Not the "welcome to my crib" 💀🤣 we are still working on our gen 2 intro video 🤣 nicely done! Definitely agree on the mattress though, we had to put a secondary mattress on ours too

Looks like a cheaply made tent.

What awning is that you have? It’s sweet! Never seen one that small that goes all the way around

Great review, just ordered for a trip out west.

What a great overview. I am not into RTT's but I want this one 😅

@520overland Ай бұрын

It’s definitely on the lower end of the RTT price range so definitely a good place to start! The other thing is they seem to sell pretty quick second hand if you do want to try it out and upgrade later. It took me about a week or two to sell mine (only sold because I’m upgrading to the new carbon fiber version)

Thanks for the vid. Great info on the RTT. What 270 bat wing awning are you running. Have you did a vid on that?

Thanks for watching! It’s the OVS Nomadic 270 LTE. Here’s my review on it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtCjnqlnuN23dqM.htmlsi=f3AZfYaaBhVnc-V1

Nice job on the video. How did you get a hole in the cover?

@520overland 3 ай бұрын

I thought I was going to be able to clear some low hanging branches but didn’t. Plus they were beefer than I thought. On a related note, when I first bought this tent (got it second hand) it also already had a patched up hole that was allegedly from shipping mishandling. Thanks for watching!!

Nice review. Have you reached out to IO about possible ways to repair the hole? I got my IO rtt hung up in a parking structure.

Oh man, sorry about your tent. I have not contacted them though I may now out of curiosity. The patch done on this by the previous owner and the patch I did held up really well. I used a 3M Leather and Vinyl Repair kit I found at Walmart. www.walmart.com/ip/19864141

do you have any ideas about "grounding" your tent as in a lighting storm?

@520overland 4 ай бұрын

Not really. I think the safest bet is to hop into your vehicle and wait for the lightning storm to pass. Lightning is some gnarly stuff. Thanks for watching!

Is that camp location in Colorado? Amazing view

@520overland Ай бұрын

Thank you! It’s in Washington State! The mountain in the background is Rainier though I’m really hoping I get to check out Colorado this year! Thanks for watching!

What kind roof rack do you have?

I’m using a GoRhino SRM 500 65in with the roll bar mounting kit. I got a full review on it here if you want more information kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtySfL2jxryVZas.htmlsi=fYXFZ7HnpMMUAiUs

Bad design. Side canvas wall panels do not extend over bottom lip. Rain water runs down and into tent soaking mattress pad. What were they thinking?

@520overland 4 ай бұрын

I’ve had it in rain but never out in a good downpour. There are drain holes to let water out but I could see the possibility of them getting overwhelmed in a strong storm. I believe the made the drain holes bigger in the v2 version too so it’s definitely an issue. Thanks for watching!

@swooshdave 3 ай бұрын

It not actually an issue. The water can't get inside the tent. And you've posted this in two different videos on this tent. Do you actually have the IO tent?
