RTT on trailer...Side or rear opening????

A word of caution to Rear Door mounts, make sure your cover is always well secured, no torn zippers or worn straps. A friend had his rear mounted with a zipper that was working its way loose from the stitching. So even with a ratchet strap addition, the tent deployed driving down the highway. The tubes had to be replaced and a whole new cover was quickly ordered.

Did he win the unspoken but frequently bragged about “Shortest Camp Setup Time” Trophy?

This is an excellent point! Thank you for the heads up!

what is the prevailing reasoning for opening RTT to the passenger side instead of driver's side?

thanks in advance.

So I can set it up at the curb in front of my house without blocking traffic or parking “backwards” on the street.
