Re: Camping Labs awning, chairs

Thanks Cassidy.
No, once it is on for the season, it stays.
Since I am in an apartment, it would be to hard to take it on and off.
I will take it off in September and store it in my place though.

Once I move later and get a garage, I will get one of these to store it.
Harken Ceiling Lift

If the rig was lower it would be easy for two to lift it via the center Yakima crossbars, and carry it.
But with it up high on the rack, it will take two standing on stands I think.

My goal down the road is to mount it to a Chaser type of trailer.
All that will come when I move sometime.

Can not wait to test all of it out this coming weekend.
I will be up at Greenwater FS road 73 somewhere along Huckleberry Creek.

Re: Camping Labs awning, chairs

Sounds like there are some strenth issues with the chairs and they are no longer available until resolved!

Re: Camping Labs awning, chairs

Hi everyone,

since this came up first on this forum I guess we'll post here first.

We had a report from our northwest dealer of a couple of chairs failing so decided to run some more tests here in Miami.

It turns out that, even though, the chairs support the rated 300 pounds load with no problem they can fail easily if the weight is placed on the wrong place.

If the user seats leaning forward placing most of the load towards the front of the seat or on the front of the armrests the aluminum tubes forming the front legs will bend and crack where the rivet is causing the chair the fail.

I think it was lucky for us to find this out before a whole lot of chairs where sold, however some of them are out there and unfortunately some of these where sold at events to buyers we have no way to contact.
We will post an announcement on our webpage tomorrow and will post on various forums but these might not be enough so if you know anyone that have our chairs please have them contact us at fernando@campinglab.com

All the best,

Fernando

Re: Camping Labs awning, chairs

Well, we finally got our Camping Labs RTT mounted tonight. No fault to Camping Labs, but man was it a *****! I'd like to know what ARB was thinking when they designed the touring rack and how anything but the hand of a 5 year old child would fit in there to tighten the bolts down! It probably took us twice as long as it should have just because of this!

Pics tomorrow, I'm going to bed! WHEW!

Re: Camping Labs awning, chairs

Not to hijack the thread, but when I seen Camping Labs, I thought you meant the dog. I just got back from a 3 day camping trip with my Lab and it was good fun for all.
I am glad to see this roof top tent, and it could very well be an option in the future.
Nice build on your FJ Corey! Good job!
