The Slipstream - Quick Release Tent Mounts

idea is great! Hardware didn’t fit my extrusions.

The mount idea is great but the hardware choices didn’t fit my extrusions on my tent. So of course I had to modify them by installing regular hex head bolts. They don’t slide well so the mounts bind a lot in the track which means they aren’t that quick to set up. Also if you are installing on a topper getting wrench underneath to tighten things down can be very problematic. I had to mark the location of the fixed mount then prop up the tent over the cross bars so I could get in and tighten the fixed mounts. Over all the initial set up took about 2.5 hrs including swapping out all the bolts so I had something I could use. I wish they had better options for the bolt head type. I think mine is just what they call 20/20 extrusion. We’ll see how easy removal goes today. They did hold the tent great on the trip.

Great product for a quick release solution for your RTT. I haven’t had to remove the RTT since I installed it, but the install was super quick, compared to having to use the saddle brackets. Glad I came across this product and company.

My application for this product is somewhat unique. I have a clamshell-style rooftop tent mounted to a small off-road trailer. Because of my driver-side awning, the tent needs to slide outward to open fully, then return to the center of the trailer for travel. Previously, using standard mounts made this a chore that required tools every time. These quick-release mounts have turned that into a seamless task. While I don’t actually remove the tent from the trailer, the ability to quickly loosen, slide, and re-tighten the mounts by hand is a game changer. They are high-quality, easy to operate, and worked perfectly for my specific setup.
