Chad --- did your dad ever make RTTs?
Jack --- don't forget to swing by the lab after you mount the tent. I'm eager to check it out.

Bill-
You ought to drive over to Gainesville to Terrapod World Headquarters and check them out in person. It's the little details and overall design that Chad has incorporated into these things that convinced me to give up a perfectly usable Maggiolina for something that I think is far better. Seeing the component parts and how they are put together is very impressive.

The topper, in basic trim, is only 170 pounds though. Svelt for a topper.

Precisely. Our RTTx XL is 120 lbs, and the SOLO will be about 75 lbs.
There is a better way.

Very proud to report - the very first production RTTx has been delivered! - Thanks Andy, and welcome to the Terrapod Clan!
Installation notes: RTTx XL installed on a 200 Series Land Cruiser to a Prinsu Rack via Terrapod adapter brackets.
Side note - While the RTTx can be installed on virtually any rack, our testing has shown for best results, mounting on low profile uprights provides the best low profile, lightweight solution. Uprights tested to date are ARB's Rack Fitting Kit and Rhino-Rack's Backbone3. Both work very well.
