    Very valuable review, one can really size up the quality of the tent once it’s had some wear and tear. When I watched your video when you first got it, I had wondered how it would stand up to some stormy or windy conditions. You definitely addressed those concerns here. Great video, thanks for sharing.

  • @arrowheadoverland

    They make an extension for the ladder but Frontrunner said the more vertical the ladder the better. If it’s out too far it’s not as strong and can bend. I’ve found that keeping the windows unzipped a few inches helped prevent the billowing effect when folding the tent back down. I don’t like the divots in the floor either. Sometimes they seem to go away, especially the bigger ones caused by your knees. I’m anxious to try out the tent when leaving the rain fly at home. I bet it’s a lot quicker to pack up on cold mornings when you want to get an early start.

    Do you feel like yours is too heavy? Do you have any recommendations on that?

    Great video man! Few things I wanted to ask after watching the vid. 1. Have you considered applying 303 Aerospace Protectant on that tent cover? I hear it does wonders. Aside from that, looks like it's pretty durable.
    2. Have you also considered getting an awning in the near future?

    just a thought on your next tent use 1inch sch40 PVC pipe with caps cut to fit the pockets where the rain cover poles insert to the tent I have not tried this myself I do not own that type of tent if the PVC doesn't fit maybe try a pool noodle or we used to call Nerf Bar foam or some kind of outdoor pipe styrofoam cover to reduce the friction between the tent and the poles

I was hoping with a 5" lift and 35's with the slimmest rack and tent I could still get it in the garage.. but doesn't look like it..

    2. Similarly, how safe, sturdy is this RTT for "sexy time"? I dont know much about RTT's so maybe that's a stupid question.
