Great video Doug! Thanks for the tour

[@dougparis7095]

The videos are fun to make and when I find quality products that work out great I like to spread the news!

Great tent - just wish they weren't so much more expensive than like the TopOak that can be had for $1170. Great setup you have though

[@dougparis7095]

Yep, they are expensive, but I thoroughly researched a bunch of different rooftop tents and decided this was the best one.

Been looking for a way to mount my awning. So glad I found your video. I have the exact same RTT. So u went custom bracket to mount your awning? Are there because already pre made?

[@dougparis7095]

I had to make custom brackets using aluminum angle because I wanted the awning to sit close to the rooftop tent and as high up as I could go without interfering with the latch. I did a lot of searching on the web but didn’t really find anything. Maybe Intrepid will use my idea and make a few.

@@dougparis7095 agreed. I've also spoken with Intrepid about expanding the accessories for the rails. I 'm on the list for the FSR 270 awning, and I intend to make it work, whatever it takes, with my Geo 2.5. Thanks for the video! Very informative.

@@Greg-cs8ky The reason I went with the ARB awning is because it's 8'x8' so lots to coverage for rain or sun. Takes a little longer to put away than a FSR 270 awning but once you figure out the trick it goes pretty fast. I should probably make a video on the correct way to setup and put away the awing. Every KZbin video I've seen the people are struggling to set it up or put it away.

@@dougparis7095 that would be great. I am also in touch with Kammock on their cantilever awning. I can actually see the case for a non-270 tent.
