CVT vs Tepui

So before you go all jackass on me and tell me to use the search function. I tried...Plus I'm pretty sure some of you guys are asking these same questions in the Feeler CVT Group Buy.

Okay. So I'm looking at an RTT. Don't know if I want Tepui or CVT. I know CVT is having a group buy. I wanted to hear y'all thoughts on which one is better/suitable for my needs. Im local to Tepui in the summer time and pretty close to CVT during the rest of the year.

Here are my choices. There would only be two people sleeping in the tent. Prices are pretty close to the same at least.

Tepui Ayer: ($895) (No Annex)
Open Dimensions: 48x84x39
Sleeping Footprint: 48x84

Tepui Kukenam: ($1200) (No Annex)
Open Dimensions: 56x96x50
Sleeping Footprint: 56x96

CVT Mt. Bailey: ($995) (Annex Included)
Open Dimensions: 48x96x45
Sleeping Footprint: 48x96

CVT Mt. Bachelor: ($1195) (Annex Included)
Open Dimensions: 56x96x50
Sleeping Footprint: 56x96

They are basically the same thing, I know. Just wanted to hear which y'all have/prefer.

 

The Mt. Bailey could be $895. Awaiting word from CVT.

 

I saw that as well. Ill update if they reply back to you

 

I just purchased the Mt Shasta and while I can't speak to Tepui, CVT customer service was amazing. One of the best companies I've had the pleasure dealing with. While I am the customer, they actually made sure I got exactly what I wanted and made sure to show me a few pictures so I could decide accordingly. I will always recommend CVT because of this.

I'll update this as soon as I get my tent too so that I can speak to the usability side of things.

Not sure why this is doing it. I have a call in to our web guy again.

 

@Cascadia Tents is the bomb. I love my CVT Mt. Cayley. You won't be disappointed with them.

 

We do appreciate you doing the research.
Ayer:
1. Our fabric is heavier than the ayer
2. Interior frame is bigger also.
3. Annex included
Kukenum: Looks like it only comes in camo?
Same as above

Also, don't know if Tepui does the same, they can answer you. But CVT has a trade in deal if you want to upgrade tents down the line. Maybe getting myself one of their summit series for christmas.

 

It is fixed now. Thank you!

 

@Cascadia Tents when will summit series be available on your website? I need to grab an annex and an awning from you guys in the meantime.

 

Once they land at port. Which we are hoping by the end of next week.

 

Awesome. let me know how much an annex for the mt. cayley runs and I'll pay up immediately. The girl and I are going to Stagecoach in April and we'll want some changing space.

 

Yeah I noticed both of those things when someone posted on here a comparison. Do you guys have one of those weatherhoods like Tepui does?

 

Get the stargazer. I regret not getting it

 

That would be good for the summer just not necessarily good for the winter? Im assuming you can zip it up and close it though

 

You can close it. It just has a window on the rain fly too so you can leave the fly on and look through.

 

Their website now says the Mt. Bachelor was $1295. Could have sworn it was $1195 ? @Cascadia Tents

 

It was awhile ago. We upped the price this year.
