  • The Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly - Waterproof - Sleeps 4 # RL110907 is waterproof when installed properly.

  • Can The Yakima EasyRider Trailer Support A Two-Person Tent And/Or A Thule Tent System?
  • The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars.

  • Can the Rear Hatch be Closed with the Rightline CampRight SUV Tent Connected
  • It is possible to have the SUV hatch closed with the Rightline CampRight SUV Tent, # RL110907, connected. However, it would be best to have the tent disconnected from the vehicle if you are going to have the hatch down because it was designed so that you can separate the tent from the vehicle. This is so you can leave the tent and still use the vehicle. Please refer to the instructions I have linked for you. If you were to stop at step 11 and attach the straps elsewhere, it is possible...

  • Can Insulator for Thule Tepui 3 Rooftop Tents be Left Installed
  • When folding up the tent you will want to remove the Insulator for Thule Tepui Autana 3 and Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tents # TH8002X7512. It would be difficult to fully close the tent properly due to the added thickness, like you said. However, it doesn't take long to set up, as it simply clips onto the frame of your tent, so setting it up and taking it down really shouldn't take much time at all, especially once you get the hang of exactly how to set it up.

  • How Does the Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent and Cargo Box Convert From Tent to Cargo Box
  • The Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent and Cargo Box # TH92VY uses a canopy zipper system to convert from a rooftop tent to a cargo box. The tent would be removed using the zipper system and stored out of the box along with the included foam mattress. This would free up the space inside of the box to carry cargo. The Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent and Cargo Box # TH92VY would then have inside storage dimensions of 84" long x 55" wide x 12-3/4" tall.

  • Truck Bed Ladder Rack Tent Option For A 2018 Ford F-150
  • I took a look at the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000964 you mention, and it doesn't look like adding a third bar is going to be an option, however the ladder rack you have right now should have more than enough capacity to support a tent in the bed of your 2018 Ford F-150. A great tent option to work with your setup is the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07436. This tent has a two adult sleeping capacity, a tent weight capacity of 400lbs, and includes...

  • Complete Let's Go Aero ArcHaus Tent
  • I pulled up your order and the part you have is the Clip on Interior Screen Room # SAR031. This does not include the poles and isn't a complete tent. It works with the ArcHaus shelter, part # SAR024, to turn the shelter into a complete tent. the ArcHaus comes with the poles so you need both parts to have a tent. Or use part # SAR024-031 that includes both parts.

  • Quality of Zipper and Tent Stakes of the Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly
  • I haven't used the SUV Tent # RL110907 I personally own a different Rightline Gear tent that is the same material and haven't had any issues with the zippers breaking. They do have a tendency to get stuck on the material that is to keep the rain out but if you're careful it can be avoided. I definitely agree that the stakes are less than to be desired. The ones it comes with are fairly weak metal stakes that you see with a lot of tents. I highly recommend upgrading them with something...

  • Can Rightline Truck Bed Tent for 2019 Toyota Tacoma With 5 Foot Bed Work With Tonneau Cover
  • In order to use the Rightline Truck Bed Tent # RL110765 in your 2019 Toyota Tacoma's 5 foot bed, you will need to remove your tonneau cover. The reason for that is the tent won't be able to securely install while the cover is folded up as there would be interference with your tonneau cover. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you like of the Rightline Truck Bed Tent # RL110765.

  • Do the Seams on the Rightline Gear SUV Tent Need to be Sealed Prior to Use
  • You will not need to seal the seams of the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 because these are tape-sealed when manufactured. The tent floor has taped seams to block moisture too. I think you are really going to like this tent when you are out camping! If you have an auxiliary 12-volt DC accessory outlet, I recommend the Peak Performance # 34280174 mobile power inverter because it provides 1 USB port and 2 AC outlets. I use mine quite often, especially on road trips! Take a look at...

  • Rightline SUV Tent for 2010 Acura RDX
  • Per the installation instructions, a roof rack is not necessary to attach the Rightline Gear SUV tent to your RDX. Longer straps are included that can be used to pass over the top of the vehicle and ultimately attach to the windshield wiper arms. The tent also attaches to the edges of the rear wheel wells, and other straps attach to whatever points are available in the cargo area. I have linked you to the installation instructions for the Rightline SUV Tent.
