mystery straps inside RTT

[smokejumper6]

I have a Mombassa Adventure II (RTT9010) and I have these mystery straps inside the tent and I'm not sure what to do with them. They are attached to the bows on each side and each ends with a loop and a piece of velcro (hook). There is an piece of velcro (loop) on the mattress, that it MAY go to, but I still can't figure it how (or why).

Any ideas?

believe it or not these are for securing the bedding you use. Simple, lay the sheets and blanket out, strap it down and waaala.

I was told they are used to help pull yourself into the tent.

lol i guess it depends on how old you are!

Potato Launcher nailed it.. they're for assisting yourself going up and down the ladder.

I use to lay them between the top of the mattress and below the bedding....the appreciated something to hold on to, besides the side of the tent (and I used them a time or two at 3 in the morning, after the 32nd piss call after 14 Yuenglings)..

I've been wondering this also, thanks titanpat.

That's what I use them for.

used to help you hold on as you are climbing in/out of the tent.

Thanks everyone for the input!

I'll first spin the mattress around to match up the hook and loop sides of the Velcro.

Since it's really a Trailer Top Tent (TTT), I don't expect the and I will be using them using them to climb up and inside...but after a few 7&7s, I might have to.

Thanks again!!

I convinced my wife they were to strap her down so she didn't roll off the top of the truck!

Wow. I guess that is well beyond just using the bottle up in the tent!

I thought they were to hold the mattress in place. Thats all I have ever used mine for at least.

maybe if I carried a 20L Scepter can up there it would've been ok...

I had several the other night when we were out camping. I was surprised it only took one trip down the steps myself.

A Midwest beverage company, Faygo, used to make 3 liter bottles of soda (pop as they say around here) and they had the wide mouth. I wish tehy still sold them!
