Default T-Top Eezi-Awn pics!

Sneak peak of my new Eezi-Awn 1600 T-Top on it's maiden voyage. (thanks Sierra Expeditions!)

My wife absolutely loves the added room. It's like house!





Oh, and yes it is attached directly to the canopy. More on that later (just got back in town and I'm beat).

Pete

Again, more on the mount later. It's pretty big up there.

Very Cool...
I also would like some pics of the inside and some "in process" setup/take down pics.
Hope your trip went great.

I second that, would love to see some interior shots. Can't wait for the follow up.

With that set up who needs a gas guzzling RV.

Cool license plate too, never did follow that BC attitude that considers Alberta plates learner plates. Guess a few years living in Calgary, right outta university, taught me whom really can drive in the snow. But I'm getting off topic.

Very nice RTT.

Here are some more pics...

Once you have the tent open and the ladder down, there is an extension to the frame on each side of the tent (notice the knob on the left side of the pic.



Extend out the frame.



The tent body is wrapped around the end of the frame with a solid velcro wrap.



This is what the outside corner looks like with tent lifted off the frame.



Tent pulled over the edge of the frame and the fly attached.



Extended with only the rear wall attached (all of the side walls are removed before the tent is closed and must be stored separately).
