Installed the tent today...after some deliberation, it was decided that the only way to mount my CVT was flipping the cross bars upside down to gain some clearance to torque down the bolts. Drilled new holes through the cross bars to center the tent

Actually the left corner of the front fairing was bent upwards from shipping, so naturally I attached it like that since it was easier to torque down and straighten it. Then I went to go watch the NBA finals and forgot about it. Aesthetically, I actually kinda like it...might leave it as is...
yeah, my buddy and I did some quick measurements yesterday and the tracks for my RTT might line up with the holes on the crossbars just enough to bolt down onto. Worst case, I'd have to widen the holes to line up with the tent.
The trickiest part seems to be bolting the tent to the crossbars...
Got my rack yesterday (6th batch) and installed. Missing a couple sets of bolts, but otherwise a solid roof rack! Ran out of time to put the rooftop tent back on - plan to put it up tomorrow.

Any update on West Coast 6th batch? I haven't received a tracking # - not sure if I should be expecting one yet.
Thanks for setting all of this up Rorck!
EDIT: Tracking just received!

Hoping to find out as well - I have a CVT and should be getting my rack in a couple weeks. Based on my current setup, I'm hoping the brackets are long enough to fit the cross bars. And I hope the cross bars are strong enough to hold up the tent...
Nice to see someone else from the Vancouver area - I've got an RTT too :rockon:
I scoped out the Crater Lake area last fall and found a good number of campgrounds along highway 138 between Crater Lake and I5. Not sure how conditions are (if there's any snow or if it's all melted).
You'll see...
