Easy On, Easy Off: Ned’s Experience Mounting a Roofnest Falcon on his LC100 | Vanultra RTT Quick Release Mounts

Posted: 25 September 2024 by Vanultra

At Vanultra, we believe that the right roof top tent (RTT) mounts can completely change the way you experience overlanding. And that’s exactly what happened for Ned, an avid adventurer with a 100 Series Land Cruiser. With our quick release RTT mounts, Ned not only solved his frustrating garage clearance issues but also discovered a faster, easier, and more secure way to enjoy his adventures.

Meet Ned and His Mexico Adventure Rig

When it comes to escaping the cold Colorado winters, Ned knows how to do it right—by heading down to Mexico for beach camping, fishing, and endless sunny days. But there’s one thing that’s always been a challenge for him: fitting his fully loaded Land Cruiser into a low garage when the rooftop tent is installed.

"I love having a roof tent," Ned told us, "but my low garage door in Mexico made things tricky." His previous setup with an Alucab RTT was so bulky, he literally had to deflate his tires just to squeeze into the garage. That’s when Ned found Vanultra’s quick release RTT mounts, paired with a Roofnest Falcon 3 tent—and it changed everything.

From Tire Deflation to Effortless Access

Ned’s old setup was not only bulky but also a hassle to remove and reinstall. He used to spend hours fiddling with clunky brackets, stacking multiple socket adapters just to get the job done. But with Vanultra’s quick release mounts, all of those problems disappeared.

"I never thought of the mount as a feature—until now," Ned explained. "The fact that it’s easy to remove and reinstall the tent is a game-changer." What used to take him hours now takes minutes, giving him more time to enjoy the beaches of Mexico and less time battling with hardware.

The best part? No more deflating tires. The low profile of the Roofnest Falcon 3, combined with our mounts, keeps his Land Cruiser sleek and garage-ready. "The tent is absolutely as low as it can be," Ned said, smiling at the fact that he no longer has to deal with tire pressure just to park his rig.

Ned’s Favorite Feature: Quick and Hassle-Free

One of the things Ned loves most about Vanultra’s quick release mounts is the sheer ease of use. "You can drop it on, suck it back to the mount, and Bob’s your uncle!" he joked, but he wasn’t kidding about how much easier it’s made his life.

With one mount fixed in place, Ned never has to realign or readjust his tent when he takes it off and puts it back on. Every time, the tent lines up perfectly with the fixed mounts, saving him tons of time and frustration.

"I used to spend 2 hours fiddling with my old mount just to get it off," Ned recalls. "With Vanultra’s quick release system, it’s a breeze." For anyone who’s spent an afternoon wrestling with stubborn RTT brackets, you know just how valuable that time savings can be.

The Security Ned Needed for Mexico’s Rough Terrain

While ease of use is critical, Ned also needed a mount that could handle the rough terrain of Mexico. After all, when you’re exploring off-the-beaten-path beaches, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your tent is secure.

With Vanultra’s quick release mounts, Ned no longer has those concerns. "The mount feels really secure. It’s on rubber with tension, which means it’s stable and I don’t have to worry about it coming loose," he said confidently.

That added security gives Ned the peace of mind to focus on what he loves most: adventuring, camping, and exploring—without worrying about his RTT setup.
