I've gotten far enough on my trailer build that I'm able to mount my RTT tent, however I'm running into an issue with the mounting hardware.
As I'm sure you guys know, the RTT has aluminum rails on the bottom that are used for mounting to load bars. On one side (driver side) the rails are accessible in that you can slide hardware into the rail - this works great. However the rail on the other side (passenger side) has the ends blocked by rails that are perpendicular to it. Since the ends are blocked I can't slide the mounting hardware in. I feel like I've got to be missing something as this can't be the way it suppose to be. I bought the tent used, so I don't have any instructions or anything (not that this should be difficult at all). Below are some pics that might help explain my challenge.
Here is the side (driver's side) that has rails with open ends allowing me to slide in the mounting hardware.
Here is the passenger side with the blocked rail ends. Both the front and back are blocked, and there is no way I can slide the mounting hardware in.
I've tried to see if I could get the mounting hardware in some other way, but no luck (btw the hardware I'm using is from AT trailers - see bottom of this page http://www.adventuretrailers.com/rooftentaccessories.html )
Is this unique to my tent, or am I just being a bonehead here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
