How hard is it to remove these tents from the vehicle. The reason I ask is because I do a lot of weekend trips and need something I can put on Friday and take off Sunday. Also are there any racks that can be taken off the same way. I'd like to be able to mount a rtt to both a trailer and the jks roof depending on where I am going. Ex. Most of the time I'd like it to be on the trailer so I can enjoy the top down and nothing above me, but when I go to certain beaches they prohibit trailers so I'd have to have a roof top tent.

Hi Redman, I have the MBRP roof rack and as the ARB RTT fits with 6x bolts/nuts directly on the roof rack rails I don't think it is too bad to take off. It is a little awkward to get to some of the nuts but still. I used my hard top lift to put the tent on top, no problem at all, I am even thinking of leaving the RTT on and remove it with my roof rack and hardtop in one go (if I want to put the soft top on.
Basically you have to loosen 6x nuts to take the RRT off.
To be honest I don't feel too much difference with the MBRP RR, ARB RTT as well as my highlift between my roll bar, doesn't roll too much, ok it's not a racer but I am happy to keep it on and use it as my daily drive. Indeed a trailer would be better but dragging a trailer through the jungle (mud mud and more mud) is a definite no go.
