Just joined Expedition Portal this year and I am loving it! Anyways, I plan on purchasing a RTT by Spring of next year to travel from Illinois to the Overland Expo West in Arizona with some buddies of mine. I am interested in your thoughts on Tepui tents vs. CVT brand of tents? I'm leaning more towards the Tepui but I want to know what you all think. Also I would get an Autana Ruggedized if given the choice right now, but think the Expedition Orange color is not a good match to my Amp'd Jeep Wrangler. Does anyone have a Ruggedized Autana in the Olive Green or Haze Grey they could show?

Hey everyone who is following this thread, I wanted to put a little information out there that many of you may not be aware of. With the hot summer months ahead many of you are looking at ways to keep your tents cool and comfortable.

The Tepui Weather Hood is a great way to beat the heat. If you've seen these before you are probably aware that they are a good way to help keep your tents warm in the winter. But did you know that the aluminized coating on the weather hood will also reflect heat away from the tent in the summer time? These Weather Hoods can be a great addition to your summer adventure and can help keep you comfortable on that dream camping trip you've spent so much time planning. Check them out on the Tepui website here : http://tepuitents.com/collections/amenities/products/protective-weather-hoods

Never seen those weather hoods before!
One question, is ther a vent of any kind to help prevent moisture build up?

There are the door openings that can be propped open if needed. Also there are opening where the original vents are located in the upper part of the tent.

Asking about the ventilation on the weatherhoods is a good question to ask. If you do use these in the summer months you don't want to have them completely closed up or they can actually make the tent hotter inside. By having the door opened to allow some airflow along with the reflective ability of the outer shell it can be a good setup. The hoods are definitely a nice addition if you find yourself camping in the rain frequently.

thanks for the kind words my friend. Enjoy the tent and thanks again for the order.

The Front Runner tent mounting kit (brackets that space the tent up about 1" off the rack) are needed. The outer lip of the Slimline rack can cause interference when the tent is opened and keep it from opening completely. The spacers from Front Runner take care of the problem perfectly.

How about Rhino Rack's pioneer platform... What does that need for mounting a Tepui RTT?
Thanks in advance!
