Scam or real? iKamper for 800 bucks!

Is this legit? I'm wanting to buy it and see what happens for 800 bucks!

Looks like its out of China (look at the shipping page). I would definitely beware, though it could be legit.

More likely a knockoff instead of a scam to steal your money.

Most likely its a production over run of the older model or the factory in China has started selling them direct.

Surprise, most all roof top tents are made in China.

Guy on Expedition Portal recently reported a similar situation, super low price, too good to be true for a Tepui RTT on Ebay. Seller faked a signed receipt slip, got jerked around for a bit, before Ebay refunded him.

Could also be a knock off/copy hence the low price.

These are manufactured in Korea, not China. I have met and dealt with the owner directly. He would never be able to sell these to anyone at that price. If they are shipping from China, they are most likely a knock off.

For me Chase and most CC companies would protect you if their fraud team finds it to be a true scam, you might have to get a new card after reporting it.

It's certainly not an out of the realm price for what a RTT is. It's a tent with a box. It's not really a difficult item to manufacture. You're probably paying more for shipping costs in the retail price of most of them than you are for the item.

This appears to the the same one for $880 direct from China. 2019 4x4 Offroad Camping 4 Person Family Hard Shell Car Roof Top Tent - Buy Hard Shell Roof Top Tent,Roof Top Tent,Roof Top Tent For Sale Product on Alibaba.com

I order a a few things here and there from alibaba vendors or aliexpress. Usually industrial electronic components. I've never had a bad experience. It usually takes a while to be delivered.

Buy something small/cheap from them and see how it turns out...

Who knows. It is a gamble.

They are “selling” other RTT’s too for the same price:
Evasion Evolution Vehicle Rooftop Tent – LilyShops

Feldon Shelter Crow’s Nest Extended Rooftop Tent – LilyShops

Buying a Chinese knock off isn't the worst. Usually made in the same factory or something like that without the branding. I did see the following tidbit though that was hilarious.

Shipping fee:
$4,200.07 to United States by Express EMS

One hell of a shipment.

If it was a reasonable shipping fee, I'd consider it over a discounted Yakima soft tent or something similar.

I mean costco sells some now.

Paired with their return policy, if I were in the market for one, I'd seriously consider buying it from Costco.
