The guy wire cinches won't cinch. The pegs are tiny and don't hold well. The wire in the frame wore through the fabric in less than a week. It's next to impossible to break down and get back into the bag. This thing is worth around $12. Massively overpriced. Very low quality. If I was to buy another one I wouldn't even look at this brand.

We have used ours 3 times and absolutely love it!!! 2019 Subaru Crosstrek using a heavy duty aluminum aftermarket crossbar (locking type) We tried the OEM style aero crossbars which caused 2 issues: 1. Low clearance for installation which made for some frustrating installation moments) 2. Too much flex (when climbing in and out or moving around inside the RTT) Once installed we placed a 1 “ memory foam topper on the included mattress (otherwise you’ll be a little sore on the hips, elbows, etc). We leave our sleeping bags / blankets inside when we stow it. Takes 2 people to place on the roof manually, I’m building a crank lift for easier install. But, with my wife’s help for balance, it’s very easy. I could probably do it myself (it’s only 124lbs), but it’s Large & a little awkward, don’t want to damage the new Subie! Once installed it’s very easy to put the cover on / off. Deploying the tent and rain fly poles literally takes 2 minutes! Closing and stowing takes less than 5 min. Very comfy and warm. We’ve camped in overnight temps of 30 and 40 degrees, with our Heater-Buddy propane heater. Which was on for about 5 min (with proper ventilation and safety space) I’m 6’4” and about 230 and I fit fine. Wife is much smaller. Very comfy. The LED light (included) is amazing! I’ve called Smittybilt 2 times for questions about the roof rails. Looong wait time. Also, they were not able to answer the crucial roof rail questions. All cars are rated for a max dynamic roof weight of 150lbs (stability and safe turning). Sturdy roof rails are key! Preferably, I’d like to add a 3rd roof rail for weight distribution over the long term. The ladder is a shining spot. It’s nice and wide and safe for those late night restroom trips. The taller clearance roof rail you use, the easier it is to install. I actually leave the rails attached to the RTT when I remove it. It will cause some wind resistance and gas mileage decrease. All said, this is one of the coolest investments in our happiness that we’ve ever made! The tent is very thick, sturdy & well made. The zippers are tough & don’t snag. The rain fly poles are very easy. (If you’re under 6’, you might want to take a small step stool - like my short wife 🤣) to assist with deploying / stowing the RTT. We’ve learned a lot in a short time, thanks to the RTT community. Hope this helps! We can be contacted for further questions on Instagram at Overlander_minney_treehouse. -Joe
