Roof Rack, Tent, Awning, and Wind Fairing setup on my Cybertruck

[carsonag01]

In this 2-minute video, I give an overview of my build:

• Roof rack
• Rooftop tent
• 270º awning
• Wind deflector
• Additonal tent fairing
• Weatherstripping

This is the result of many hours of research and troubleshooting, and I'm extremely happy with the result.

Enjoy!

How's the efficiency?

Looks great! I have the same rack. What is the RTT model you chose? What are its sleeping area dimensions?

Not much of a change in efficiency. I don't have any specific scientific numbers, but I'm guessing a loss of ~40 Wh/mi. mostly due to the weight (e.g., an additional 180 lbs total for rack, wind deflectors, awning, and tent).

The RTT I chose is the Inspired Overland Carbonlite. I'm 6'1" and I barely fit. I chose this over the Aeroblade due to a thicker hybrid (air + foam) mattress.

I actually wanted the Urander Cybercamp Pano, but it wouldn't have arrived in time for the big trip to the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce.

Nice, I have almost an identical set up, a different 270 degree awning and tent. I'm experiencing wind noise from the set up and have thought about getting the Mars AG wind deflector. Seems like it didn't reduce it enough for you and that you needed the additional fairing to make it go away. Do you know if the wind noise is more pronounce when the tent is up close to the fairing?

I didn't test it without the Victory 4x4 fairing and the tent moved back. I only tested it with the two setups pictured below.

I believe that most of the wind noise was happening from wind going under the RTT:

The Victory 4x4 wind/tent fairing + the Mars Wind Deflector was the magic bullet that took literally all wind noise away. There's no place for the wind to go other than up and over the truck/tent!

Really like your setup and looking at something similar. Did you have the mars tent in the running up?
