Why???

I think it's cool. Much better than people taking motorhomes into a campsite and pretending they are camping

One of my supervisor is actually looking into it. He love going outdoor and he was looking at that cost something north of $10k.

Yea, but is it $2,000 cool. I think that's the real question.

How much $ do people pay for golf clubs? I agree that the price is gross. But if people pay that much, the inflation will never end.

The tent is only worth $500 tops but because it's attached to a vehicle it had to go through bumper and emissions certification. $$$

Oh, and probably the liability coverage when someone rolls out of the sack half pissed from the night before and forgets they are 6 ft off the ground. That covers most of the cost over the rest of it I suppose.

Well they could have made it bigger, more weatherproof with kevlar or some other tough outdoorsy material, have stronger frames, have some kind of insulation and an awning and it should EASILY cost $500 dollars. I mean what were these tent makers thinking gouging us on these costs.....

That 2 grand would probably get you 8 nights at the ramada inn.

lol right. I was just thinking about how many "normal tents" I could buy with 2k. Not to mention I wouldn't want to have to pack up camp just to take the vehicle somewhere.

Exactly... and oh, by the way... I am pretty sure you lose the ability to put bikes, canoes, windsurfers, etc on top of your car with these too.

More money gets vaporized by trendy outdoorsy "gear" than by car mods.

Don't worry the price will come down after they make more and more until people all have them and then they will be sold at near cost. But it is effcient/cheaper than buying a whole RV and does keep you off the dirt which has it's advantages. Right now that's easily worth the $2k for some... The rest can camp the old fashioned way for now (or buy an actual RV). Besides as long as people are scared of getting sick from other people they will take their chances outdoors (bringing up costs) just like boating.

And if you see a momma bear with cubs, walk up to her and ask her if she's vaxxed. I'm sure it will go over well
