RV2 with front and side extension walls, floor saver mat and largest cot.

Those tents are sweet! 30 second setup alone is amazing.
Would be so nice to hop out and just BOOM. You've got a tent...and it ain't stuck to your roof.
Wish they were just a smidge taller than 6'2" so I could stand without bending me neck, but man those are close to perfect.

At 6"1' I can stand in the tall part with room to spare, not a ton but enough. The awning, opened, is more than a few inches above my head opened too. So tons of room all around.
It isn't small or light while packed up though. It'll fit in the 200 with the 2nd row folded (or removed in my case). Slinging it up on the roof for storing might be a good option too if you can handle it. Seems like a good compromise between a RTT and a run-of-the-mill dome tent. Especially considering it's versatility and amazing build quality.

Wow. That tent is definitely long when packed, but I just measured, and it will fit just about exactly with even just the middle armrest down and the second row setbacks still up. It's 6'6", and it's about 6'7" from the hatch to the back of the center console. Would maybe just need to strap it in so it doesn't launch forward like a missile in a front impact...

Got my OzTent Jet tent 25X yesterday. Definitely a family of 4 with little ones, any conditions tent. 1/3 the weight of my RTT, and breaks down just as fast.

Looks similar to the ripstop my RV2 is made of. These OzTents are definitely built to last. Can't wait to give mine a try.

Yeah they are great quality. I had a JV before my RTT. The RV series I think is an amazing 1-3 person tent design. So that RV-2 you got is legit. Probably the best touring tent out there for 1-2 people in my opinion.
I just found myself always having to set up the screen room because of having 4 people. And that got really slow, and tiresome, so the 25x is like a RV-5 with the screen room always attached. We’ll see if it works better.
Either way, yeah, when I had the JV (which uses a RV-4) in a crazy thunderstorm in Wyoming one time, and we slept nice and dry. Heck the fabric is so heavy that you don’t get that fabric flapping noise thing.
The one I got is shipped and sold by Amazon just had it in my wish list it was $536 yesterday and I almost pulled the trigger but got busy. Checked today and it went down again, it said it was the last one in stock. Right after I bought it I checked it again and there are 3 available but the price went back to $577.

Hoping to find a good deal on a suspension kit......it’s THAT time...
yeah I almost forgot. Time to make a list of little things and a few bigger ones
I'm keeping an eye out for wheels and tires, a roof rack, and some recovery points. Hope to find a deal on something for my new to me LX.
Maxtrax in the next week would be nice...

Icon has had 20% off on black Friday through various vendors in the past, if that's what you're looking for.

Yep, that would be nice. Unfortunately, even with 20% discount I still think Icon’s will be a little outside my planned budget / needs. My plan / budget leans more towards the OME Nitrocharger Sport setups.
