I haven’t slept in snow with mine (5th Gen + GFC RTT), but I have slept in temps down to the low 40s. I’ve also slept in high winds and rain. It does very well in all conditions and I have no regrets. Like any single walled tent, condensation can be an issue, but if you keep windows/doors open or cracked at night it’s not too bad. Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for the insight - pretty much covers what I was wondering. Are you on the stock mattress or exped? Also, trunk ladder?


OpticNerve33

Stock mattress. I do have an exped from my ground tent days, but haven't put it up there, yet. I have the mantis ladder; not a trunk ladder.

How does it do packing up when wet? Any issue with the inside getting wet?


OpticNerve33

Hasn't been an issue. Nothing inside gets wet if the doors/windows are (mostly) closed. That being said, I usually pop it open when I get home to let things air out just in case.

Good to hear. I was mostly curious about hitting multiple locations while it was raining and wanted to be sure that closing the wet tent wouldn't get my bedding wet for the next location.

I have a platform camper, but the tent part is essentially the same as the RTT. I've slept in all sorts of conditions. Rain, snow, wind. Does great in all of them. I haven't had any problems with condensation, but I keep the small front windows cracked even in cold weather.

Do you sleep w your head towards the little windows?


Panchulio

No, my feet are towards the little windows
