I went to numerous web sites,and none of them actually listed any prices, but from several of the threads I found, looks like you can own one between $800 - $1000.
I'll probably mount one on a trail trailer (yet to be built) rather than roof top of my 40, but would like to have it where it could also mount on fiber glass topper of my F350 and use it I haul the ATV's for a weekend of trail riding.
Thanks for you comments.

ive had my Eezi Awn roof tent for over 10 years. I brought it on the plane with me from south africa while my wife and i were visiting her family. Ive camped in it in baja for weeks on end, been camping in the sierras (tahoe) in the snow (woke up with 6" of snow on the tent), back in the deserts in wind storms, and pretty much everything else in between.
The best part about it is its durabality and being off the ground, and when the weather goes to shitola, usually everyone around in ground tents packs up and leaves while we in the roof tents just climb in and enjoy nature at its best.
In dec 2005, my buddy and i were camped in baja about half way down on the pacific side during a big swell, and the wind blew so hard off shore that ground tents with peoples stuff in it were literally being blown away. about 15 of the 20 people that were camped left and we just climbed in the eezi awn, waited a day for the wind to die down, and were treated to some of the best surf we have ever had and it was just us and a couple others. Thats when we knew we would never camp again without a roof tent.
AFter that trip, he bought one for his wife and himself and has never looked back.
Go for it - u wont be disappointed.
