At Vanultra, we’re committed to making your roof top tent (RTT) setup as seamless as possible. Thayer, the owner of a 2020 Ford Ranger, needed a better solution for frequently removing and reinstalling his iKamper tent. As a daily driver used for everything from running errands and family outings to weekend camping trips, Thayer wanted a quick and reliable way to remove the RTT to save on fuel mileage and make it easy to hit the trails.
That’s where Vanultra’s quick release RTT mounts came in, and Thayer found out just how much they simplified his setup.
Thayer’s Daily Driver and Adventure Rig
Thayer’s Ford Ranger pulls double duty—it’s his go-to vehicle for daily commutes, taking the kids to activities, and running errands. But when it’s time to head into the mountains, the Ranger transforms into an off-road adventure rig. Thayer explained, “We like to take the iKamper on and off for each camping trip. It helps with fuel mileage.” The problem? Installing and removing the tent manually every time was time-consuming and often frustrating.
After using the iKamper 2.0 mounts for years, Thayer realized he needed a faster solution. He estimated that he had removed his RTT at least 30 times, often bending screws or stripping bolts in the process. He needed a better option for the frequent removals, and that’s when Vanultra’s quick release RTT mounts became the perfect solution.
Quick, Easy, and Secure
Thayer’s Rhino Rack Vortex crossbars and iKamper RTT were the perfect combination for his outdoor lifestyle, but the traditional mounting system made removing the tent a hassle. With Vanultra’s quick release RTT mounts, the process became fast and effortless.
“I love how robust the Vanultra mounts are,” Thayer shared after the installation. “It’s going to speed up the process and give me more confidence in the hardware.”
The simplicity and strength of Vanultra’s system stood out right away, providing the convenience Thayer had been missing.
Extra Protection with Rubber Pads
One feature that impressed Thayer was the addition of rubber pads on our quick release mounts. Unlike his previous setup, which had metal edges that risked damaging his crossbars, the Vanultra mounts provided better security and protection. “We’ve had it come loose while four-wheel driving, so I’m really excited to see how secure the rubber pads hold the tent in place,” Thayer explained.
A Seamless Setup for Every Adventure
By pairing our quick release mounts with a hoist system in his garage, Thayer now has a streamlined RTT setup. No more struggling with lengthy installs or worrying about scratched bars and loose fittings. Now, whether he’s taking the family camping or commuting around town, his RTT can be removed and reinstalled in minutes.
