My tent from unistrengh (sp) was only $1650 total with paying the customs broker.Anders, if you are still checking this I have a few questions for you. What incoterm did you use? Did you have your own freight forwarder or did Unistrength arrange all the shipping stuff for you? Why did you have to pay a customs bond? It is my understanding that is only necessary if the imported amount is >$2500.
You may not , just talk to the guy that calls you and tells you your tent is there. You will figure it out. I seem to remember looking at the paperwork and saying **** it. It’s worth $160 to have someone do it. My tent was great. I saved my American dollars. I would do it again.I am in California and can pick up in the entry port, which I suspect will be Long Beach. I wonder if I actually need a customs broker... So, same questions for you, then... Thanks!
I don’t know wtf a incoterm is.Thank you. What incoterm did you use? Did you have your own freight forwarder or did Unistrength arrange all the shipping stuff for you? How much was the shipping?
Yes I saw some unistrengh on their tooAmazon and ebay have hard shell RTTs for about that price delivered, some a little less. I ordered mine on amazon and it was to my door in a little less than a week. 1200USD total.
mine was a giant queen size fiberglass@Leirbag When I researched CVT and Tapui last year i found specs for both saying they used ABS for the hardshells. CVT had something about a UV resistant coating. Now CVT says nothing and Tapui only mentions the lower portion HyBox . I found that Mostaliner has way better UV resistance than a lot of other materials so I got mine off amazon and put some mostaliner on it. Still cheaper and I have no quality issues with the one i have had. Its has been over 2000 miles, heavy storms and cold. However I don't leave mine up when i am not using it so I probably didn't need the mostaliner anyway since it is stored in my garage when not in use hanging from up above. Be advised that you will need to use adhesive promotor if you are the kind of person who follows the directions.
Yes we drove 7000 miles. The winds in New Mexico were so strong in our face. The tent felt like it was doing 100mph. It wanted to creep open. I would never drive with a hardshelll now without an extra strapi do wish the cams on the straps would have had a plastic or silicone cover. I know i can add those later. @Dwight Marshall that thing is MASSIVE ha. I like the added insurance you strapped over the middle.
yeah I hit some crazy wind in Oklahoma that was strong enough coming upward that i could feel the vehicle pulling up drastically in the front. was quick gusts but still figured there is no need to put the tent through that when i have extra straps which weren't in use anyway.I would never drive with a hardshelll now without an extra strap
I think the CVT St. Helens has a rack based on the Specs stating a cargo capacity of 400lbs when closed and 110 when open. It also looks their Black Max has a rack as well. Doesn't show in pictures but it does talk about it in their spec sheet.I'm on the fence really wanting to get this one:
