We have used our FSR tent a few nights now. We are happy with it. It is quick to setup and take down, no noticable aero penalty, plenty of room for two, and pretty comfy. It is very dark- we were in a campground with a trailer setting up and the headlights were blasting it for like a half hour, you couldn’t even tell with the windows closed. It did pretty well in some mild winds.
Used down to the mid 20s and we were warm, but also in warm sleeping bags. Haven’t tested if the quilted walls actually provide much insulation.

Does anyone have examples of R1T with both RTT (bed mount) and an awning system (roof mount) mounted and deployed?

Kamper 3.0 Mini. Loving this setup. Self leveling is outstanding!
do you think there is room in this setup for an extended camp kitchen? …or would you have to rotate the tent to driver side ladder entry? Nice setup!

TrukHog,
It should be fine. It looks like you have plenty of room to get at the drawers and keep the heat side away from the tent.

looks nice! How does it mount to the crossbars? Using the T-slots? Or brackets similar to Yakima?
mounts with flatbar and factory stainless bolts.

Anyone see that the china market now started making copies of the Ikamper? we knew it was gonna happen just wondering if they might be any good at this price its lower than the Yakima soft top from Rivian.

I've been kind of looking around at options and these all just popped up this week with no reviews.



This one is a different ad than the one above but same price and pictures.

Oh nice. Those don’t dig into the crossbar when tightened? I’m surprised there is no buffer/rubber bushing to protect the crossbar
There is one it is just hard to see in the photos.
