    sorry for your troubles, but thanks for the heads up. Was considering replacing my old RTT this year and Free Spirit was at the top of my list. Following.

    Camp gear storage.

    Argleben, I developed a similar system years ago when I was motorcycle camping and carried the same system forward to my 4x4 adventures. I have a large North Face dry duffel that I keep my tent, drop cloth, Thermarest and sleeping bag & pillow. Worked great for many years.

    Advice on Kitchen set up

    very simple amateurish plywood build. The tailgate table is most excellent. There are severable different ones available for the Wrangler and at good prices. Only option for the GX is high quality but spendy. We use a single burner Cook Partner stove to conserve space but a backpacker Pocket...

    Kovea Slim Twin propane stove

    25% off at REI. In January I had my Winnebago Drop camper stolen, along with all my camping stuff. Slowly but surely I’ve been replacing the gear. The 2 burner stove I had was a Mr Buddy which worked pretty good, but is no longer available. I wanted a slim stove to conserve space and narrowed...

    Solo Campfire

    This firepit is about the size of a paint can but packs the punch of a blow torch. In a rain storm it burned for an hour and a half on half of a small Duraflame. Comes with a rack for pots and pans. Puts out a good amount heat.

    Rooftop tent

    Buy 2 regular RTT's. Put one on the Yukon and one on a small trailer. Added benefit of the trailer is you can put your camping gear in it. Smiittybilt standard RTT running $1189 on Amazon now and the little trailer is around $500 at Lowes. Under $3000 for the whole setup. Or look for a used...

    home built

    Did a similar system myself except the guy that gave me the plans made his out of 3/4" plywood and said to use 1/2" to cut down on the weight. I took his advice and used 1/2 and regret it. The 1/2" is warping a little whereas the 3/4" probably wouldn't. But it's 4 years old now and still works...

    Winter Camper?

    If you're using a 4 season tent, then a well insulated (R factor) sleeping pad plus an 850/900 fill down bag should do the trick. Camped many times in the winter in temps from 0 to 30's and never needed a heater in the tent. I had the appropriate layers and a great thermarest plus down bag. We...

    Talladega NF. 600-1 and 600-2. Worth the drive.

    RTT help

    1. Comfort 2. Mounted on a trailer has all your camping gear ready to go at a moments notice. 3. pitch just about anywhere. 4. And there's always that second kind of cool factor.

    Weight distribution (unloaded)

    Bilstein 5100's will help with body lean/roll. Chevy stock shocks are notoriously mushy.

    Which after market anti-condensation Matt for my rtt?

    or the cheaper alternative...a sheet of Dow styrafoam insulation. Makes it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. No condensation . I believe it cost me $12 four years ago.

    Honda TrailSport - Offroad

    Just bought a 2021 Passport AWD for my wife 3 months ago. After going down a few local trails/NFS roads I feel it would be comfortable tackling 85% of the trails I take my GX470 down. The Passport is much more capable than I had anticipated. A slight lift and all terrain tires, set of...

    Considering adding boards under my RTT's mattress...

    We added a 3/4 " Dow insulation blue board under my Smittybilt mattress to control condensation and insulate against cold/heat. Worked like a charm and cost about $12. It's been under the mattress for 4 years now. It should take care of your problem as well.
