Thanks man! Appreciate it. It has been a blast building it and taking pics. Not to mention the best vehicle I have ever owned for exploring.

Your rig looks great as well. Nice bedrack tent setup. Yours is a desiel?

Thanks!

It's seriously such a great platform. That you can actually have all of that together is impressive. Not to mention a useful bed for everyday. Not sure if there is another option out there that's as all around capable.

Your also a Fulltime Rv'er??

Thanks!! That's a great idea. I will most likely do that at some point.

In short, I really love it. Being able to full on wheel without worring about it is so damn nice. I'm honestly surprised more people don't have one.

I wish I’d have know about that RTT before I purchased mine. That tent is amazing! So light and small.

They’re using you photos, aren’t they...

Technically no But we do spend a ton of time in it!

Yeah, I love it!! Yes, I traded them images in exchange for the tent.

My God I got into the wrong business! That is so awesome...they were smart because those pics will sell tents..and Gladiator’s.

Dan, great build! First time I have seen the inflatable rtt. How is it for wear and tear? Have you spent any time in it at below 0 temps?...and insulation capabilities? Thanks for sharing.

Those are some stunning images.
Mind sharing what equipment you use for shooting and post?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, hopefully! They are super nice and I really hope they do OK with them.

The tent itself is super durable. The rubber base is basically paddle board material so super tough. The tent material is very thick and tough as well. Obviously still a tent, but it's solid.

The only thing that wasn't great at all when I got mine was the hose for the air pump. Just bad quality. They were aware and I hope/think it's better now. Not that big of a deal, but I was wishing it was a little better.

We have had some pretty cold nights in it and I would say it's similar to my 4 season tent. Really good for a tent. It comes with a second layer if it was very cold. We haven't used it yet, but nice to have. They are great in high wind.

Once you learn the setup takes about 12 minutes total, but most of that is airing so you can be setting up camp for most of that. Only about 4 or 5 or less of actual work. For the weight and size trade it doesn't bother me at all.

Definitely a few small things that could be better like the zippers for the cover, but overall it's awesome quality and we love it!

I have never had a RTT before despite overlanding non-stop for years. Just couldn't handle how big and heavy they were. So happy they came up with this idea!

Let me know if you have more questions!

Yep, Sony A7Riii and Sony 24-105 for most of these.

I use Lightroom to process 95% and a little Photoshop.
