I'm giving up on my Tempu RTT, awesome tent, it's just to difficult to mess with anymore. Aging fingers (arthritis), endless tucking from all sides, during rain, cold and wind. Looking at hardshell RTT's. Some of the new ones deploy/take-down in 30 seconds, with minimal tucking. And, some you can leave all of your bedding up there, pillow included. And, l'm only using one when my wife is along. Solo, inside.

Went of FB Market Place the other day, where l found my canvas RTT's 7 years ago (out of three to chose from)...and now, there were 45 canvas RTT's forsale in my area.

I actually don’t consider myself that tall. My brothers are 6’8” and 6’10”. The bigger one has 2 boys who actually look down on me as well. My dad was only 6’5”, but we were corn fed midwestern oafs raised on farm milk (9 gallons a week) and if mom didn’t need the cream for cooking something, we just shook it up and had half & half on our Wheaties.

@Richard Gallant looks super cool and I wish I had the time to take off on some trips this year, but alas I’m stuck getting the barn fully functional as well as the new silver one ready. I’ll at least get one trip in this year and head to Ouray for the LR National Rally.
