Do you put the self inflating mat in by itself or on top of the standard mattress that it comes with? Also could you sleep with your head in the wedge? I know my pillow sticks out past the top of my head maybe it would be fine to use that unusable space in the end.
I'd suggest replacing the mattress with another self-inflating mattress. Depending on the thickness of the mat and how much gear you want to store inside, you may be able to leave the foam base layer inside and but a thinner 5-7 cm self-inflating mat on top. As for your head in the wedge, I don't see why you can't do this. ~ Ben
The versions I setup were designed such that the awning pole angled away from the tent and maintained tension, I'm not sure if this is a specific update from when you initially heard about the issue sorry. We do have a newly manufactured container on its way to us, so they will be the current design. ~ Ben
Hmmm, could have an impact and make it stiffer to glide, but I don't think it would be much different to other tent and swag zippers in the same sort of climate. ~ Ben
I'm not overly familiar with Rhino rack, I think the slats are wider in which case you may need some custom or Rhino Rack specific brackets that are compatible with the M8 channels on the mounting rails. ~ Ben
I don't get it. Why are the fly screens on this RTT on the inside? I would have thought that common-sense dictates, they should be on the outside. Just like tents or houses. Is there something that I'm missing here?
I'm not sure what their rationale was, it is a point of difference and in line with what many tents used to be. We'll be sure to talk to the manufacturer about it. ~ Ben
Sadly you can't exceed 30Kg on the roof of a jimny. Insurance may reject your claim if you have an accident, probably not great for vehicle dynamics too.
I like the idea of a lightweight & slim RTT. But with the windows/doors zipping up to open / down to close, it's a deal breaker for me. In this tent, if you want any sort of privacy, you have to zip them fully closed. If they zipped up to close, you can at have them partially open from the top for airflow, and still providing privacy at the lower portion.
A few people have mentioned this, not sure if the manufacture had a reason for making it the way they did, we'll be sure to talk to them about it. ~ Ben
