Which type of rubber sealant did you use between the aluminum profiles? Can you post some pictures with that detail too?
@HeadwayDrive Жыл бұрын
No sealant is applied between the aluminum profiles. If you hold down the honeycomb panel with an L-shaped angle and tighten the bolts, water will not leak.

Really good RTT, I started to make mold and make it from fiberglass, but I changed the plan because of the weight of final rtt which I don't like, so I think to do it like you with aluminium profiles Bosh Rexroth . Can you please write, what are your sizes of frame? Aluminium profiles are 30x60mm? 195x127cm will be my dimensions of the frame. Great work and Thank you!

Thank you for your interest. The aluminum profile size is 30x60mm and 2000mm and 1200mm are used. This length is the inner size. Since the corner aluminum is 30 mm on one side, the outer diameter is 1260 mm x 2060 mm.

@@HeadwayDrive Thank you for your answer. So when it's closed on 12cm height it can fit pillows, blanket and stairs? I need to know all that before order the all parts. I thought maybe to go with 30x30mm alu profile on upper panel but I'm afraid it will be to tin to feet all necessary.
@HeadwayDrive3 жыл бұрын
@@supportsrb When 30x60mm is closed in two steps, a height of 90mm can be secured inside. I think you can store ladders and blankets as they are. Pillows may not fit depending on the height. If you use 30x30mm for the top, you should use 60mm for the bottom. It is better to secure at least 90mm of internal space.

こんにちは Your tent is beautiful! I have a couple of questions. How much does it weigh? Considering the fact that you have lifted the car, doesn't the additional weight affect the vehicle stability when driving?
@HeadwayDrive4 жыл бұрын
こんにちは、 When installing the rooftop tent, fix it to the base carrier, etc. but that method will cause the center of gravity to rise and it will become unstable. The weight of my tent is 50kg, but the center of gravity is low because it is fixed so that it is not separated from the roof as much as possible. The vehicle will not be unstable
Im really interested in this design. @2:23 you said “all the pipes in the dough...”. What does this mean? Is this in reference to how the tent is attached to the slot in the aluminum extrusion?
@HeadwayDrive3 жыл бұрын
Aluminum pipes are used to fix the tent fabric. Pass the pipe through the fabric and insert it into the groove of the aluminum frame. You can see it by watching the video of 3. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ7XpIaIdsaLqtE

Although each vehicle roof has a defined load limit, it is within the range where commercial rooftop tents can be placed. In addition, since it is designed to support with 4 basic points, it should be possible to load items exceeding 100 kg. By the way, this rooftop tent weighs 55 kg.
