Hey are you flying out for the toothbrush trip?

Not this year brothers but I sense next year will change things.

That's pretty sweet!

And it is low enough to save on MPG.

Just get a camera and mount it behind that tent so you can see behind you.

Looks good as long as you don't have a swingout on your rear bumper.

That's why you get a front 2" receiver mount!

Only advantage I ever saw from having a RTT was to get high off the ground and now that's gone. I do not "get" it. Guess it's better than camping in the parking lot while everyone else it at a campsite because you can't drive onto the majority of our sites now.

Or just carry it on your roof rack until you get there and set it down on the ground... Oh, wait...

^Exactly what I thought...I still have mine, I should weld a hitch on it and sell it on ExpoPortal for $1500!

Only benefit would be you could leave it at the campsite and not have to pack it up everyday.

I have one as well.. pretty comfy. I had some a-hole (paging @SecretSquirrel ) toss a dry ice bomb under mine while I slept. I didn't wake.

Isn't that what a tent is for? I thought the original purpose of a RTT was to have a quick pack tent to use while overlanding...not camping, at a camp site, from which you would leave then return.

It just seems like its come full circle...next will be a RTT that you can put...on the ground

Or a RTT you leave on a trailer at camp!!

Glad I'm not the only one like..... WTF.?.

Good marketing and people will buy anything I guess.

Actually I think it would be useful for those that don't want to pack it up every day. I have been on 2+ week trips where we packed up every morning to go out wheeling.
