DIY Roof top tent Build Part 2!

Here is the second part of the budget RTT build. Its coming along nicely and all that needs to be done is the canvas sewing! Part 3 should pretty much be the finished product. Bear with me on the sewing, I probably wont show much of it since I am a complete novice.

    Nice looking build! Nice to see what a plywood roof looks like instead of my cloroplast one. I like the inner lip you added to the inside of the bottom box which the canvas is attached to. If you add the bungee it will pull the fabric in when you close the tent.

    If you mounted the side clasps at an angle so they pulled the top towards the hinge it would offset the force created by the gas shocks and not warp the hinge.

    I wonder how red cedar studs would work on this project. Would probably lighten it up significantly. We just screened in our patio with red cedar studs. I didn’t realize how much lighter cedar is

    It would probably work well! Cedar is also more weather resistant so that is also a plus. Thanks for watching!

    Nice! My goals for this build was to keep cost down as well as keep it as thin as i could. Weight wasnt a huge factor since I already knew wood would weigh a bit more than aluminum. The next time i do this it will definitely be made of aluminum.

    Lol, just going to say it! Weird watching this again reflecting on years ago! Not even close to being the same time and when people work with products and fast drying material! Not even the same as another persons application! Some things arn't even worth the depth when you remember just watching videos to appreate the work in hopes to learn somthing! Funny
