Roof Top Tent (RTT) mounted to OEM roof rack

@t3lcfe . . . I am blown away by the job you did. If I wasn’t 68, I would want one of those. But now, with my luck, I would get up to pee in the night and end up with a broken hip after falling out of it.. 🤣
Exactly what i was thinking at 67 get up at twice a night to drain one - and after a few glasses of wine = double trouble.
 
Precisely!

In your case, you need a 6” dia. drain pipe from RTT to ground 😆.
We have diesel heater with flexible hose to blow warm air into RTT during winter camping . Same idea for your “personal drain” 😆 Joke…don’t seriously do it 😜

I'm sure I'd end up soaking wet:)
 
After RTT, I decided to add the storage box for utility/recover gear on the side molle panel. I always go off-road and off-grid camping with wife and 2 sons so we carry a lot of stuffs. Organized storages are very essential to us.
I use side molle panels for storage box, Rotopax (fuel and gas)…
Side idea: you can build/add diesel heater into this box ;) I had 1 but built in different shape box…who knows ;) I may covert it into this box…will see 😜

Here are some photos I like to share with our gang as always ;)
Happy LC to ALL
I built a diesel heater in an Apache case in the plan of using a side molle panel to mount it. Similar to what you stated. On another thread, someone had a valid point that the side rail of the OEM rack is soft. You would need to reinforce it, and that kind of made me backtrack on that idea.

From my real-life experience/experiment, the way that molle panel mount with 4 bolts a long side rail, and (2) 4.5” seasucker suction cups (40-100lbs load) on window, it can take those weights easily. I used to mount two 2-gal fuel water or fuel Rotopax on each molle panel.
Bottom line, just do what you are comfortable with
