Expert Answers about Tents


  • Comparing Rhino Rack Pioneer and Exposed Racks for Rooftop Tent On 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU
  • In regards to using a rooftop mounted tent, there is really no comparison between the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System part # JB0893 and Roof Rack for Jeep JL and JL Unlimited Hardtop part # ER84FR. The reason for this is because there really isn't a good way to attach a rooftop tent to the platform without modifications so the latter will be a much better option for this purpose. In regards to support, most rooftop tents use a ladder which helps with weight...

  • Is Aero Y02-490B Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Better Than Square Y01-130B For Camper Shell
  • The Rhino-Rack is a great choice to add a rack system to your camper, and while the square Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-130B has its uses, when it comes to using the rack for accessories and/or a tent, the best option is definitely the rack with aero-shaped bars: - Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-490B Both racks have the same 220 lb capacity so you aren't losing anything in that regard by going with aero bars, and aero bars are going...

  • Rhino-Rack or Malone Roof Rack for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder With Raised Rails
  • Hands down the better option for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with raised rails is the Rhino-Rack over the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216. The Malone is really a more universal type of fit that is an all-in-one with bars that are smaller in diameter and height than the Rhino-Rack and not at the overall level of quality. If you were looking for a rack that you'd just use occasionally it would be fine, but since you are using things like a rooftop tent and awning, it seems like you're...

  • Comparing The Yakima SkyRise And SkyRise HD Rooftop Tents
  • The Yakima SkyRise # Y79XR has a 210 denier rating whereas the HD # Y07437 has a 600 denier rating, which means that the HD's fabric is about three times as thick. I've camped in the HD in 40 - 80 degree weather and felt that it was enough to accommodate the lows and definitely needed the zippered windows open during the highs. The SkyRise being a bit thinner would give you more airflow to help with the higher temps but would likely require more to stay warm. If you're planning on staying...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2013 Dodge Journey w/ LED Taillights
  • Both companies are highly reputable and make a quality product. Either harness you referenced would work just fine for you, but I would personally choose the Tow Ready # 118536 as it has a higher amperage rating than the Curt model. Tekonsha has also been around longer, for these reasons I would give their product the edge. I have linked you to the installation details for both the Tow Ready and the Curt harness.

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2019 Subaru Ascent Touring
  • The benefits of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76253 that fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent Touring are that it has a concealed crosstube and also that it has a 750 lb tongue weight, which is the highest capacity tongue weight for any hitch that fits your vehicle. That said, the tongue weight will not come into play when you are using your bike rack and it is unlikely to be a factor for a tent trailer. The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13400, which will also fit a Touring model of '19 Ascent, has a...

  • Differences Between Radial and Bias Ply Trailer Tires
  • The difference is that D stands for bias-ply and R stands for radial. The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, or across the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread...

  • What is the Difference Between the Primus IQ Brake Controller and the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
  • There are quite a few differences. The ones you can see easily on the outside are the display and control buttons. The P2, part # 90885, uses a rotary lever on the underside for a manual over ride where as the Primus uses the older slide design that some people have problems with the slide sticking depending on how they grip and operate the slide. The P2 has several buttons on the face for adjusting settings and navigating through the menus. The Primus IQ uses a dial and one button to...
