at about 25-30mph with gusts at least to 50mph. My wife and I had a failed attempt at setting up a Kelty carport for shade because the winds were way too dominant. Our initial plan was to use a floor tent because my wife is 6 months pregnant and I wasn't very comfortable with her using the ladder. Well the winds didn't cooperate so we never even tried to set up the floor tent. 10 minutes later all four of us were all inside the roof top tent reading books and playing UNO.
Geeze, writing this makes me want to keep it. Someone change my mind please
