Well did a new render on the RTT stand today. Its really coming along well. All the simulations are working out too so that is good. I'm just about ready to price it out and order parts. There are a few more design changes I want to try first though.

RTT w/ custom roof rack

Here's my RTT. It's a "brandless RTT" but it is exactly the Tepui Autana. I got it brand new from a guy in Vancouver, BC. He was importing it from a manufacturer in China where incidentally the same place where Tepui is sourcing their tents.
The rack is a custom rail using Uni-struts that are available at Lowes or Home Depot. Total cost of the rack is ~$50 and it sitting on the rail of the factory rack. It sit low on the roof making it more stable on the road.

Looks good, thats what I plan on doing once my RTT is on for the season (next week). I'd like to have a dimmer inline....:naughty:

Cool! Looks sharp! Take a peak at my write up for the LEDs and let me know what you think. I would suggest an inline switch thoughd for in the tent not what I used...

going to spam this thread with more pictures of my RTT in action.

1st night in it! My kids love it. You will get onlookers and lots of curious people. You will be the center of attention. If thats not what you want, then dont get a RTT!

question for you RTT owners. how long you leave it on for?

I had a trip on each of the past two weekends. took it off today and its not fun to do.
