    It can be. But so many unknown factors. Who knows.

    Could be a scam.

    Most tents are made in China. Can buy them much cheaper but... think about this...
    Will they back their product? Is there a warranty? How’s the customer service?

    As for that site, anyone can open a Shopify store...

    Me personally, I’d dish out extra money to buy from a reputable company. I had a no name RTT and customer service was impossible. CVT was my last tent and they were fucking amazing.

    any of this stuff for your truck that you actually use is buy once cry once for Tacomas IMO. Tacomas are quality so don't downgrade when you mod... just my 0.02.

    I had no idea this is a thing! Nice!


    As for the price, it seems possible they type-o'd and it should be 3899, not 399. Thanks for clarifying.


    Back to topic of RTTs...
    https://mikescustomtoys.com/index.p...roducts_id=5&zenid=bk4u9lgtouftbkoij743u6lau3

    I'm likely headed over to Mike's Custom Toys and support a fellow TW member when it's time to buy. $1089 seems more reasonable than $3500+ of some other tents for my use/current needs.

    It is a scam 100%
    1. if it's too good to be true it usually is.
    2. The website appears as legit in some fraud searches only because the domain is brand new.
    3. Pictures on the sites are all the same and show different tents in different pictures.
    4. Broken english in many off the descriptions.
    5. The Skycamp Mini has an official global release date of 03/02/20.
    6. I have been seeing this exact offer pop up on brand new websites every few days; same photos, descriptions, price, etc.
    Dont do it.

    You can buy a lot of different styles of roof top tent cheap off the Chinese sites, most of them are made there anyways, but shipping, customs and all that adds a lot.

    ...also, these are made in S. Korea. Maybe the only reason they're so expensive. Anyone know of a cheaper, flout that fits a short bed?
