Sorry to hear about your frustrations. I have another video which demonstrates ladder height adjustment. If you're interested here's the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2HMg2yVrJ51arMsi=zKNkgsBjoYRMJFqF Go to time 2:00. Hope this helps

Thanks! Appreciate it. I found it a bit hard to setup the first time without any instructions so I posted this video to make it easier for others!

Apologies for this late reply. The velcro attachments should come with the annex package. There are 3x of them which you slide in the slots.

Thanks!

Thanks mate. I bought that from ebay. Brand is Elite tactical folding flipper knife.

Hi mate. When driving, there is more wind noise, like whistling sound coming from the crossbars and tent. That's about it. We didn't feel any movement or vibration. If you feel vibration or unusual noise, there might be some loose points on your siderail, crossbar or tent mounting brackets. If you can't find any fault but still feel unease, have it checked by an expert to be safe. Hope this helps

Hi. Apologies for the late reply. I have another vid showing how to setup rhe RTT and annex kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2HMg2yVrJ51arMsi=zKNkgsBjoYRMJFqF

Yes, not that far away from Melbourne. That's site 416. Very good site and it's also close the toilets.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Well, I haven't taken it off the roof since we had it. I was thinking of dismounting it but requires at least 2 people to do the job. I have searched thru youtube and most people that own RTT's installed hoists in their garage to dismount it. Kind of looking into that idea because we don't go camping that often and it is an additional 68Kg on a daily driven car. I think investing on a hoist system would be a good option.

Thanks mate. Your information was greatly appreciated and helped me make a decision on what works best

How much per night in this camping place?

Hi ​@@broneo2165. Apologies for the late reply. We paid $45 per night on an unpowered site (includes adults). You pay extra $10 per night for kids aged 3 to 16 yrs old. If you need further info, please check their website: www.montana-on-the-macalister.com.au/

No worries. Glad to hear that. Happy to help!

Thanks! Had the same issue with the mystery pole. Thanks to @nathanjessup8409 for sharing what it was for. With regards to roof load limit, I totally agree with you. We have to check the dynamic and static roof load limits before buying RTT or any other aftermarket roof attachments. The car user manual should have that information. If it's not there then the other options is to check the manufacturer website or online forums.

Awesome! thanks mate. That's exciting!

It was very good in the rain. We had 2 camping trips that had a decent amount of rain and there was no leaks inside the tent. There was a small leak coming from the zip that connects the RTT and annex tent but that was my fault. I didn't secure the flap cover for the zip.

Yup. Lot of effort and lot of gears to take with us. Got used to it. But we're slowly minimizing the things. Improving everytime we go on camping.

You're welcome mate.

The place was nice. Lots of camping sites. We weren't lucky enough to get a spot beside the river. Yes condensation is definitely part of tenting. Can be lessened but can't eliminate it. I would recommend the RTT. Before we had our RTT, we used an awning with a tent attachment. Worked alright but we need more space so we thought of getting a gazebo. Too much gear to carry in a small car. So then we decided to go for the RTT. We couldn't think of anything better than this (apart from buying a volkswagen California camper van). With the RTT, it is easy to setup and you are off the ground so it is warmer. I think the downside of having an RTT is it's full time on the roof of our car. We decided to buy this brand of RTT because it suits our budget at that time and also it was one of the cheapest in the market. Other more expensive brands might offer more quality on their product. The RTT works for us. If you don't mind, I would suggest you try it out first then see if it's right for you. I believe there are some rental shops that has RTT's. Hope this helps.

We haven't gone camping yet during hot days. But it will definitely be warm inside.

Oh , it's warm alright😉 We have just spent 36 straight nights in the RTT. Travelling from Sydney to Port Douglas over 4 days, then two weeks in Cooktown where we had heat, rain (18mm overnight) and high winds. Then back to Port Douglas for more heat and heavy rain. The tent managed all without any I'll effects. We use a Kings rechargeable fan which lasts overnight on one charge. Incidentally, when it has rained, give the overhang above the ladder a tap to get rid of water droplets. If not, they run straight down you neck😮😂

@@nathanjessup8409 Oh wow! Awesome trip you guys had. You have really put the RTT to the test! and it's good to hear that it managed thru all that rain and high winds! I need to get myself a rechargeable fan too. We're getting into the warmer months now so it's right time to get one.

Thanks! It might be included on my future posts.

Thanks. I actually tried the bungee cord before. I also attached a carabiner on both ends so its easy to hook onto the eyelets. But I think I used a weak bungee cord thats why it didn't work. I'll try it again. Also thanks for the tip on leaving the floor attached to the annex. That's a great idea!

Hi. No it didn't come with rubber paddings. If you have OEM crossbars, may I suggest that you ask the store for more setup suggestions before buying the RTT. Some OEM crossbars might not be strong enough to carry the weight.

@@4theroad thanks! Sad to hear there is no rubber paddings added, I have ordered infill replacement and may do a diy foam padding. If I may ask, what weight limit does your crossbar and roof have?

@@letsgoridetoday My crossbars are rated at 75Kg. Not sure about my roof load limit. Can't find it in the manufacrurers website

@@4theroad thank you sir, I jumped the gun and bought it haha. Do you think me and my partner are enough to load onto my landcruiser? 68kg hopefully is not too heavy

@@letsgoridetoday @jpunzalanful Awesome! Did you buy it online or from the store? Ask them to assist you loading it on your roof. Its quite heavy. Me and a mate of mine struggled to lift it up to the roof of my car. Lucky we didnt injure our backs. And you got a much taller car! . I would suggest you ask the store to assist you to avoid injury.

Hi. I haven't noticed any bending with ours. If you dont mind me asking, do you have OEM crossbars?

Hi. No you can't open it with the annex tent attached. You have to unzip the annex connection to the RTT then pull back the upper ply so you can open the moonroof

Thanks!

Thanks mate. The spatula came in very handy and yeah, I agree with you insights on the mystery strut. Seems like the tent is functional enough without it. Wow, you're going on a long trip. Sounds exciting! Safe travels and enjoy camping!

😂😂😂

If you leave sleeping bags or pillows in it, the tent wouldn't close and lock

Hi mate. For 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) it is a bit tight. There is small room for movement.

Thanks mate. We loving the tent too! Yes a mattress will definitely make it more comfy. I was thinking of buying an inflatable one but there's not enough room in our car for it. The option that I'm looking at is to replace the mattress with a higher quality one. Probably same thickness but a bit harder compound.
