For the record I have been using RTT's for about 15 years and "humidity from breathing" has never been a issue.

I always had 2 people in there with me. Condensation mats are a deeply discussed item on expo portal.
Not denying being a knuckle dragger, I am from Kemper County.

@pmccraney, If welding a nut on fails, soak with Kroil, drill hole and see if you can get it out with an ez out and some heat. I don't know what diameter the broken bolt is but I have ez outs up to 1/2".
It's reverse thread so EZ outs are out.
Spiral ez outs are a no go but my preferred square ones will work either way.
PMC,
I can weld it for you. Can you get it to my house?

Kroil is so badass.
@dnp Some other cold weather tips for staying warm:
- Use Buddy heater to preheat your environment, even if you don't leave it on all night. Unzip your bags so the heat reaches inner fabrics.
- Change your clothes before going to bed. Use quality synthetic, light- to mid-weight base layer garments to sleep in and a fresh pair of wool based socks. Nylon based socks hold moisture (moisture is the enemy in cold weather). Cotton just doesn't hold heat at all.
- Wear a light weight synthetic stocking cap or use a small blanket to pull over your head if you don't like to zip yourself up like a mummy.
- Throw a couple of pocket warmers into your bag too.
Eno when cold: Heat some rocks in the campfire and move them under the hammock before you crash. Raise or lower the hammock to desired heat. They'll put out heat most of the night. Also, put a fleece blanket between sleeping bag and the hammock.
This is what Nolen has to warm up has ENO:
ENO HotSpot Hammock Sleeping Pad Wings - REI.com
You could supplement with this and be fine:
ENO Ember 2 Hammock Underquilt - REI.com
They even make a special overquilt too:
ENO Spark Topquilt Blanket - REI.com
However, by the time you pay for and assemble all these accoutrements (including a rain fly if not under a canopy) and a bug nest (if applicable), it would be potentially faster and more comfortable to just pitch a tent or sleep in your car.

Just went all Ninja on the possible Friday night rain camping.
No doubt whatsoever.
I'm Eno ninja just because I sleep so well in it.
If I had more people going I'd take my fully pimp trailer with RTT but with it just being me I'm going Eno.
Can u have foxwing out and rear deck lid open?
OK now that's cool...
Worked that way on my 80.
Yes.

I have had a few guys bail on awning purchase......so if anyone has an interest I got an updated shipping quote and we are now sub $800 with 6 buyers. I think I have 3 to 4 firm.
I would be all over it, but I need a roof rack first. Sort of like buying a saddle without a horse. However, if that price is "shipped" and you get really pinched, then I might do it and hold it inventory.
By the way, thanks to all for trailer wisdom. It was a battle but we got it done. High heat and then cut a slit in the extruded portion of the bolt (which u can see in the below pic) and then backed it out with vice grips on flat head screwdriver (which you can also see on table). Threads of the bushing totally in tact
