Berkeley man dies from leptospirosis after living in rat-infested RV

A man in Berkeley, California, died from leptospirosis contracted in an RV where he and his partner were breeding wild rats. The couple, both in their 70s, had at least 100 rats and did not seek medical care for months. The woman also contracted the disease and was hospitalized. Nearly 200 rats were removed before the RV was towed and destroyed; cleanup is expected to take at least 30 days due to the bacteria's survival in soil.

Hardshell Rooftop Tents Outperform Soft-Shells in Convenience and Durability

An owner of both types argues that hardshell rooftop tents are more convenient and durable than soft-shells. Hardshell models like the Thule Widesky at $3,999 are more aerodynamic, weather-resistant, and often feature crossbars for extra cargo. Soft-shell tents like the Thule Approach 2 S at $2,499 are cheaper and lighter, but their covers are prone to mildew, and setup and packing require more effort.
