Any customer feedback/experiences would be welcomed from the folks here.
Wife and I have been discussing options for camping with the girls. Everything from a slide in to a tear drop. We think, that the RTT is going to best suit our intended goals for the next couple of years.
Looked at some different options, like the Maggiolina hard top, but we've come to the conclusion a hard top won't serve our family that well. We like the larger space offered by the soft shell tents.
And I want to keep our overall expenditure just at $2000 since I'm planning a budget of $6000 for the truck this year.
Right now I'm looking at the CVT Mt. Rainer Extended, although the lower vestibule won't serve us at bed height. I'm kind of cautious about CVT. I read in this forum another member had shipping problems. And over on the PW site, another member reported his leaking like crazy. But also responded that customer service was A+ and they took care of him right away.
From Tepui I was looking the Autana Sky and the XL version.
Also, I've come across 23 Zero, and their Bundaberg & the Byron. I've seen the name popup a few times in some places but know little about the brand.
As far as mounting goes, I'm planning to build something similar to this:
Spent a lot of time mulling over how AEV built their one off rack for the SEMA show awhile back for a Ram with the Ramboxes like I have. But I want to keep that tent below the roofline for better aero (hopefully).
Won't be buying till after May when we get done with Moab. But any feedback or opinions while shopping are appreciated.
