Thanks for the review. I may consider switching to this as my condor overland is tight with my family and this would give definitely some more room. Btw, same issue on the condor with the struts.
@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
We slept in it this weekend and all 3 of us fit really well. We actually didn’t have any issue with the struts when we were inside of it although I do feel the strut location or length could be adjusted at the factory to better perfect it. If any of us got in or out, the tent was solid. We found actually our only gripe was lack of storage in the tent. I ended up just putting my stuff behind my pillow. Our tuff stuff tent had 9 pockets sown onto the inside of the hard top so there were lots of places to store little odds n ends.

@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
Not exactly. It’s actually not really an issue. Once you’re up in the tent, it flattens out and doesn’t move around even if you change your sleeping position. You only notice it right when you enter the tent.

great great video. I think you covered it all. I also was able to get in on the $2000 deal. I just went out and checked over all of the cons you talked about and mine really didnt have the same problems. The latches are somewhat on the looser side but not quite as loose as yours were. The nylon washer is a great idea. My skylight is not whited out like yours is. actually its very clear (for now anyway). you mentioned the bottomless holes for the fly poles. Mine seat in. And I did see a few aluminum shavings under the mattress but not like you showed. The struts on mine also open smooth and dont stick before opening fully. Mine also came with a front awning and poles as well as the bike racks. I hope that I am not coming across as a jerk here but just wondering why so different. Its a great tent. Really solid in all ways. Maybe a bit heavy overall. Good luck ..👍
@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Tried to cover it all but realized I did not cover the tent pole/awning side of it. It did come with that. They did end up sending out the missing rails that mount to the top of the tent. You’re not coming off as a jerk at all! I just wanted folks to know. I had spoken to customer service formerly and it sounds like their first main batch of tents had the issues I had explained. I was hopeful to get one of the “corrected tents” but didn’t work out that way. I’d say you made out pretty well!

Is there room to store your bedding etc inside when closed?
@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
Because of the slim design, there is very little room. We added a 2” memory foam egg crate pad and it only closes with half of it inside. The other half we have to roll up and pack separately. You could probably fit a few blankets or sleeping bags layed out, just nothing too bulky.

Hey Jacob, unfortunately the stargazer has not gotten clearer. It does however still allow a good amount of light through. Even under a full moon in the mountains it was bright at night in the tent.

How would you say the fit/finish and material quality is compared to your Tuff Stuff Alpha? I'm currently considering these exact two tents. great video with really good detail! no one else on the internet has shown the elastic chord keeper, what to do with those clear velcro panels or how the window flys have side side protection. Compared to the Alpha how good does this seal the interior of the tent around the bottom perimeter when the tent is closed? there is indeed minimal to zero information on this tent even from CVT themselves
@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
Thank you for the compliments! The fabric on our tuff stuff was a little thicker than on this CVT but still seems good. This tent has no additional interior solid fabric to go over the entry / exit point like the tuff stuff did - only a solid flap on the outside of the screen. The little flaps that come down and Velcro at the hinge sealed better on the tuff stuff mainly because the way the tuff stuff folded out it was even and flush at the joint. The bottom perimeter seals VERY well around the base when closed! The things that shine the most on the CVT over the tuff stuff (alpha II model) is the shell, the latching clamps and window awning designs. This tent is so much easier to close and latch and it’s a slimmer profile which allows me to fit in the garage better. Also with solid aluminum it’s likely going to remain very durable. We like the size as our family of 3 fits perfect. The tuff stuff alpha II is really only good for 2 people. While I believe the fabric part of the tuff stuff was better quality we are really happy so far with the CVT. We actually camped in it this weekend in the mid 20s and we were all cozy in our 0 degree bags. Our condensation did freeze to the inside of the tent so about 7-8am when the sun got to us it started raining inside lol. That’s one other issue…this CVT tent has no vents inside on top like the tuff stuff did so we had to make sure to crack the windows to help with moisture accumulation. The cvt does come with a condensation mat so there was no moisture under the mattress, just the sides and roof. Just had to wipe it down and let it air out. We got condensation in the tuff stuff as well but not as much as the CVT. Let me know if you have any more questions!

TJA, can you confirm with ur cvt rtt that the Rubber Seal on the outside when you close it the corner seals has gaps. Is there a way to fix it?
@tacojeepadventures Жыл бұрын
Hey there, so I’d say you can fit a finger through at each corner where the trim kinda folds but it’s not bad on mine at all. However, water would have to be sprayed directly upwards into the bottom of the tent at each corner for water to get in there. I’ve had much worse designs on former tents and been in down pours, washed my truck/tent with pressure washer and never had any issues with those tents so I’m way less concerned with this tent. Now that you mention next time I have it open I’ll see if there’s anything I can come up with and report back. You could probably stuff something behind the trim seals in those corners to make it flush with the tent there. I may try something now that you point that out.

This truck is a 5’ bed and this is the larger of the 2 sizes of this tent. I believe it is the medium. The outside of the shell measures 75” in length. It does overhang the end of the truck bed but because of the tire carrier, I this it looks okay. The extra room to fit the fam is a huge plus!
