That is the idea.....all bedding stays inside. The owner of CampTeq does not even mess with a ladder just climbs up the tire carrier. It takes longer to open your hood then to get ready for bed with a CampTeq.

Phil, I need to take a trip to Scottsdale when you get this. This has been a wishlist item for me but I could just never really justify the price. I've never had an RTT so I don't know the difference. I've always been in the tent and on the ground. Looking forward to your install and your review.

Web site says "slat bed suppor sans pad". Have you seen pics of the inside? The gallery was short on interior shots. I'm assuming from above no solid floor? How does the dimensions compare to your trailer? Only 81" long, and I'd imagine that includes the really short part. 'course, I'm 6'4" and mildly claustrophobic, so take my concerns with a grain of salt.That is the idea.....all bedding stays inside.

I typically either set up my cot outside, or throw up the 11'x13' mini Taj Mahal tent...

I seen and wheeled personally with the CampTeq. You can use a solid floor, the new floor is said to be lighter and more comfortable. The solid floor works better if you plan to cut the top.
The bed is smaller then my trailer but I welcome the trade off for the ability to take the CampTeq anywhere my 80 can go without concern. The owner is close to your height and has also entertain guess in cold temps and reported all was good.

My Lightway off road trailer and RTT are both spoken for. Thanks for all the interest

I will be using the ladder Eric suggested that is considerably stronger then any RTT ladder I have ever seen.
Having owned and spent time in a couple of RTT the CampTeq is leaps ahead with 10 second set up time because all your bedding stays in place. Dont see myself or anyone else going in and out except to go bed.I have thought of talking with Eric about a side entrance, we will see. But as of now I dont see it as an issue.
I see the CampTeq camper for me as a drive until you drop setup, 30 seconds and you are counting sheep. To close it up, maybe 30 seconds tops. No cover to put on or bedding to remove, just 2 latches on the rear and you are ready to leave.
Lets do a back and side zip for your top, Phil. I'm still thinking if it should be one big continuous opening with still a side screen or two separate zip openings...
Custom is always an option with CAMPTEQ

Thanks for your attention on my needs. Your customer service has been great!
I must be missing something here, but why does this cost more than the high end Maggiolina line ($3.0 -$3. k), assuming one does not want to do the skylight monkey climb...

Mostly because it is made of aluminum by hand in the USA.
This is also fit to the 80 series which probably makes it quieter than the rack mount jobs.
I think it is a phenominal piece. If I camped more I would absolutely purchase this. Then again, I would probably purchase it and camp a lot more.

It's very peaceful to be doing exactly what you want, wherever you want
