New to the ranks of Roof Top Tent ownership

[KI6LYZ]

I picked up a new one last Wednesday and finally got around to mounting it today with the help of my neighbor taking the old rack off and installing the new RTT. I only have pics of it closed as I finished at 6:00pm and had to be at work at 7:00 tonight. I can't wait for my son and I to try it out this weekend at the Desert Rendezvous!

Welcome to the club! Entry fees start at $1500, so it's pretty exclusive.

Be sure to check out the RTT tricks and tips thread for some necessary hacks.

Congratulations Dave, you will have to show it off this weekend

Fortunately I didn't have to go "all in" @ $1500.
I will check out the other thread for sure.

I cant wait to show it off Chris!

Curious to know how it impacts your MPG, both city and highway.

Nice Dave! We love our's when we were able to fit in it.

I try not to keep track of that information :Wow1: , it's already depressing as it is. :drool:
I will try to keep track of it this weekend though for the giggle factor.

Looks Good Dave!

It's a neat experience sleeping in an RTT, I enjoy mine

Maybe our paths will cross during the DRV this weekend. I'll keep an eye out for your 80

Is it up there for good ? I mean do you plan on removing it for daily driving ... ?

 

[Jr_Explorer]

So let's see a pic or two of it deployed. You know you'd best set it up before getting out there and find something missing/wrong.

Your knee going to let you get up and down ok? No more trailer for the family then either?

 

[SoCal_80]

Congrats Dave! No tent trailer this year?? Still amazed how well you pulled that through Red Canyon!

 

[KI6LYZ]

I've tried the ladder a couple of times in the driveway now and it does not seem to be a problem with my knee.
I still have the pop-up trailer for family excursions. My seven year old doesn't take up much room in the RTT. This will just make it much easier for me when covering the races all over the southwest a couple times a month. Just got tired of crawling on the ground in my tent. Once I get my *** below my knees I'm about as good a beached whale and resemble one as well.
