Adventure Dad
Update, my girls are now 10 and 12 and growing like weeds. Last year at the overland expo, they discovered the 23zero 87 Walkabout. With four extremely heavy duty, aluminum crossbars and help from a friend to lift a 200 pound nearly 8 foot long RTT. It is ready to roll. Thus begins the next summer of adventure !!!
Just a thought I had a few days ago when my 6 yr old got tired after an all night sleep over. She asked me to set up the RTT where we're building our new house so she could nap. If you have little kids and are on the fence about or close to buying an RTT, this is for you. Do it, do it, do it! They don't really "wear out" like a set of tires, can be moved to the next vehicle etc. I bought my Tepui 3 years ago and all camping stuff aside, the "fun value" for my 2 girls has been priceless. You have a portable tree house, it's huge and awesome to them, your kids are rockstars at any campsite with other kids. My girls have spent far more hours playing and napping than we have in our RTT. Your kids will never be this little again, every summer is precious and they grow up so freakin fast! They will never forget how cool their Dad was, the pictures and memories are well worth the cost.
Favorite memory 3 years ago: My wife climbed up to get my girls to take a nap, the girls weren't having any. My wife fell asleep, said girls (then 3 and 5) crept out of the RTT like little ninjas. One went down the ladder, the other out the opposite side through a roof hatch while I sat in a camp chair snorting with laughter taking pictures and trying not to wake the momster.
Update: Five years later, still going strong, 8 and 10 yrs old now plus a Jack Russel mix somwhere under the sleeping bags. If you have kids, buy an RTT, you'll grin listening to them giggle and talk late into the night 8 feet off the ground. They will remember it forever and you'll be a hero Dad. Thanks Tepui, great product, great fun, we are looking for a bigger tent next.
