For those of you with a Rooftop tent, the wind will occasionally pick up and it turns your tent into a sail. One time I returned to my tent only to find it practically packed back up because the wind had flipped it closed. How do you all deal with this? what are some good tie down methods/...

I have a 2014 Jeep JKU. My RTT was positioned towards the back of the Jeep. I repositioned RTT to the front of the Jeep and loaded up for a road trip. As we pulled out of the house the ESC and MIL lights came on. Vehicle drove fine, and still does. Repositioned tent back to it's original...

Have you switched from a RTT to a ground tent? Started out with a ground tent, went to a RTT, found out you didn’t like it and went back to the ground? Or, the other way around? Do you regret buying one? Are they mostly just a gimmicky thing? It’s okay, you can tell us the truth. Sometimes...

I wanted to start a build thread documenting my roof rack build for my FJ. As I type this I am about 2 weeks into the build and the project is stretching out because I am working on it in a friends shop (He has all the cool tools.) Right now I am into the project for $230 in steel. The goal is...

Does anyone have a truck bed rack that is compatible with a trifold tonneau cover? I'm looking at: http://www.kbvoodoo.com/shop/premium-bed-rack and https://proline4x4.com/shop/accessories/universal-adjustable-bed-rack/ I've reached out to both of them and learned the following: kbvoodoo...

Pretty much brand new. Used once on Ruby, but I don't like how top heavy she feels with it mounted; so it has to go. Comes with all the original parts (incl. annex room etc.,) mounting rails installed for sideways extension. All hardware essentially brand new. Ruff Stuff Ranger Overland tent...

I've read quite a few of the post on here regarding RTT's, and have decided to upgrade to the Tepui Autana Ruggedized RTT. Just wondering where the cheapest place would be to buy one, and if there were possibly any distributers on here. I know REI started a 20% coupon one product today, but they...

I am looking into building a trailer for my RTT and I am looking for advice on what those of you who have built trailers used for an axle. Did you go with a trailer axle from a Tractor Supply type store? Did you have to narrow the axle? How big of a weight rating did you go for the axle? Thanks...

A couple I know just recently through insta is selling their Tacoma. NOTE: The Tacoma is SOLD but they still have the RTT and Skid Plates. If interested in either of those, contact them, not me, through the info below. It has an extensive list of upgrades for the road and camping. They spent...

I'm in the process of buying my rig now, and I'm searching for a family sized RTT. Doesn't have to be CVT, but that's the size I'm looking for. As always, any advice, assistance, or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered the Overlander XL and it should be shipped in 2 weeks. I am mounting it on top of an FJ Cruiser with 35's and 6 inches of lift. Anyone know if I will need the Ladder extension....? Thanks, Sean Hank Haney

Hey there everyone, The wife and I are looking to buy a roof top tent this month. I was wondering if anyone knew of a semi-local place that shows them on display? We are in Running Springs Ca., but will go as far as we need. Does anyone know of a place? Any help is appreciated!

What would you say is the best made RTT for 3 people and under $2,500?

Hey all, I have a whole grocery list of plans for my 2010 FJ this year. Starting with a bumper and winch install as soon as the weather gets above freezing here on Long Island. One of my goals to complete before the summer is a DIY roof top tent. I've been doing a bit of research and I've seen...

Has anyone seen this yet. https://www.gofastcampers.com/ Looks like a new twist on things. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

I have been searching for the most painless way to store my RTT when off the truck. I have been looking at the different hoist options to lift it up towards the garage ceiling. Here is a Kickstarter campaign that looks to be very painless, if not cheap. I went with the SUV hardtop lift option...

We've been camping for many, many years, both for holidays, Scouting and Overlanding. Over the years we've used a variety of ground tents and roof tents. For us, each has it's merits, depending on the type of trip. Long term stops - 3 or 4 days or more, ground tents win for us - set up and no...

This is my review on my experience with the Overland Pros Mojave Explorer 1400 RTT. To start I want to say I am no expert but I think of myself as a well-informed consumer. I have owned my Overland Pros Mojave Explorer tent for about two months and I have spent 14 nights in it. These nights...

Hello, How have you set up your sleeping arrangements for Overland trips. Does it change depending on the trip? Do you sleep inside your vehicle on a custom built set up, in a tent on the ground or in a RTT (roof top tent). Please post photos and descriptions of your setup.
