I just don't understand where all the weight and cost comes from. My very dry and very quick to setup backpacking tent only weighs 5lbs and cost $300. Granted my tent isn't designed to be mounted to the top of a truck, but then again it is engineered to only weigh 5lbs.

Can someone enlighten me on what makes these things cost b/w 700 and 1500 bones? And where does the weight come from?
