Generality:

This tent has the same internal dimensions as the RTT-814 but is equipped with a cantilevered part that increases the livability of the external changing room, (ANNEX ROOM) protecting the staircase and the entrance area from bad weather and prying eyes.
It is suitable for two adults.
Its peculiarity lies in the side opening (folding) with a cantilevered part to be positioned manually. This model is more suitable for those who go free camping in isolated places for those who go to special parking areas, since the structure of the tent exceeds the shape of the vehicle.


Materials:

The bottom of the tent is covered with a special breathable honeycomb layer, which prevents the formation of condensation.
The curtain covering is made up of two types of fabrics with the same waterproofing specifications, but with different weight and thermal insulation characteristics. The outermost layer, which is the most exposed to the elements, is made up of 420D Polyester Oxford PU 2000MM W / P, W / R. It is resistant to UV rays and is a very light-looking material that lends itself well to letting the water and humidity that are created at night slip away. In fact, you just need to shake the fabric slightly to remove the drops of moisture that are deposited on it.
The innermost layer is made up of 280G, a cotton blend Polyester called PU 2000MM W / P, W / R. It too has the same technical characteristics of resistance to bad weather and UV rays as the 420D, but has a greater thickness and weight, so it filters the sun's rays much more and increases thermal insulation. Even after being subjected to heavy and continuous rain, the material did not get soaked with water and maintained its degree of impermeability in an excellent way.
If you are not on a long journey and do not need to close the tent immediately after exposure to rain, it is still recommended to dry it in the sun, thus avoiding the formation of mold. If, on the other hand, you need to close the awning immediately after exposure to the elements, you can do so, taking care to shake the fabric, to avoid water stagnation inside.
It is recommended not to expose the curtains and their components to long periods of storage with wet or damp fabrics to avoid the formation of mold.



Internal equipment:

The recycling of air inside the tent is facilitated by four windows protected by mosquito nets and blinds, as well as additional small openings in the upper part of the side walls. In these models, there are two large skylights on the roof of the structure, protected by a plasticized layer and by dense and impenetrable mosquito nets, extremely useful for regulating the brightness during the day and romantically looking at the moon at night.
Inside the tent there are pockets where you can store your items and there is no lack of space for linen.
The frame tubes are covered with fabric, making the internal environment more comfortable.
The mattress has 70% more padding than the side opening models with rigid shell, this guarantees greater comfort for your rest.


External equipment:

The soft cover is attached to the tent frame via zips, in addition to side straps that secure the load and prevent the soft but thick 550g cover material from flapping with the force of the wind while the vehicle is moving.
All soft-cover models are equipped with hooks on the outside to anchor the awning to the ground and allow the correct positioning of the cantilevered part.
The external cover, visible in the photo, allows you to cover the entrance and the staircase by approximately 62 cm, adding privacy and protecting from the elements.
In all soft-cover tents there are external pockets in the entrance area, which allow you to store shoes, protected from bad weather and animals.
The side openings of the awning are held in tension by metal poles in harmonic steel that allow the fabric to maintain the right position.
The telescopic ladder is made of aluminum, it folds inside the curtain and also acts as a supporting pillar for the curtain panel that opens like a book. For this reason it must not be inclined more than 75 ° to favor the correct horizontal position of the steps and not to stress the telescopic structure.


Test:

The tests carried out were particularly aggressive, trying to undermine the static and dynamic components of the structure.
We performed tests in rain and wind and found its waterproofness. Particular attention should be paid to sustained winds, since the structure made up of tubulars and two layers of canvas does not favor the sliding of the air over it, creating a sail effect that should not be underestimated.
We therefore recommend that you carefully choose a location not exposed to the wind and always check the weather conditions before planning your adventures.
