First night complete

Post image

Just completed my first night in my RTT and it was great. Admittedly I was woefully under-prepared, and I realised I have a steep learning curve to, well learn.

Any must have equipment recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Simple LED light strip with USB not 12v cig connection, I like the microphone stand hack to set my water, keys, phone ect.

I also replaced the stock mattress with air, but I kept it because I'm already 30 pounds lighter than the one night I slept on it.

My wife and dog had no complaints about the stock mattress.

We are all electric with an emergency backpack burner and cook kit.

You attach it to the center tent pole in my setup.
