Peroxide gets the mold out.then spray it with the product you mentioned. I had it ob my arb awning once. I forgot to open it up at home after it got went from rain.
rocks work really well also a shovel to level works great having two people open and set up tent. always clean if possible, every time you break down then it's ready for your next trip I drive a jeep 12 miles is allot to me about the same here.. in cost.

Great video 👍 If i am camping in the Canadian snowy winter, any tips for drying out the tent? It may snow for a couple of days and due to the extreme cold temperatures, it may not dry.
Hello Alex - Thanks for great channel and info. I appreciate you doing so. Quick question - do you know of any source for ARB Kakadu Root Top Tents I can reach out as I've been having real dificulties finding information/accesories or tips related to this specific roof top tent. Be safe and well.
Have you found a way to use a universal wind-fairing to help with MPG? For example unless you have a really large roof rack, any of the hard shells will basically go past your flat roof onto the downsloping area towards your windshield. Nothing but a very large roof rack could have a wind-fairing in place there and even then the wind fairing will likely begin underneath the RTT itself rather than infront of the RTT
Ya thats tough since most hardshell RTTs will overhang near your windshield as you mentioned.. I think in that case there isn't much of a work around unfortunately.
$1400 for both sounds good. I have a FJ as well, and am looking for an entry level roof top tent. Do you have a link for the ones(tent and rack) you bought by chance?
I bought my Smilttybilt RTT (regular size, not the XL) and Rolla crossbars from Amazon about 1 1/2 years ago for around $900+$250. Both have gone up slightly but still a good price. Also, Smilttybilt came out with a newer version of my tent now.
@@AP-br6dh Much appreciated. The smittybilt tent I was looking at on Amazon was listed for $1545 a week ago, now is being sold for $1707. Idk what the hell their thinking but its damn ridiculous to jack the prices like this.
clarification: the dynamic weight limit should be considered in relation not just to the rack limit, but the vehicle roof limit. the vehicle roof limit is typically lower than the rack limit. Even if the rack can carry 200lbs., you should not exceed the car roof weight limit which depending on the vehicle is about 160lbs give or take. Consider even a water container on the roof at about 8lbs. per gallon quickly adds up. too many overlanders pack those racks far exceeding the limits, placing themselves and their occupants in danger while driving.
Yes, just watering down the exterior of the tent. Taking the mattress out is smart just because the water will drip into the tent and the mattress takes forever to dry out!
Hey man, I see in one of your clips that your RTT is mounted on the OEM rack. I’ve been scouring the internet trying figure out what crossbars to buy in order to fit a RTT on the OEM rack. Im super confused on if it’s even possible or not.... please help
I had the same experience! I got the Yakima timberlines and they worked perfectly. They’re safe and can handle all the weight you need. Hope this helps you out!
@@oovoojava3722 The length of the bars should not matter for the tent to fit on them. The length of the bars only matters to fit your vehicle and so it doesn't look too long or short compared to the width of your vehicle.
@@rooftentinsider512 Hello, joining this conversation late... Did you just get the Yakima Timberline towers and attach the tent to towers? Thanks in advance. Rod
Good question, I would say for a decent RTT you're looking at roughly $3,000 give or take! You can find them much more expensive obviously but at that price point you'll get a solid RTT! Check out my article on Average RTT cost, I compare over 39 prices of the most popular brands! rooftentinsider.com/average-roof-top-tent-cost-with-39-prices/
I dont ever hear mine mines on a canopy on my dualcab navara and its got no noise nothing dont know about wind drag hahaha but goes good bit of a pain in the ass abit high
That looks ridiculous on the FJ. Its way too high, needs to come down 8" I can only imagine the noise from the wind. Ground top tents are so better. Especially with a dog. and no maintenance
