So I have been using the tent for almost a year now. I've done over a dozen trips over all kinds of terrain. The tent is holding up well. No major issues. Zippers have been working fine. Overall, it is a huge improvement over the tepui. It's half the weight and on my truck that is very noticeable. This tent is fantastic in warm weather. When its cold, doubling up my sleeping bags keeps me comfortable down into the teens. Its super easy to deploy and pack up. I will never go back to zipper covers; the bungee is fantastic! I've had a few nights of rain. The tent stays dry. The entry will get a little wet (duh) but I'm quick to get in and it's not an issue for me. I pack two sleeping bags in it. One 20 deg double and one 20 deg mummy. Also a med pillow. It makes it a little tough to close as I have to squish it a little to engage the straps. They're a little short and I am considering replacing them with longer straps. but its not a big deal. Sometimes the support legs get dirt in them and it makes it a little tough to extend them or get the feet off. Sometimes the pins in the legs get misaligned and I have to pull them out and reset them. Minor issues. I wish the mattress was thicker, but then it would be heavier. I want the isothermic kit, but I don't want to block the windows lol everything is a trade-off.
Overall I love the tent. It's a keeper and I will be using it a lot. I have a 3 day Anza trip in a couple weeks, a 6 day S. Utah trip at the end of Sep, one week in Moab Oct, 4 days Death Valley in Nov, and a bunch of unplanned trips as well.
We hope not to tell people "how much human" to put into a tent, but from experience I will say two 200-225lb men in that tent has worked without concern. If you do not mind, pm myself some pictures of your rack setup and I can look into possibilities to optimize the performance of the RTT.
