That's a great idea! Thanks!

Thanks! It's much nicer to use the tailgate now!

Thanks bro! I've already started thinking of ways to change it and make it better lol

Depending on the height your ladder extends to, im sure you could kick the ladder out further to accommodate him, seeing as my ladder isnt fully extended here. This might require a bigger tarp but you wouldn't know unless you test it to see. Or you could utilize a bigger tote or chest than I do in the video, if he's capable of making a small initial jump... it would reduce the incline further.

Based on the dimensions on their site this is the large model. I camp in the same Temps as well and even in the snow. This tent is well worth the money, very durable, stands the test of strong winds well and perfect for a relatively tall guy like me.. Being able to stand upright inside is nice lol I will say that I camp with my other half and our 2 large sized dogs in the 10x10 and it's doable so long as the dogs don't want to be up running around. I dont think I would buy the bigger one if I did it again because this one is adequate. Unless I was using it for extended camps, like a week or more, the extra room isn't necessary for me.

I got this in the states, but its my understanding that they're an Australian company. I really enjoy this tent.

We like it too! Thanks for watching!

Depending on the size of the dog I would think it'd work well! For our big dogs I don't think anything less than a ratchet strap would work lol

Agreed! Personally I was just interested in not carrying a bunch of extra things. I like multi use tools and the tarp serves this purpose as well as an obvious tarp for shade because I don't have a fancy awning yet. The legs are still supporting weight at this angle, just not enough to hold an adult human. Thank you for the extra ideas!

First of all, Thank you for the kind words! Secondly, I agree! We battle with weight too in this midsized truck and two dogs so I know exactly what you mean. That would be a neat idea if you can figure out the logistics of it... Hopefully this works out well for you too, just remember to keep a hold of the tarp so their weight doesn't pull it thru the rungs when they walk up it!

Thats actually a really good idea, I hadn't thought of that!! The grommets I was referring to are the brass pieces sometimes in the corners of a tarp that are typically used for tie down points with a rope. But I like that snap idea I might have to give that a go. Thank you for watching and thank you for the idea!! 🤝

I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad that I could help. I dont think you'll regret it. I absolutely love my RTT and even more so now that it's easy to get my pups up in it. Keep me updated on what you choose. There's so many options out there! Lol sometimes you gotta kill em with kindness i suppose, im not sure why people choose to be mean when unprovoked.. but it makes no difference to me as long as I can help other people.

No problem! Thanks for watching!

Oh yeah! Definitely an eye opener when that happens. My shepherd mix is a squirmy one so I didn't wanna end up on my back because of him! Glad it helped!!

Try to make it a bit more sturdy if possible, it seems like he's not sure it'll hold him. My doggos were used to me carrying them into the tent so they already knew that's where they needed to be. So when I wrapped the ladder just a few "come on" encouragement taps up the ladder to persuade them was all it took. A ramp to the truck is the next thing I need, since I've got the lift my one dog can't make it up lol

Grant lake in California.

Thank you for checking out the video Billy with no content on his clearly NOT fake account. The only person that would be this worked up about me saving folks some money and not hurting their back is someone that thinks theyre losing money because of it. Like those people that make the overpriced ramp...So thanks for checking out my video guys! 😊🤙hope you have a wonderful day!

No you can't risk an explosion, but getting the whole pipe red hot will reduce the life of your stove jack tremendously. I havemt had any issues with ambient heat messing with the tent walls but if you're concerned about it you could try moving the stove away from the wall more or using a heat reflector between the stove and wall to reflect heat away from the wall. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I too was originally gonna get the smitty, but 23 zero piqued my fancy. Honestly I was worried about the same thing, but I put 2 adults and two large dogs (70 & 95lbs) up with us at night and haven't seen any issues. Although it's worth mentioning that my "cross bars" are a diy rack made from 1"steel square tubing. Not sure if that effects it a whole bunch compared to commercially available racks, but I will say I'm not very gentle on gear and it's held up well for me. Even in severe wind.

@@TheStoicWolfe thanks

It depends. It's definitely doable, but you sacrifice the "living space" an rv has because it's a tent obviously. But it's totally comfortable enough to do so, we have an annex as well which is like a room that attaches off the front and encapsulates the ladder. We use it as a changing room or a place to leave our dogs resting most days but it's big enough to put an extra cot down there for a guest!

Thats awesome! I'm glad this could help! 🙌

It is something you can control, but it actually takes effort to get the pipes glowing red. Which is what I did to damage the stove jack. I was attempting to see how hot i can make the inside of the tent... the answer is, uncomfortably hot hahaha.. What I've learned is, there's another part that you can use to minimize the destruction of the stove jack, it's like a sleeve that sits over the stove pipe and insulates the stove jack from the hot pipes...But its a cheap enough part that I'm not too worried about having to buy a new stove jack every so often.

This is the 23zero walkabout 62. I have an older video on my channel showing it in more detail... And yes that's a winter insulation liner that we've been trying out and it works well!

@@TheStoicWolfe man I’ve got the smittybilt xl tent. Wonder if other companies product would work inside.

@@thomasf4915 tbh I'm not sure. The fitment is pretty tight. Not alot of room for error. But if the dimensions of your tent match this one it might be worth a try? If nothing else you can return it or modify the hanging points to fit your application. Having that air buffer does help in the winter though, we had camped in 18 degrees f that night and on new years we were in 16 degrees with it. It's still chilly inside but alot less cold than it otherwise would be.

Surprisingly, no. It's incredibly stable. I've even cooked on the top of it with pans without hesitation. As long as the ground under your tent is relatively flat you won't have an issue.

Thats awesome! 😁 I'm glad it worked for you too! I was considering the same product but just couldn't justify it, I knew there had to be another way.

Yes
