Hey guys, this took 5 months to make, but I hope the wait is worth it for you all.

Grab some coffee or a nice beer, because this is EXTENSIVE.

Great review!

Not really a RTT guy (yet?) since we have a T@B Teardrop. I even put some higher profile BFG T/A tires on the T@B to gain 3/4 in clearance, in the hopes of getting her a bit farther off the pavement.

Using your RTT 20 to 30 nights a year, I assume you leave it on year round? I cant imagine hoisting that baby up and down. My Yakima Skybox is hard enough to get up there!

I just stumbled across this post. I'm getting ready to build my roof rack to hold a RRT. This article will come in handy. I'm starting to read right now!

Excellent Review!! I'm looking to buy a RTT currently and this was thoroughly helpful. Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge and experience to help guide those of us that are new to RTT's in the right direction. Cheers!
