came across this video today and it touches on all the points why I decided a RTT will never be my thing, way too expensive, way too cumbersome, exposed high to the wind and ties your rig down in the spot, so no exploring.
YMMV, would love to hear from those that have a RTT and love it, my guess it's people that go all day, stop and camp, then wrap up and go on for a week? Even then I'd not want one, except maybe on a small trailer that I can leave as base camp and explore or drive to that perfect sunrise/sunset spot that's too steep or rocky to set up camp.
Thoughtful analysis from somebody that's doing a lot of camping and has used his tent quite a bit, hope you find it interesting and maybe it'll answer some questions you might have. They look all safari cool, but to me they seem a big PITA.
ETA: just to make clear, not dissing these, for some they are great, but for many the cool factor might be a trap, watch the video for the cons (and pros) this guy mentions, it might answer some questions you had, before shelling out crazy money for a tent.
