Mounting and dismounting your roof top tent by yourself 

Best RU-vid video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing your brilliant solution.

Probably the best video regarding the RTT one man job. Excellent work!!

Awesome!!!

Great step by step video. I think I have enough clearance in my barn for a lift system but this approach seems manageable.

Brotha…this is awesome! I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to mount and dismount my tent. Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for sharing 😄👍🏽

Thanks for taking the time to show your idea. Took away some lessons!

This is just awesome. Shouldn’t be hard for a woman. Thanks Subscribed

Life saver! This is genius!

Great video and very creative! This helped me figure out how I'm going to do something very similar. Loved the 'Not Trash' marking on the scrap wood 🤣

Nice "homeEngineering" My solution was get a "Roofnest Meadowlark" Thing weighs 90 pounds! I can get it on the roof myself and I have also just put it in the bed, slid it under my Tonneau cover. So glad i waited and watch the RTT market for years before buying.

Well thought out. Very nice design, indeed.

Hey dude! Thanks for sharing your invention! Now I know how to get my roof tent off my lifted Jeep!

I got everything the video lift needs, try out tomorrow

great idea!

Very well thought out. Ingenious in fact. Thank you for sharing it. 👍

Great video!

Best one I’ve seen so far.

This is a great lift system! I'm going to have to do this!

Thank God my RTT weighs 80 lbs and I can put in on top of our Honda Element by myself (without any type of equipment).

I love this! I think most of the garage don’t have the enough height for it I have a tundra as a work truck normal day I even have to put on a bed rack and take out the tonneau cover everytime But the RTT is the most headache part for me😂 I got inspired from you sir Wish you all the best

Very clever, thank you for sharing

Great designed very clever.

That was a great video, I love the idea.

Great vid. I had to chuckle as my system is quite similar - as I pulled from various other forums and vids to do mine. Differences - I load mine from the back not the side. I fashioned 2 2x4's to fit in the load clamps so that I could slide the tent up and down the ramp and into the storage area. It required bevelling out the wood so that it approximated a good size for the clamps. I use a boat trailer winch and go through a pulled 90 degrees to give me lift. However, I really like the quiet and ease of the 110v winch.. I'll look into that, thanks. I have an iKamper too and can reach the front clamp from the back - not sure if that would work better for you vs. the tip down spoiler method. All in all, excellent vid and system.

Thank you for this idea. I’ve been trying to think of a way to load my rtt.

really love this video thank you ! I have the same problem and may try to reproduce what you did.

Well done & well executed Good Job👍🏼👏🏼

Excellent video and a well thought out solution to mounting and un-mounting RTTs. I just bought a Darche Panorama this morning so this will be useful. Not sure whether to go for wood or steel construction though. I think steel might be easier to make it so I can disassemble it when not in use. Light gauge 2x2 box section should be plenty strong enough and not too heavy. Gotta get an electric winch too, great idea.

Bought 120 in wood 100 plastic and 120 hoist . Love the idea but need something just as good but cheaper . Thank you for getting the creative juices going

Great video. It's nice to show both installation and removal of the RTT. Luckily my iKamper and rig fits in my garage so I don't ever have to remove it.

Thanks for the video - I was glad to see that the Racor lift system you linked to is unavailable - hopefully that's permanent. I had one years ago (my comment is on amazon with photos) that nearly killed me, and if I had been standing 12" from where I was, it would have. The system has a design flaw in that it puts a lot of tension on a plastic "wheel". If that plastic wheel has a defect (it can bend and warp under the pressure) and gets caught up, the "lift" portion will unwind, but the "rack" portion (the outside cables) will not . . . until they do, and then it comes crashing down. My only injury was when the rod that you use to unwind it kicked back and hit me between the eyes,, but I shudder to think of a kid standing under that system. At the end of the day, I pushed them to write me a settlement check - as much for the injury (though it hurt like an MF) as it was the time to install, uninstall and pack up to ship. Plus, I wanted anyone who was injured in the future to be able to discover that Racor knew they had a problem and had cut settlement checks in the past. I haven't looked at the reviews in years, but even at the time I was not the only one to have had a similar problem. I hope they finally killed that product and that no one was too badly injured.

What a brilliant idea. It seems to be a common issue with rtt as to how am I going to mount and dismount the tent by myself. This will definitely do the trick! Do you have a blueprint that we could use to duplicate this system? Thanks, keep up the great videos!

3:54 Yeah, I probably should have done that, too. But after watching your video and a few others, I decided to go the opposite direction and get a Rhino Pull 1000 😅

Great video for 1 person loading and loading your rtt. Maybe you could look into those quick release mounts to make the wind deflection part unnecessary.

Very good ... Come on over !

This is a great ensign with the exception that now you tent is resting on only two crossbars vs the entire rack. Those rubber bumps should go or add the rubber bumps to every crossbar to evenly distribute the weight across all the crossbars

I agree with the comments. You did a great job. Very ingenious. I’m assuming you take it off for theft purposes, gas consumption or height restrictions?

Love this! What are those clamps? They look phenomenal! Did you get them with the iKamper mini? Any idea if those would work on other tent tracks? Also, how long are those top 2x4s? Thanks!

I thought you'd like to know your Rope Hoise link leads to a Univ Buffalo Teaching Lesson. Valuable, nonetheless!

Could you provide a link to where you found those mounting brackets/clamps? Those seem amazing

Genius! I copied your idea except I used 14 foot long boards because my jeep sits higher and i set the "sliding" 2x4s standing up and looks like wont flex as much as laying on their sides. Do you or anyone know if your ikamper clamps will work on any or most other brand RTT bottom side mounting rails?? Those seem like they would make it so much easier

Very clever! Have you had any issues with your RTT making noise sitting directly on your rack?

Which brackets are you using to attach your tent to your Prinsu rack?

What's the width on the system you built? Looks like you had 10' 2x4s... Would you go any longer or shorter if you had it to do over again? Any wider or narrower?

Hi, how long are those 2x4s that you use? Thanks

What are those clamps your using to to hold the Tent on?

That's a very clever way but since my rig is a little taller and my iKamper is a fullsize 2.0 its more difficult.

Can you provide the link to the rtt clamps?

Hi what type of tent mounts are those?

Would an engine hoist lift it high enough?

What length were your 2x's?

how heavy is that tent?

Slick!

Nice, though I’m not comfortable with you standing under the assembly. 😮

why not just put ratchet straps around the tent. And use the hoist to lift the tent up and drive under the tent, then lower the hoist/tent onto the truck? no need for the wood contraption.

Here's a bit easier sistem: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q4F2FC47GPk.html

Mickey Mouse system going to get some dummy hurt….😂

funny how he calls his 4runner a "truck"
