    Look for something that's twisted in your suspension lines (etc.) that could be causing this. Is the tilt only present when you are in the hammock, or does you weight increase it?

    Everything looks fine. Its crooked looking at it off it and feels leaning crooked laying in it.. Its like the line on one side is shorter than the other side... perplexed

    If the head end or foot end triangle dogbone suspension lines are not very close to the same length the RR will list to the long side. The head end is more sensitive to this than the foot end. You can also have the head list in one direction and the foot end in the other. Try putting a few twists in the low side dogbone before larksheading them onto the apex triangle. Or if you can splice the amsteel you can shorten the long side.

    Thanks WV. I twisted the right side of the line about a dozen times or so and it seemed to do the trick!

    I bought the new model RR in Dreamtex a couple of months ago and the same problem, leaning to the right when I'm laying centered. My older model doesn't do it. Must be a production fault. Has anyone else have the same problem.

    it is the price you pay for leaving the other RR alone and abandoned

    You can try switching the dogbones and see if it tilts to the other side. If it does it is most likely the lengths of the dogbones are not equal. I got my RR back in 2013 and it tilted to one side slightly (don't remember which side). One side was 1/2" longer than the other. I made my own and shortened them and I can tell you that it difficult to splice two dogbones exactly the same length.

    The trick is to build them simutaneously, that is to make the spliced loops on only one end of each first. Then, do the making for the other ends. That way you don't have to estimate for the shortening that occurs in the bury as you would if you are trying to duplicate an existing dogbone. Hard to get that estimate exactly right.

    If you're mass producing them, then all the marks can be made up front, assuming all the initial pieces are exactly the same length and you put the marks in exactly the same places. That, of course, would apply to making just a single pair but building them simutaneously is more fool-resistant.
