$185k is just the base model, it's crazy. And I've read the earlier versions have been unreliable.Quote:

Not sure if this belongs in the Golfing thread, Lawn Maintenance thread, or the GOTOS thread. I report, you decide.

discount humvees? how much?
The natural choice for the crowd that likes to pretend they're in the military. Plenty of space for ammo boxes in the bed.Quote:

Somebody lost their roof tent in the right lane of the Thruway today. What a pain in the ass- and it didn’t look like anybody was trying to recover it either. I wonder if they knew it came off.

^^^Nice find. I count 18 points, including one for the bag of empty cans
Kinda looks like they cleaned up a bunch of plastic bottles, which should be negative points.
Nm, they’re disposable water bottle drinkers, +eleventy points.
Negative points for not addy it up yourself. Impressive find.Quote:

Nobody tents on the ground anymore.Quote:

Not to mention they are much more aerodynamic than a van or a trailer. Very important for lowering your carbon footprint.
After initially considering a RTT and talking with some users we came to the conclusion that a big old car camping tent is a whole lot more convenient and comfortable.

Still waiting for the video of one of those ketchup bottles exploding. Roll over with sparks, misplaced ciggy butt, poorly aimed firework... so many possibilities. It must have happened.
Around here a number of the state parks had a must have a tent-no sleeping in vehicles requirement. Which made the hammock folks set up some small shitty empty tent for compliance. I guess the RTT is a “tent” though.Quote:

Hasn’t been my experience/observation. I don’t know anyone that’s gotten an RTT and has willingly gone back to the PIA that is a ground tent. Can’t argue with comfort, but generally the more comfortable a ground tent the less convenient.Quote:

Safe to say that roof never comes off the Wrangler. That’s half the fun of owning one !

If I was inclined to "build" something for campground use, I'd probably build up from a utility trailer and customize a cabin tent on top with a cutout floor. I have an aging pop-up and it was never quite what I wanted. I haven't decided whether to get rid of it or rebuild it into something I like. It definitely needs work.
That's what cracks me up about the whole trend. Since when did having a normal tent you could just toss in the back become so passé?Quote:

Also, there's marketing and the whole explosion of GOTOS among tech bros and other young wealthy folk that are looking for a "lifestyle".Quote:

What cracks me up is people spend 10 or 20x more on a RTT when a decent ground tent is really a better option for them and the way they camp.Quote:

Guy on his first trip with a RTT. "I'm definitely going to put this thing on an adventure trailer rather than have it mounted to the truck. That way I don't have to pack it up when I want to drive somewhere." Let me get this straight. You already have an unnecessarily heavy and bulky piece of gear that doesn't work well for you. And your solution is to spend another few thousand $$ and haul several hundred more pounds of trailer to accommodate said piece of gear? Ground tent!!
Another guy complaining... "All the sites here are walk in sites. You park along the road and the actual campsite is down there by the stream. They need to build more sites where you can actually drive right to where the campsite is." Ground tent!
There's a definitely subset of campers who RTTs are perfect for. Other than that they seem best for camping for people who don't really camp. Or combined with GOTOS, for people who enjoy gathering all the gear for an activity more than the activity itself.
very few car roofs are rated for the hundreds of pounds of human flesh and their assorted accutraments that will be rolling around up in that there rooftoptent.
Fucking idiot.Quote:

Hahaha. Pretty hilarious. I think he's exposed the real truth behind the GOTOS crowd. They're soft and completely inept apparently. Probably freak out the second they leave the comfort of their Whole Foods parking lot's pavement, thus the traction plates, farm jack, variety of canisters, and even shelter on the outside, ALWAYS at the ready.Quote:
