    They are a copy of the Howling Moon / ARB tent but the fabric is quite different.
    Looking at the photos, is seems just the very top of it is the rip-stop canvas, or it's a much thinner grade than the originals. I think the rest is just polyester, but that being said they are very cheap for a RTT. Would also be a bit lighter.
    We have a Howling Moon tent and we love it.

    Ask the Seller some questions about the fabric and more pics, if they don't respond, steer clear, Regards Frank.

    my mate came around with one yesterday seems to pretty well made the fabric on the sides looks strong the top fly is a lighter polyester material it acts a shade for the main tent roof .roomy inside, the only thing on the downside i saw was some of the stiching points would need waxing as they looked like needle was oversized for the thread in a few areas

    The seller obviously has a good reputation.

    I would want clarification on the "ladder extension" & Skirt before committing to buy.

    looks the same as the other couple chinese rooftops available on ebay but they're going down in price... i bought mine just over a year ago for 900 delivered.

    Quite a good tent for the dollars. Mattress is too thin so will need to find an alternative for that... i'm thinking a self inflating one for underneath. Good ventilation and didn't leak when it bucketed down which was a plus

    what sort of zippers are on the one you got...?


    the matresses are nothing more than just foam rubber.......
    you can get a piece cut to size at clarke rubber....or you can simply buy a
    piece of that egg crate foam rubber and place it under the one you already have......
