Holy Moly that thing is huge.... How comfortable is it sleeping in that kind of setup? Just from looking at those they look really nice and appear to be able to withstand a pretty good wind storm. I would guess the biggest part would just trying to make sure you are on as level ground as possible for the night.
So I feel like I've thread jacked the Anti-Thread Jack with a Tenting Jack......
(Moderators feel free to move to a tenting thread)
It is HUGE! And was SOOOOOOOO Comfortable sleeping. Probably would fit 3 people if you don't mind "togetherness". We set it up in a 28 mph wind storm and it performed amazingly. I kept thinking we should pull in the window vents, but it held up just fine. (No, I didn't sleep much the first night with all that wind).
I watched that video ChrisHaynesUSA posted in the "Death/Saline Valley/RaceTrack/Lippincott Mine Road 7-11 November 2015" thread and that's what sold me on the tent. (So it's all his fault
)
First night we were on a slight slope with no problem. Ladder is adjustable.
I thought that the whole idea of the rooftop tent was to offer protection from wild animals. How does that work in the Annex?
Nice looking tent. And, without the Annex you do have an awning, sort of.
Mike isn't as fond of the Annex as I am. Tent goes up in about 15 min. Annex takes approx another 15 min. We will get faster with time. The Annex isn't required and can stay home or in the back of the rig all folded up. But I like it for a changing room, put your stuff in room, access the car in your PJ's room, etc. It has a rubberized floor which would be great in rain/mud. Or you can zip the floor out for sand/grass.
If we are by ourselves, probs just use the tent. If with a group or multi-nights, probs put up the Annex.
And yes, this is our new awning!!
I missed your post that you got this, but saw the facebook posts and was like "WTF?!? When did they get a RTT?!?"
Great find!!!
I oversold the awning, Joe, and ended up with an RTT! LOL
Tepui Tents has some nice videos showing how it all works, but we can demostrate sometime if people are interested in seeing the whole system..
But don't pay TT prices (unless you have extra money to throw around). We got the exact same tent for 1/2 TT's price.
