I think someone’s also already mentioned, but I think having those doors and screens unzip from the top down would be better, that way you can manage ventilation., and privacy also I was wondering how does that bottom part drain if it rains? how does it drain? It seems to be like a little pool area that would fill up with water, interesting concept with the zipper, great video as always
The door orientation seems to be a sticking point for some people, it also means the fabric is up and out of the way when you have the doors open. As for the drainage, Inspired Overland have placed drain holes all around to mitigate this. ~ Ben
I like it, I would change a few things though. First, make it unzip all the way around and have both ends go up straight. Put a pole in all 4 corners and make it 5 feet tall so a person can stand up inside it. I don't like having to kneel around in a tent. I would eliminate the gas shocks, just use the poles to extend it up like my ARB awning. Then extend the roof cover enough to go over the zipper all the way around to keep the zipper clean and more weather proof.
Hi guys, do you think that you could install this onto an arb base rack? I watched the install video and noticed that the brackets looked ideal for a bar rack but maybe not something like a base rack.
I'm not familiar with the Base Rack, I can;t see why you wouldn't be able to install it on one though. The existing brackets will accommodate a slat up to 9 cm wide, if the Base Rack slats are wider than this you may need to customise some brackets. ~ Ben
All doors should zip down from the top and the mesh should be on the outside to allow venting with the canvas door inside. Why to RRT companies get this wrong?

Good feedback, we'll take this on board, thanks. ~ Ben

We;ll be sure to have a conversation about this next time we see them. ~ Ben
