I did such a good job of convincing darkmark of the merits of the Bush Company Alpha...that he purchased a new tent rather than buying mine! ? Still have some nibbles and inquiries, but no one has ponied up and made her theirs. You need this tent!

Good morning all, A deal on the tent came together on Friday--then the young man purchasing her had an unfortunate weekend involving a big Air Conditioner Repair and a deer that met the front end of his truck at a high rate of speed! Life happens and thanks, Cole, for the good communication. I...

Consider it done! I will give you a ring to make arrangements, so if you see a "405" number pop up, it is most likely me. Thanks!

I have an individual interested in the tent at a reduced price...but he has not yet pulled the trigger. I am now asking $3,750.00 for the tent and accessories. This is going to make someone's summer be one to remember!

My wife and I are placing our Bush Company Alpha RTT up for sale. This is a hard decision, but our lives took a significant turn over the past year which makes our using her in the manner she deserves questionable. I will include two Bush Company Load Bars, one with MaxTrax Load Bar Brackets and...

We had one of their Soft-Shell models...not sure it is still in production. It literally came apart on us. Seams and stitching came undone. Hinge Points on the aluminum supports failed etc. etc. We got caught in a gnarly wind one night while camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park, and had to fold...

1. What other tents did you consider? Why did the Alpha win out? 2. How has it held up to use? Any points of wear you see? 3. How comfortable is the tent to use and sleep in? Any improvements or enhancements you would recommend? 4. Anyone have one of these on truck? Pics? 5. How was your...

On the mattress... The wife and I have found the mattress in the Alpha to be a bit firm for our taste. The simple addition of a memory foam topper corrected the issue and we could not be happier. With the mattress, the topper, top and fitted bottom sheets, a goose-down quilt, and three down...

Thanks again, Dave. The Ford diode is ordered and will be here in a couple days.

Thank you, Dave. I learned something this morning. With your information, I am guessing my alternator is probably fine--just running on the low end of the acceptable range. A quick search turned up this product...

I have been having a bit of intermittent trouble with the refrigerator in the 4Runner. When running on the house battery it would run fine for a while, but intermittently stop cooling (fan running, lights on). I brought her into the house and plugged her into the 110V and she purred for 12...

https://www.amazon.com/Sirocco-24V-Gimbal-Size-Black/dp/B01LDY4X36 We have been very impressed by our Sirocco.

Prior to setting up the dual battery setup in the 4Runner, I carried a Yellow Top battery in the back with the fridge. I would run the fridge off the 4Runner Inverter during the day and the battery during the night. During the day I had a small battery charger I would run off the 4Runner to keep...

To this point I have not noticed any adverse handling issues. We have not been on any trails of consequence, but I have 2,500 or so Interstate/around town miles with it mounted and don't even notice it. We knew we were looking at moving to a hardshell tent when I freshened up the suspension and...

I am swapping out my KO2's for a new set (60K miles and they have been outstanding in all conditions). It does give me a chance to add a second spare--one mounted underneath and one on the rear bumper. I am reluctant to add an additional 100#'s or so, but in that one in a thousand instance when...

I will work on getting some pics posted. To this point we have put it to use in "low condensation" situations. But, there are two factors with the Alpha which will, I believe, make it handle moisture well: one is the excellent ventilation, and the other is that it is a true double wall tent. I...

Any thoughts I have on the Alpha to this point are overwhelmingly positive. My wife and I have only been able to put her to use for a half a dozen nights to date, but we are settling into a very comfortable pattern. A couple observations: Coming from a soft-sided RTT, the time necessary for...

The 4Runner is working great and has been absolutely problem free from the Arctic Ocean to Mexico. She has been maintained on Toyota's recommended schedule, but as I am coming up on 60K miles I was wondering about any specific maintenance that the experience of the group might recommend...

This thing is the Bomb! Thanks, Rex, for the fantastic service! More pictures of her in use to follow.
