Tired of all the "crap" RTT's. So I made my own. - TERRAPOD!

That would be a hell of a wake up. Impressive. Soft side tents don't stand a chance. I try not to camp under trees.

No kidding.

This campground is 16 miles from my house:

I've always looked up at a campsite, inspected the trees.
I look a little harder since that kid was killed. Horrible.

In other news - we learned today that there is another company that does hurricane testing on the same panel material we use.
The panels take a 2x4 fired at 100mph with no intrusion or failure.

More food for thought. ?

Well lookee what we have here.

Super cool.

When you feel safer in the tent than in the truck, should it still be called a tent?

Nice work. Great design. I am glad you did not fall off your step ladder. ?

Terrapod RTTx Release & the Covid-19:

A quick note. The team at Terrapod are watching the present scenario very closely. To date, Terrapod has worked hard to prepare and is primed, ready to go.

Then the Coronavirus happened.

Unfortunate events surrounding the Covid-19 virus is directly impacting supply chains, materials suppliers and our potential customers in a dramatic way.

At present, the RTTx Extreme Roof Top Tent is still being primed for release. We will be continuing forward with a Kickstarter campaign to provide a tool for pre-orders and determining a best-course of action.

In the meantime, the final production model is being prepared for showing and should be ready for viewing in the coming week or so.
Till then - please be smart, be safe and take care of those around you who need assistance in this very challenging time.

Adventure Simple.

I'm not on the Facebook Cult-Site; anyone know the cost of this tent, lead times to get one, etc.?

06/01 UPDATE: Covid-19 caused the supply chain to take a giant dump. Nearly all vendors and partners were shut down as they were marked as "non-essential". We were notified last week, by a number of them, they were opening back up for business. Many mentioned if they shipped their products during the shutdown, they would have been fined by their respective locations'.

So..where are we today? We have started the engines back up and are working to get the parts needed for a run of the first 50 units. We have to line up a facility (again)...and determine the best place to not only build these, but accept shipments and grow. Once we have a better idea on the timeline...I will post up another update.

Thanks all. We appreciate the enthusiasm and the increase in following over the course of the shutdown. The tent is coming.

Chad is right on target about the supply chain vulnerability; while most suppliers are back on line, we need them all back for assured access to all the components we need before committing to taking orders. We are getting there and are excited that we are once again moving forward.



In the meantime, more field testing this past weekend makes for a better product.....
