Roof top tents on eBay

yeah motherhen,my brother over there in bairnsdale[vic] bought one,him and his young fella use it for weekend trips in the high country. no problems with it so far. cheers sparra.

Yeah,

We looked at importing a pile of them a while ago from China. They are a knock of of some European brand (the name escapes me). The ones we were looking at had a couple of additional rooms that could be zipped on - one covered the ladder, and one enclosed the base of the car. They were a one size fits all kind of arrangement.

If these are the same tents I am thinking of, they are made in the same factory as the camper trailers sold by a rather large company here in Australia......

If you want a roof top tent, these would be fine for most people.

If he's getting $900 for them, I may have to revisit the idea of importing them....lol... We assumed people would pay no more than about $500 to $600 or so.

Cheers,

Chump

Looked at them a couple of months back. Same bloke sells them through the trading post for $750 as well. Same design as the ARB Pilbara which is more than twice the price. Older ARB tents were a much thicker and higher quality material. Now they use a ripstop or facsimile thereof and are sourced from China. These tents are primarily the same. Pretty good value.

When you say a 'heap' of them, I am not sure I believe that. His eBay rating is only 10 and of the two previous available sales in his history (within the last year), he has only sold one.
