For those contemplating a wood framed RTT instead of aluminum extrusion, you might consider using a planer/joiner to square up the edges of the frame for a cleaner fit. You can also inlet the frame for low profile weather stripping. (It will last far longer if it has some room to squish without becoming paper thin.)
Can we please have an update on the build. Now that your finished we would love to know how the build help up. Any changes you have made, and thing you would of like to change and is there something you would of wished you knew before you started. Dope build. Most likely will do this than pay 2k for something I can do the same
it could be better. If you have access to the materials and youre good and plastic welding or using a bonding agent for it. I went with wood because its cheap and easy. Plastic may not be as rigid as the wood, and it could possibly be heavier. But im not super sure on that.
@@evansautomotive307 thats why I'm asking. I see everyone doing with plywood makes sense for bottom. But for top I would think 3mm plastic as skin still use wood box with corner suport as base for top. Maybe drip plastic over sides? So it keeps water and dust out better. Idk I'm just bouncing ideas. Im making little list to build for my rover.
I will for sure!, the base weighed 95lbs which is pretty heavy, but the canvas, mattress, struts and everything else shouldnt exceed 30lbs. So I think a safe estimate is 130-130lbs
I dont have the materials listed, but if you dont make any mistakes you can use 3-2x4s and 3-1x4s. I used a sheet of 1/2in plywood for the bottom and i believe an 11/32s piece on the top.
You need to balance your sound. Voice is very soft so I turn it up. Then the MUSIC STARTS AND i HAVE TO TURN IT DOWN SO I DON'T BLOW OUT MY EARS. This is a pet peeve of mine on utube.

Question would plastic be better as top layer? Lighter water proof cap. Cut ting and melting corners.

@@merkucamp Yeah it would just be a matter of waterproofing it. That would be pretty cool to see!
What is the size of it?
This is 4ft by 7ft
can you provide the link of the hinge
Yeah here you go www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=124631
Nice video. Thank you for sharing it. You have my support. :):):)
Thank you!
Bro this is a sick idea,
Jeep...check
Roof Rack...check
I’m 2/3 of the way there
On it, stay tuned for updates!
when it's all finished please let us know the finished weight of the entire tent.

Hey Evan sweet build!
Do you have the materials listed for this build
Just wondering how many
2by4 and 1by4 are needed?
Thanks!
