Dometic - TRT 140 AIR

We have this tent and I find it to be spacious. We fit with two adults and two 70lbs dogs. We slept comfortably with the dogs by our feet. I’m 5”9 and my partner is 5”6.

We've tested a few RTT's to varying results - finding the iKamper to be excellent quality but just a bit imperfect for us (it was too heavy for my wife to help mount/dismount, and just a bit too awkward on the opening/classing in my opinion), when I came across the Dometic inflatable TRT 140 Air. I was surprised to have not heard about it, as I stay plugged in to overlanding content closely. In fact, I only found it when doing deeper research on the Aircruiser by Cinch inflatable tent. After watching a couple dozen (mostly European) videos on the TRT 140 I decided it fit our needs best. At $2,500 it was cheaper than the Aircruiser ($2,999), came from a more reputable manufacturer, significantly lighter (106lbs vs 124lbs), has a larger sleeping area and a smaller folder footprint (due to folding 3 ways vs 2). **Most importantly, I found it on sale on Amazon for $1,299**. The Amazon price, which I thought might be a mistake price sealed the deal for me because 1. it offered free delivery and free returns and 2. I could purchase a 2 year warranty with no deductible for $99. We received the tent and were very impressed with the materials and build-quality. Assembly was simple and the actual process of opening (and inflating) and closing the tent was surprisingly easier than the iKamper. We just took it out for the first camping trip (after multiple tests in the driveway) and cannot rate this tent more highly. It was easy to use, comfortable, fits our truck bed perfectly, high-quality, and honestly fun to inflate and disinflate. A few additional thoughts/comments: \- Given it's more narrow than an iKamper or the Aircruiser when folded, you can still access approx 40% of your truck bed \- I was concerned about an inflatable tent for durability purposes but the low price coupled with the warranty was good enough to give it a shot. I then rad a good review on ExpeditionPortal in which they talk about how inflatable tents are fairly new in the US but have been commonplace in Europe for quite a while, and how in the reviewers opinion they might actually be more durable given hardware concerns in heavy wind. \- We replaced the original sleeping pad (foam, maybe 1.5") with a Kingcamp (knockoff Exped) 6" inflatable mattress. The original pad is below average in my opinion, but the one we used instead was fantastic. \- I purchased a used set of Frontrunner quick connect mounts for the tent but found it easier to just install and until it with the provided fastening system for now. Overall, for the price, quality, novelty, ease, comfortability, and fit. I do not think you can find a better RTT for the R1T. Happy to answer any questions.

Soooo...the sale was to good to pass up. With a fork mount on a bed end molle panel, a bike (or multiple) can be transported and the tent can open when bikes are removed, without worrying about a bike tray being in the way for the tent unfolding :) The tent is super comfortable, fast and easy to put up and down, and seems well made! The tent's also really easy to install and remove, no need for it to live on the rack forever. Can also have our kayaks on top of the cab and clear the closed tent. Similarly would need to bring those down before opening the tent, but again no rack interference with the tent stowed. https://preview.redd.it/frr57euiye7f1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e557b3d19ba5df3e8e25206de8899325d750268d

I saw the price and bought the same one. Great tent! The built-in mattress isn't bedroom quality but it's not uncomfortable and I actually prefer it over an inflatable. I can't stand air mattresses personally. I kept dreaming about the AirCruiser but at less than half the price and what seems like very similar quality the Dometic is an absolute steal of a deal. It doesn't have built-in LED lighting, and the air pump it comes with is also not built-in, but those are very small nits to pick on a $1,500 savings.

I love my dometic air tent. Had it in some pretty windy conditions and the best thing was no squeaking like in our fast frame tent. Also super quick and easy to set up and pack down.
