  • Can You Access The Back Sliding Window From Inside the Rightline Truck Bed Tent
  • No, the Rightline Truck Bed Tent # RL110750 will not provide access to the inside of the truck using the sliding window from inside the tent. The Rightline Truck Bed Tent # RL110750 does not have an opening on the back side of the tent that allows you to get to the window. I have included a picture of what that backside of the tent looks like and you can see that there would not be access.

  • Is it Okay to Run Vehicle While It Is Connected to Rightline CampRight SUV Tent
  • Due to the close proximity of the exhaust pipe to the tent, I would strongly discourage you from running the vehicle while the tent is installed. Not only could the heat from the exhaust pipe melt the fabric of the tent, but exhaust fumes could very easily enter the tent, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

  • Can an A/C Unit Be Used with Rightline Gear SUV Tent For Camping in Florida
  • As long as you have the power to connect the unit, space for it inside the tent, and the necessary ventilation (if required) to vent the unit's exhaust heat, you could use an A/C unit in the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 for those hot Florida Camping trips. The tent measures 8 feet long x 8 feet wide and is 7 feet 2 inches tall and has a sleeping capacity of 4 adults. A rainfly is included with the tent to help keep you dry even in wet conditions. My favorite feature of the tent...

  • Cross Bars and Roof Top Tent for 2015 Nissan Rogue
  • Yes, you will need cross bars to go with your factory installed rails. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2 installed using the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRSX100. I have linked a product review and installation video below of these being put on 2015 Nissan Rogue. These have a dynamic weight capacity of 165 lbs. and will work with the roof top tents such as the Yakima SkyRise Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars - 3 Person, # Y79XR or # Y07437...

  • How Bug Proof is the Seam Between the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 and the Vehicle
  • Installation is going to play a big part as to how bug proof the seam between the Rightline Gear SUV Tent, # RL110907, and the vehicle are going to be. When setting up the tent you will want to follow the instructions and make sure that all straps are snug. This will keep the vast majority of those pesky bugs away. For a stable platform to make it much easier to tighten those upper sleeve straps, take a look at our HitchMate TireStep, # HE4040.

  • Rhino Rack Static Weight For Rooftop Tent
  • Rhino Rack doesn't provide the static weight capacity of their racks, but the system on your 2016 Kia Soul has a dynamic capacity of 165 lbs which will support the tent # TH8001KSK05 alone. Adding a third bar to your set up will help if you're thinking the system can't hold the weight. I see no reason why your roof rack cannot hold both the tent and your weight especially with the third bar installed. A rule of thumb with rooftop tents is that if the rack can handle 165lbs of dynamic weight...

  • Cargo Carrier Options While Towing Small Camper
  • We don't offer an extension such as what you speak of. Once you get a couple feet rearward of where the hitch and cargo carrier meet, any extension would act like a lever that would apply too much force to the hitch which would cause it to fail. We do offer a solution that might work for you, though. The Stromberg Carlson # CC-255 A-frame mounted cargo tray would attach to the A-frame of your tent trailer. As long as you have about 30 inches of available space between the camper and the...

  • Is Vehicle Battery Drain a Concern When Using Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907
  • Interior vehicle lights are usually very low-power lights that will not draw enough power to drain your battery if left they remained on overnight. Certainly you can simply switch off the lights or remove the bulb from those fixtures (or temporarily remove their fuses) to prevent any concerns about battery drain when using a tent like the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907. Taking the bulbs or fuses out temporarily will also help to reduce the attraction of insects into the car's interior.

  • Will Leaving Rear Hatch of 2019 Subaru Outback Open When Using RL110907 SUV Tent Drain Battery
  • If the dome lights are left on, it will. Just about every vehicle has the provision to turn off the dome lights while doors are open. The passenger compartment dome light above the rearview mirror can be switched to off as can the lamp in the cargo area, according to the owner's manual. If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video featuring a Rightline SUV Tent like the # RL110907 you'd looked at.

  • Converting a Flat Utility Trailer To a Camper
  • Converting your Aluma 6810 from a utility trailer into a camper-style trailer will be possible with a bit of ingenuity. A local salvage yard might have those, a local trailer dealer might be able to point you in the right direction, and though you're more likely to find those things online, the shipping cost would be a factor. If you are looking for a camping set up in the meantime, Rightline Truck Bed Tents such as # RL110710 will not work for you, as they are specifically designed to...

  • How Resistant Are etrailer 6000 Watt Portable Generators to Rainfall
  • It's not recommended that the generators be exposed to a downpour, but it happens all the time and typically doesn't cause much of a problem as long as the generators aren't submerged. A popular solution is to simply lay a piece of scrap plywood over the top of the generator and weight it down with a rock, which will offer enough protection from rain. Another good solution is to go to your local discount store and pick up an inexpensive small tent or portable canopy. We don't carry them,...

  • What is Needed to Install 13,500 Btu Advent Air Conditioner
  • So there's a few things that are going to be needed in order to install the Advent air conditioners, and for a tent trailer I do recommend going with the smaller 13,500 Btu. But the first thing you need to do is ensure you have a roof that is 2-1/2" to 5" thick in order to support the unit; you will also need to open a 14-1/4" long x 14-1/4" wide hole for the unit. Adding this AC will require not only the main AC unit, but also an air distribution box. For that you can use one of the...
