    Freespirit recreation makes an 80x98 and has made it for years. You stated that you checked all the major brands and no one makes a tent this big, but FSR makes a tent bigger than this and at the same price as this one (at current time of this comment), it also includes their tri layer system.

      @@alpinetactics I wouldn’t respond to people like this, I mean my point was that you had said there was not another tent this big and so I was just letting you know there was in case you didn’t realize there was. I wasn’t saying anything bad about your work like this guy was. But I would just ignore these type of comments. Doesn’t do any good to try to justify your reasoning to people that are trolling you. You’re 100% transparent about it so it’s not like you’re trying to lie to people.

      Good to know, that’s a huge jump in size and sounds like it is a great option for even larger families. For family’s of 4-5 this tent is just the perfect size.

    Basically it's a CVT Mt. Denali RTT, it looks like Terra Firma Overland is selling CVT's older tent designs.

    • @alpinetactics
      @alpinetactics  Před 15 dny

      I had looked into the Denali - It was a foot longer and 75lbs heavier. Total deal breaker for me.
      But it’s like I said in the video - right size and weight. May look similar but this tent checks boxes other tents fail to.

    @MrJFKuhn Před 2 měsĂ­ci +1

    Hey great video. I am looking for a larger rtt for family camping that isnt $4k, so this fits. I love the design of this tent and am about to hit the pre order button (using your sweet discount link). Terra Firma seems like a newer brand though. I cant find any other reviews of this tent or any of their tents. You said you were scoping them out before they reached out to you. How did you hear about them? Do you know anything about how well established they are?

    • @alpinetactics
      @alpinetactics  Před 2 měsĂ­ci +1

      I heard about them when they were doing a giveaway on instagram. Ever since I reached out to them I keep in contact with the owners of the company pretty much on a weekly basis lol. They are awesome but yes they are a small family business and are pretty new.

    • @alpinetactics

      Been fortunate enough to not have a windy night in it yet. Been through windy nights in roof top tents and it’s always terrible so we try really hard to camp with some shelter around if wind is in the forecast

  • @benjackson5382

    23zero is what I've been leaning to bc of the light suppression tech. There is a $600 difference between 23zero and Terra Firma, what kind of light does the terria firma allow in? Will sunshine or headlights shine through easily.

    • @alpinetactics
      @alpinetactics  Před měsĂ­cem

      It’s thick canvas, so it stays plenty dark for me to sleep in comfortably. I am not familiar with the 23zero light suppression tech but personally any of these thick canvas tents block out plenty of light for me. If you need black out I can tell you it’s for sure not that. I don’t think you would be disturbed by headlights or flashlights either. We typically camp pretty far away from other vehicles so I haven’t been able to test it but I can’t imagine it being an issue.

      Does measure 4 inches shorter then the terra Firma front to back. Might still be able to accomplish the same sleeping position for a lot of people but for taller folks those 4 inches will matter.

  • @greedyg76
    @greedyg76 Před 2 měsĂ­ci

    Less about the tent and more regarding mounting; at 2:47 in the video the tent looks like its bouncing around severely. That should be a major concern especially mounted on a fiberglass shell. Have you noted any stress cracks in the gelcoat of the shell?

    • @alpinetactics
      @alpinetactics  Před 2 měsĂ­ci +1

      The whole back end of the truck is shaking as a whole (bed, camper shell, roof rack and tent). That’s actually pretty normal on those washboard type roads when you have all that weight in the back (atleast on a Tacoma) Pretty sure in that frame I wasn’t aired down too. Well below the dynamic weight rating, no issues with the mounts or shell.

    There actually is a larger tent than yours. It’s the Gordigear Daintree 220. The sleeping footprint is 7’-6”x 7’-2”. The Gordigear mattress is the most comfortable on the market and overall build quality is superior. We sleep 5 in ours. Has anti wind noise rain fly technology. Comes with 2 ladders. Has annex option with floor. Only costs $2,390. Only downside is it weighs 196lbs but that’s because it’s bigger and it has a 3.1” high density foam mattress. They are one of the highest quality tent makers in the world. Been making tents for 50 years.
