Looking at these pics here, seems like I’ve got a bit of squat now. Mojave springs: not really set up for heavier loads (between the cap, rtt, bedslide, steel fender flares and aluminum fender liners, I’m probably over 400lbs back there). New springs are probably in my future…

Hi all. Just chiming back in here quick to say I that I picked up my rooftop tent today: Topoak Galaxy Pro. It’s on the truck and I’m stoked to take it out for it’s maiden voyage soon. Sending a couple pics for visual evidence. Thing was a bear to get mounted to my cap because the crossbars are...

Worth noting: these are all made in China, many of them in the same factory. I bet you could find this exact model on Alibaba for way less...

Very drool-worthy indeed! I had no idea that even existed, If I had, it might have been a very serious contender. 215 lbs all in is lighter than what my cap/RTT combo will be (unless I went with the lighter tent). Of course, my whole set-up will be just over half the cost. But the design is...

I should add about the Duracap: they have their own integrated, low-profile, t-slotted crossbars that bolt directly into the cap using the existing hardware. They cost less than $200 for the pair. I didn’t purchase them when I got the cap but am ordering them now for my RTT.

Thanks, everyone, for the insights. Truly appreciated. @Neomonk21 and @Fpolanco: I hear you guys and feel myself gravitating towards the bigger tent for that reason: I’m trying to create a setup that is more convenient and comfortable than a ground tent, not less. And believe me, @teamblkdog...

Hello all, Not a regular poster to the forum, though I am an active reader here and have learned much from everyone's experiences. I'm writing with a question about rooftop tents, their size and weight. Specifically, I'm about to pull the trigger on the purchase of a rooftop tent, for my...

Hey all, Greg here. Just joined the forum. JLU owner at the moment, but on the verge of buying a JT... You'll see me asking stupid questions in other threads on this forum any moment now...
