I have an RV-4 and I often hoist up solo. I basically stand it vertical so one end rests on the roof rack bar, then I lift from the bottom and slide it up and over, using the roof rack bar as a fulcrum.
Sometimes I will climb up to the roof rack (my ARB has a steel mesh floor) and reposition...
Love our OZ RV-4. It really does setup quickly, though the claim is less than 30 seconds. If you don't count setting up the guy lines and canopies, I can see how that claim can be true. The ability to link up tents and expand is also nice.
Packing up is quick too, but I guess it's really...
Actually, there are a lot of good deals this time of year. I just picked up a LiFePO4-based Jackery for a good deal, Renogy has an up to 50% sale on some stuff...
I'd be wary of LiFePO4s from Amazon that seem too cheap. I'd stick with known entities like Battleborn or Renogy if you're in the US. There are a couple of reliable brands in other parts of the world, like Oz, but I can't recall the names...
Pretty funny...
Some gems:
Vanlifer - Owns a bidet that shoots coffee instead of water
Jeeper - Only parks on curbs
Fordie - Spends 40% of his income on gas
Roverhead - As rich as he is dumb
I have the RV-4, it's about 45lbs, but it does fit on my ARB roofrack, though I have to put it in diagonally if I want it to lay flat in the rack. It's definitely not a backpacking tent...
OzTents make ground tent setups and breakdowns really quick and easy. An additional benefit is that it reduces the center of gravity when it's not on the vehicle. That alone is worth going with a ground tent over an RTT. OC, if your RTT is on a trailer, the point is moot...
Oztent RV5 Canvas...
I'm assuming the Bronco is parked outside? Solar is definitely a good option, if you don't want to mess with routine driving to charge the battery. You can add a charge controller if you're concerned about overcharging. Otherwise, use a smart charger to trickle charge. Only issue with smart...
