James Baroud RTT - real world experiences

Using Mnemonics and Acronyms is confusing - what the heck is a RTT?

Hello Phil P.
My roof top tent is a heavy canvas one " Dingo doza", it opens out over the back
and it isn't heavy to open,or close but there is a knack to it, Also the ladder slides on top of the base when it is folded away As for the mattress and pillows and doona they stay inside when folded it then has a canvas cover over it "dust proof" Cheers Bill.

Phil,

a mate has one, and he reckons one "downside" is the fact that if you leave the bedding in the unit, it limits the maximum thickness of the mattress you can use, which is thinner than he and wife would like.

He has no other complaints with it,

I can't argue that they are expensive, but the quality and design is very good. If you have seen any of the print ads for them, then chances are that you have seen mine. I have no relationship with the company but happily allowed them to use some of my images which shows my confidence in the product. It has been from one side of the country to the other and survived plenty of rough tracks and endless corrugations. I've slept in it during howling winds and rainy nights, all drama free. I researched as many brands as I could before making the decision, because it was substantially more expensive that some of the other options and I'm am sure I made the right decision.
If I had to make one criticism, it would be that the ESpace model I have can be a little hard to close because the struts are very strong, but mostly because it was on top of a lifted 100 series and now a lifted 200, so it's a long way up. As mentioned in an earlier post, a little load on top would fix it.

So to answer your questions:

Yes. Easily
Yes. Heaps of room.
Opening, easy. Closing, a little hard. (Espace model) w people make it easy.
Aerodynamics are very good and it is a reasonable weight too.

It's one of the best purchases I have made. No question.

I have an Airlander by Magnolina, it's similar to the JB being a hard shell RTT system, Italian made mounted on top of my off-road trailer.
Had it for around 5 years now and it's brilliant.
We keep the bed made, it closes with no issue and takes 60 seconds to wind up and your home.
