Depending on what Memorial Day sales happen I am probably going to buy a new RTT. We prefer the wedge style.

I have narrowed down my choices to the following.

iKamper BDV solo or Duo
23zero Kabari
CVT Mt Hood small
Overland Vehicle Systems Mamba 3

Each have pros and cons right now between the 4 systems I am leaning towards iKamper or 23zero but honestly probably which ever has the best sales will be the way I will go.

Anyone have any personal experience with these models? Regrets?
 
Take a look at Overland Pros, great product.

If you get a wedge, make sure it opens from the side, not the back. It gives you loads more useable space. I recommend you also look at the Freespirit Recreation Odyssey.

I’ve also been researching split ac compressor repair lately, so I’m trying to compare costs carefully before making the final decision.

I’d put the most weight on real-world setup time, mattress comfort, condensation, and how well the tent handles wind and rain rather than just the sale price. Since you already prefer the wedge style, I’d compare the actual dimensions, packed height, weight, and mounting requirements between the iKamper and 23zero before deciding. If possible, try to see them set up in person. Small differences in ladder access, ventilation, storage, and how easily the tent closes can become much more important after using it regularly. I’d also check warranty and replacement-parts support, since an RTT is a pretty long-term purchase.
