23Zero. 9 days of camping all but one with rain. No leaks. Wind at 40+ in Colorado and it’s a brick shithouse. New model horizon 3 is what we use. https://preview.redd.it/xidqql7uskvf1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc37462df169d504a85ad6a652b37256ebb61d87

A ground tent is better until its not. I have both a gazelle t4 tent and a rtt and prefer the rtt even with the annoyance of climbing in the middle of the night. Get a hard shell and put it on a trailer, will be the best decision you make. My rig is ready to go on a moment’s notice because everything is already packed and ready to go. I have my rtt on a morris mule trailer i picked up for 3k. I like the 23zero products, have one of their armadillo tents and their 270 awning which is a huge upgrade as well over a standard canopy. Recommend getting the annex with your rtt, for standing room. Ive been in my rtt in downpours and heavy winds and had no concerns. No issues with molding either if you care for your tent properly. Open it up and let it dry out asap if you have to pack up wet. This advice applies to all tents, not just a rtt (contrary to an earlier post).
I’ve got a 23zero hard top tent that pretty much shrugs off everything while staying dry and warm, except condensation which is inevitable. Easy to set up too, just two latches and four little awning poles.
Thanks man! I took the tepui off and got a 23zero hard top to make take down faster but there is nothing wrong with the tepui. Probably 10 years old now lots of life, very well built tent
We’ve had RTT for about 6 years now. We’re on our third. I love sleeping higher above the ground, and our 2 full grown GSD climb the ladder to sleep with us. (Yeah, it’s more dog than people. 😂) Consider getting a small trailer to put your RTT on. This gives you a base camp and extra storage. It’s perfect for a camp kitchen. Clam shell is definitely easier than other styles. Ours is not and takes about 20 minutes to pack up. Less if we don’t raise the tent platform. Make sure to get a good mattress. Our 23Zero has an amazing mattress, way beyond our first two.
Just got a 23zero. And absolutely love it.
