Great video. I see that you are using the Alu-Cab shadow awning. What kind of rack are you using and do you need a special mount to fully open the roof nest tent. Dig the set up!
Hi Matt! Thanks for following along! We have a front runner slimline 2 rack which Alu Cab makes brackets for. The roofnest is on front runner quick release mounts and had to be mounted a bit off center to allow it room to open next to the awning. We really do like the current configuration. Everything seems to be holding up well. The truck is in a container in Houston now and we’re eager to get it back in Colombia. Our next video is close to ready for upload!
@@mattclegg1086 no creaking sounds. I wouldn't call it "super easy" but definitely easier. The clips do have a lock with a key which gives us a little more peace of mind that someone won't run off with our "home". Though we aren't really worried about theft as we are usually either close to the truck, sleeping in it, or parked someplace secure.

@@Overland-Traveler thanks. Any noticeable creaking from the quick release? Must make it super easy to get on and off truck.
