I have enjoyed the tent. It is well constructed, and I can easily manage the size / weight when loading, unloading, etc. My primary criteria for a tent was that it fit in the bed, which this one does.
My little Iceco fits in the frunk (where it does get hot), the back seat on a substrate, or in the gear tunnel. Opening the lid from either of the back seats is an awkward reach angle, but it works.
I bought a truck bed tent for light use camping. Satisfied with it for my use. Here is the link: https://c6outdoor.com/collections/rev-pick-up-tents.
i did not have a good way to wrestle a RTT by myself in my garage, so I opted to go this route.
Same here. Last week I had an 88 yr old, 94 yr old, and 102 yr old in my truck... and it would not kneel. I was on level ground in conserve mode. Since then I have lost kneel altogether. I now have an open ticket with CS to check that, my dash rattle, loss of power on the Camp Speaker, and...
Great minds think alike. I made the same decisions re: shade devices. First pic is a day trip to Canyon Lake for a little lake and fishing tailgating. Notice there are no guy lines. I am anchoring the poles using a heavy rubber wheel chock at the foot, and stretching a heavy duty bungy cord...
I have Hobies. One is 11’ long, the other is 16’ long. I think the 11’ Yak will balance nicely on the cross bars without using the inverted Tbar; it has a flat bottom. The 16’ Yak will definitely need the inverted Tbar.
Time will tell, my R1T is due here Mar / Apr.
I too have been scheming how to carry my kayaks efficiently. I have an R1T with the RTT on order, and will also order an extra set of cross bars. My plan is to invert my "T-bar" bed extender in the hitch receiver to support the stern of the kayak, and use the roof mounted cross bars to support...
KAYAKING AND RIVIAN ADVENTURES ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ALSO. IN THE PAST I HAVE USED "HULLIE ROLLERS" TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESCRIBE. I THEN WENT TO A TBAR BED EXTENDER FOR MY 16' KAYAKS. THAT KEPT THE YAK OFF THE ROOF AND AT A HEIGHT THAT MADE IT EASIER FOR ME TO LOAD / UNLOAD...
