Great vid! i can't believe i didn't watch this before i bought my ax27.
With 30 years of new product development experience myself...WOW, great job nailing every single detail!
Wow Im glad I came across this . Was just about to purchase a AluCab I like the ingenuity and the quality build looks outstanding. Im going to have to reconsider and research your company. Great video Thanks
The best presentation ever. Well done👍
Looks like a top quality product. Well done!
I purchased this tent from you at the Overlander Expo, in Loveland, CO. We set off on a week long camping trip the next morning. Absolutely in love with this tent! I am an instant ambassador and I can't wait for our next adventure. Thank you for designing such a great product!
HI Matthew, thank you for the great feedback, it makes everything we do a lot easier when we hear that our customers are loving our products. Happy travels!
This will definitely be my choice, great looking product 👌 👍 😎
I'm sold! Been looking at AluCab and this tent. Both are great but I think the small innovations take this one to the top
Well done very nice product and great presentation 👍
Very nice design. Thought of just about everything.
AMAZING PRODUCT 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Looks unreal! You've sold me! half way on saving for it!
Awesome Billy, we will be ready when you are!
I love it!
Looks Absolutely Amazing
Excellent video and product. Very much like the thule tepui.
So awesome mate !!!!
Very impressive
Just waiting for my RSI shell so I can mount mine up!
Bloody awesome mate , great review
Keen to see one in Australia 👍
Hi Adam, shouldn't be two hard to find we have sold a lot in Australia, check out our website to find your nearest stockist. Cheers
Consider me a future customer. I’ll be selling my current RTT and will be placing my order. Outstanding presentation and build quality.
Hi Jeff, thank you, we looking forward to you joining the Bush Company family.
Just ordered one today with the Xt max awning
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really great product mate! Currently getting my canopy built so looks like iv found my new RTT for it!! Keep up the great work
Awesome! Thank you!
Let me know how ya go - where/what canopy ya getting ?
@@Accolades70 will do! I’ll be uploading a video once’s it’s all done and I’m getting a full aluminium built through a friend here in North Queensland
good
Well I thought I had made my decision on a RTT until I saw this, so much attention to detail and looks extremely well made.
Just one question on the ladder, are the foot rungs angled so when you use the ladder they sit flat on against the sole of your feet? , it’s safer and less painful 🙏
I’d like to know this also.
That USB rechargeable Velcro magnetic light - do you sell these separately or where can you buy them from?
Would be brilliant if you guys made a slimline tent, any chance of that ever happening ?
can you buy the lights separately?
do you sell that light separately?
Love it! But would love it more if you made then tent in the double max version. Is this coming soon?
Yes, very soon :)
Still waiting on my order for an Alpha RTT and it’s superseded already.
Hi Shaun, if you are still waiting for delivery it is very likely that your tent will be latest version AX27.
When did the Alpha switch to north to south running mounting instead of cross ways?
Hi Declan, about 18 months ago.
Are the WIDER & LONGER sizes being produced?
Wonderful product! How secure are the spring rods into the base? Good enough so an updraft wind on the fly wouldn’t pop them out?
Hi David, the spring poles going very far into the tent and with the angle they are are they are totally secure, we have never had one come out by itself.
Might be a silly question but.. can an AX27 be fitted to the top of a Hyundai Tuscon and used without issue ??
You will have to check the roof load rating of your car, I am pretty certain this would be too heavy, look at something like an ikamper roof top tent that will be lighter and better suited for a Tucson
Can you explain the big differences between this and the Black Alpha?
I would like to know also
I really want to toss one of these on my Jeep Gladiator but I dont want to raise my bed rack above the Hard Top although it is possible. What are the chances it will be fine hanging over the bumper a little bit ?
Hi Gabe, the maximum unsupported overhang for the tent is 500mm.
do you an authorize distributor or importer in the Philippines?
How much weight can be on the tent when popped up? Also any issue with leaking while it is closed amd driving?
The tent can hold up to 50Kg in the open position and remain open unaided. When closed the max weight load is 200Kg. There are no issues with leaking when driving.
👍
Is this the same tent as the alpha or are they different
There were some updates from the ALPHA to the AX27, mainly the change to a USB light rather than wired.
Do you need to season these tents? What's the recommended process if so
Hi Billy, please see the Care and Maintenance recommendations below.
Care and Maintenance
We recommend that new tents are thoroughly wet down on the outside before first use. This will ensure that your swag or tent performs well in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton corespun thread and canvas to swell ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the stitching.
Cleaning Canvas:
-Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas.
-Do not store the product if wet, allow drying first.
-To clean use a soft brush and cold water.
-Do not expose to petrol, oils or harsh chemicals.
Cleaning mould:
-Allow mould to dry
-Remove surface mould off with stiff bristle brush
-Vacuum the area
-Treat area with Oil of Clove spray (diluted spray can be purchased or can be mixed using a few drops of oil into a spray bottle of water)
Condensation:
-Condensation is a natural occurrence in cold weather. In confined areas like tents the body releases more moisture than the canvas can dispose of. To help to reduce condensation build up, we recommend keeping some of the windows open on the tent to enable airflow on cold nights. If you are not using your tent for an extended period of time (more than 10 days) we recommend opening the tent regularly to allow it to air out, and possibly even remove the mattress and store it separately until your next trip.
Congratulations. A very well-thought product. What’s the weight?
99 Kg
@@stuartkcalvin , bloody heck!! That is way to much… that is 40kg to heavy… but I understand the quality…
Nice product and promo!
And interested ..
But i stiil to not understand why i been waiting since 10 weeks until now from M. Dean Gurmey ( south Africa company director ) for a quote for a tent : Rhino Cab Alu 70kgr - from your company After visiting the Allrad Abenteuer Bad Kissingen event in Germany !!!
I 'm now starting to believe that all this is not very professional.☹️
What do you think about ?
I don't what to do.
Gilles Molinier - from France
Looks awfully narrow . Dimensions please
Is there an XL like the Roof Nest Falcon ? Looks like a very well designed strong tent.
Not shur i like the struts just bolted into the rail , what happens if a bolts loosens over time and the strut moves location ,? Binding or misalignment? I would rather see them have their own mounting point or better yet welded in place . A gas strut is always under load and mostly while compressed , lets say its closed and the bolts are just loose enough it forces one end to slide , now your gas strut is fully extended while closed and it dont open , just something i noticed thats all , nice product but needs some improvements still .....
Do you have a U.S. distributor? Thank you.
Hi Joseph, you can purchase direct from us in the USA through our website www.thebushcompanyusa.com , there is also a list of resellers in the US on that site.
hei do you do shipping to other country . can i order this tent from norway

Is the alpha and the ax27 the same beast?
Yeah it is
Weight?
99Kg
Kudos to you for stating measurements in metric, for 95% of global population, and Ancient Amerikun for those lacking ten digits. Nothing annoys me as much as having to go back to 1960 to dig up pounds, ounces, gallons and miles, to convert it to the metric system. You, instead, respect your audience and also your customer. Great stuff.
Go back to the dictionary and learn how to spell American and then spell it right.
I'm a old nobody and I really want to do this before I get any older and can't. Do you want to sponsor anybody in Texas I'll drive it all over the State to show it off I'll even split the cost with ya on the RTT..... Nice job!
How about just buy one like everyone else. Why does everyone want a free handout these days

Geez mate. Do you ever take a breath during your presentation? I was totally exhausted by the end of it. Sorry, I didn't make it to the end.
It is called the PAUSE button 😁
