You should wait until the Rally Point attendee message comes out early next week. One group is in camp the entire time and the other is traveling but will be in base camp Saturday. Much like the last event we had.
Would it be correct to assume that we will be base camping at the same spot for all three nights? If so I would plan to just bring the ground tent rather than the rooftop.
I'm currently working on the tent/awning pivots and actuator mounts. It's yet to be seen if the 900lb push actuator has enough power to lift the platform given the flat angle between the pivot arm and the actuator.
...on the ground when setting up at camp? With my trailer lifted on the jacks without wheels, their is a lot of slop in the pipe mounts even with the locking pin installed allowing the trailer to move side to side a lot. I can imagine it will be an uneasy feeling like that moving around in the tent.
Nah, as far as I can tell, more people than ever are engaging in multi-country vehicle dependent travel. Now, trendy rooftop tent camping may be diminishing.
Hi all, located in Orange County, CA and looking to sell my Tepui tent, (3) 1.75"OD Tacoma bed bars, and (4) RTT security mounts for 1.75"OD bars, either as a package or individually. No shipping please. It's been a solid setup for me, but am looking to a more functional setup for my growing...

...in and out of the truck and just planning for a trip was exhausting.
Sometime during the pandemic, I decided I wanted to get into the Roof Top Tent game, with fresh Bush Company gear from CVT (CVT had just started importing it and putting on their own branding) and of course some bling like...

...Black bear are only a major problem in developed campgrounds and mountain towns where they're used to seeing a lot of people (and trash).
I'm not sure if locking a grizzly away from food just makes you the next best snack, but I'd probably opt for hanging the bag in a tree away from my tent.
I always keep a boom stick, bear spray, and handgun in the tent with me at night and can exit the tent onto the rack if I needed to see what's going on without being on the ground. As long as I don't get pulled out of the RTT without warning, then I feel like I'd have a chance to get out of a...
...There's not really a limit other than your preparation. We've done OB trips down into the teens at night with 9 in of snow. What sort of tent and/or cold weather gear do you have, if any? It all goes back to watching the forecast and what elevation you plan. Having said all of that, I...
Thank you so much for advice! I’m looking to get an air mattress that would fit in my truck bed and have a tarp or something over me to prevent rain or something protective from the elements. :)
