How sweet is this?

My wife loved it, except for the price. "Pretty pricey" does not do those numbers justice. A similarly-sized tent costs $50 at Coscto. Multiplying that amount by 30 puts it well into "extravagantly pricey" territory, I would say.

Still, it is so cool! The want-it-bad factor is pretty high. :_drool:

It seems though, that this would have to take the place of my roof basket. And when I go camping, its nice to carry my spare and extra gas up top.

I have not read into these yet, but they look like they just fold up on top. I wonder if the "floor" of the tent has some sort of cushion on it? Nothing is worse that a deflating air matress or that oak tree root in your kidney all night long.

It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to fab up something close to that - or if you don't want to go that route you could probly fab up mounts to the roof rails for it and bypass the roof rack altogether by bolting onto those mounts. [Nice run-on sentence, huh.]

Yeah apparently they have a foam padded floor. I checked out the site some more last night and I really like it, they do fold up into a box like deal on top. Don’t know how long it would take me to afford one, they are from about 1,500 and up.

THIS would be better. Retains your roof top storage, can be left at camp or taken along on the trail, and keeps all that extra weight off the roof improving your center of gravity (a good thing when wheeling if you like to keep the rubber on the ground)...
