Thanks - every piece of this configuration has been a LOT of work and testing!
With regard to the tent mounting system, as far as I know it is the only tent in the world that is mounted flush to a platform rack. I spent a lot of time looking for a solution like this when I decided to purchase the tent, but I couldn't find any options. I even called several tent companies to ask for advice. It seemed ridiculous to me that the tent would be mounted above my platform with two sets of criss-cross bars, increasing the height by nearly six inches, creating more wind noise, worse aerodynamics and worse gas mileage.
So I spent several weeks designing a flush mount system that solved all of these problems AND enables me to configure the tent to open to the side OR to the rear of my Jeep. I sent Tepui (the tent company) some photos of how I built this system in case they wanted to offer this solution to other customers with platform racks, but they did not have interest in pursuing this concept.
