At $6,000 for the automatic queen RTT it should be pretty good, one would hope.

Can’t help with the tent itself, but the company is owned by James
Cockburn who now is an owner of
Kimberley Kampers, and before that he was an agent for
Kimberley and owned SEQ Campers and Gear at Caboolture. Pretty sure James designed the RTT from memory, I have nothing but good things to say about how he looks after his customers from the dealings I had with him at SEQ Campers.

Backtrax was one of the options I looked at before buying. It looks like a really
well made unit. Cons, for me, were side-by-side sleeping (having to climb over someone to get out), the front and rear windows suffer from the same issue as most lift-up fiberglass units- they need to be closed in hot, rainy conditions, leading to low ventilation levels (trust me, having used a Baroud unit up north one year, this is a significant negative). You can apparently purchase a second awning for the other side, increasing airflow. This would be a good option in my mind.
Other than that, expensive but a decent product.
Cheers,
Mark
