I think the crank is the way to go too. Being on a SOA FJ60 it would be much easier to crank it up and down from a single point versus trying to get it to collapse down on the pop up version.

My favorite too. I love the fact it is aluminum, just wish it had a manual crank.
So do you all think the $1500 is a worth the chance over a $2499 similar product?
Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and passed on the tent for now. I plan to do more research and look for a crank style later down the road.
I ordered one from a company that imported them from China. The tent was okay, it came in stained from the manufacturing process. The cover also looked okay after a year but the straps used to cinch down where done after 3 months.
I would second Tepui and or CVT. I have a CVT and love it. I want to upgrade to a sky view tent but the cost is what holding me back at the moment.

This is my second year using a rtt and awning which I bought from a chinese company called Sundaycampers. The quality of materials used is very good and overall very similar to my friend's more expensive Gordigear tent.
I bought this as a sample for a possible future bigger commercial order (still paid a sample charge over wholesale price) and the sales man asked if I wanted any logos on it and also said they mainly work for the australian market. I chose what colours I wanted it (tent body, tent flysheet, awning & covers), what brand zippers to be used and what accessories to be included.
Only one problem with it till now (hopefully only one ever heh); part of the strap that keeps the cover tight to the tent (when closed) has "stringed" along its width, but can still take tension when pulled/buckled.
Below are a couple photos of my set-up. Also got an annex room which i never used yet and a wind breaker/extension to go with the awning. Overall very happy with it!

I’m interested in what they say. I’d be willing to give them a shot on one of their tents and a standard awning.

Got an email back from Sunday Campers. Pretty good prices for the stuff I want not including shipping. @Booch you have any more pics of your Sunday Campers tent and maybe a good review of it? At the prices I’m looking at it might make sense to do a bulk order if guys wanna hop on that train with me.

I know. That’s why it would make more sense to do a bulk order.
