Well this showed up today. Not a huge fan of RTTs, let alone the soft side kind. But moving day to day they are much easier than my Oz tent and way more comfortable than a ground tent. Compared to the ground tent or Oz tent once erected you still need to put in sleeping pads and sleeping bags, so it does actually take longer.
I chose this specific tent for a few reasons.
First and foremost, it weighs in at 94 lbs this is the advertised weight by Front Runner. I will be verifying the claim of weight.
Second, price @ 1100.00 bucks it's on the lower end of cost for a RTT.
Third, the ability to lower the weight. I found a few web pages and YouTube channels that have done a few things to lower the weight significantly. One guy claims to have reduced his down to 37 kilos or 81.4 lbs. if I can reduce the weight that low I am fairly confident I can install this by myself with assistance from Stacey helping to balance it. If I can reduce the weight to 80ish lbs it will be similar to the Oz tent all bagged up and strapped to the roof rack.
Fourth, Stacey really likes the RTTs. If momma is happy everyone is happy.
I will be verifying the progress and mods in a separate thread.
