Slide Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Anyone have any experience with the Roadrunner 2 tent from The North Face? Seems like it is getting good reviews around the web. Also, could anyone recommend a good radar detector to use for my summer climbing trip around the west? I'm going all the way to bishop and then vegas and would like to drive REALLLLY fast all the way there!

jordop Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I got a TNF roadrunner 2 through a deal, but would not buy it retail. The seams are not sealed and are a bitch to do by hand. The upper pole/canopy deal is awkward. Tent is spacious and relatively light, but the MEC Tarns are a much better deal. (make friends with someone at a TNF dealer -- the deals ALMOST make TNF gear worthwhile). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE]I used to work for the Face and am very familiar with the Roadrunner. It is actually seam-taped (every TNF tent since about 1997 is, unless it's perhaps a factory 2nd). Anyhow, it's great tent at a moderate to high price. Easy pitch, good ventilation. Probably do good for you on your roadtrip!Radar Detectors: 2 words.....BEL 980It will easily pay for itself in one road trip. You can find 'em on the web for under $200 Hope that helps.
