  • We purchased the Tuff Stuff Ranger 3 Roof Top Tent because it fit our budget at the time. We have been impressed with the build quality abd how well it has held up. We have used this RTT in snow and rain; in the mountains, beach and in between. Its not perfect, but it is a very good tent at an affordable price.

      Tsar Trail the Alpha RTT we have had a telescoping ladder. Since it’s a TuffStuff product also I wonder if the width and mounting is the same cause it should bolt right in otherwise.

      They do make a very good tent. Not sure why the still make the in un- protected side of the soft Tents just like the Tuff Stuff tent we have. It is a bummer to see that part of the tent dent and dimple with each use. But then again some of the 23zero models still come without the aluminum diamond plate protector too.
      The new cvt hardshell looks pretty good too.

      Tepui makes one that fits the Tuff Stuff RTT. And I'm pretty sure that 23zero has one that fits as well.

      We have switched over to an organic Topper. It is so much better. Much more comfortable. It comes in 1" and 2". The link is in our Amazon store. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it.

    How do you prevent mold

    • @TsarTrail
      @TsarTrail  Před 3 lety

      Great question. You have to use a anti-condensation mat under the mattress. And if free tent gets wet, it needs to be left open to dry. Or if you are traveling, opened up with in a day to dry out. We jabber followed those simple rules and hands had no mold problems. It is also a good idea to treat the tent with a water seal spray once a year. Just let it air out after so you are not breathing the fumes. It really is pretty easy.
      You can be in rain for days with not problems as long as the tent gets opened a lot. Like to sleep each night. The tent will not mold when it is open. Even if you are in days of rain. The real mold risk is when it is left wet and closed up for too long.
      Hope that helps.
