    Looking for some real world feedback on this thing. The idea of it is pretty neat to me. Saves height and weight, which are big plusses for an RTT on a truck I wheel with.

    My main concerns are durability (thin(ish) ABS construction) and potential paint damage to the roof after years of that bulb gasket rubbing.

    Hmmm... interesting. I like the fact it weighs in only 122 lbs.

    Without the need for a roof rack, so that saves another 50ish pounds depending on who’s you go with

    Yup! I wonder if it's a 4 season tent though.

    When it rains and the trip is over, how to you air it out to prevent mold/mildew?

    I can’t find any good videos or even photos of the interior unfortunately. From what I’ve seen I think it’s a 3 season at best…

    Pop it up and open the windoors like other RTTs I’d guess

    Unless it's still raining. A week long rain and no garage tall enough to pop up would be an issue.

    Yeah that would definitely make for a musty tent :anonymous:
