rtt and a boat?

[Rexplorer]

my fj is too small to sleep in with the back seats in, and they have to stay in, so i was checking out rtt. but i frequently carry a boat. more specificly, a canoe. anyone here rock that combo? looking for ideas and tents that might work with. thanks.

In this case, I think a ground tent may work better for you, or get one of them new fangled off-roading trailers for the RTT.

Sounds like you need a trailer.

I've got a truck that I sleep in and pull a kayak/gear trailer. The benefit is that I can set the fishing gear up near the water and park the expensive truck on higher ground. I have also found that if it is late and the combo gets stuck, I unhitch, dig the truck to safety and deal with the trailer in the morning. Sometimes 6 wheels just won't make it so I drop the two that don't push.

But if you go down tight trails, put a rtt on a trailer and the canoe on the truck to shorten the wheelbase. It'll also let you set up camp and go exploring for the day.
