Can we double check the mattress sizes? They seem a bit wanker.

I'm in Florida and am very interested.
I am very interested in tent, annex, mattress, and anti-condensation mat. I need a good estimate on how much the final configuration is going to be. I don't know if I can commit yet and the price will help. What is your deadline to join in? By the Oct. 1st pay date?
Dumb question but do these come with the ladder? I've never owned one.

Very tempting.... 180lbs?
I was waiting for my next post to be final pricing but unfortunately I am still waiting on the brokers to tell me all the import costs. Very soon though.
To recap:
From the initial interest it was decided on a larger tent, that could hold 3-4 people. Hence we are going with the CVT Mt. Ranier in comparison. At this point, if we get 10 people I will start collecting funds. More people will jump on just by the nature of "this is happening" and I will place the order on October 1st. It's about a 4 month process, maybe less. So you will get your tents before March.
[MENTION=107460]Magnetic4R[/MENTION]- 180lbs is the estimated shipping weight. Apparently it's around 150-160lbs total though. Remember, once you setup the tent the ladder is support a good portion of the total weight.
[MENTION=126331]Eric0321[/MENTION] - Yes ladder is included. Along with everything you need to be a happy camper: annex, anti-condensation mat, thick mattress.

OK FOLKS! Final pricing is in....except for shipping to your commercial address (details below).
First off, I've been thinking and it is minimal price to upgrade from 280G to 320G fabric, so I went ahead and included that.
Shipping/Import costs came out a little higher than anticipated but I am very happy with the company I am going with. In total import costs are roughly 28% the total costs of the tents themselves!
So here it is:
10 Tents - $1000ea (+local shipping)
15 Tents - $950ea (+local shipping)
20 Tents - $900ea (+local shipping)
PM me to place your Pre-Order.
For those that are "in" I will happily share the math and all the numbers to come up with the costs. I think we started off this GB thinking we would be going with the #2 (Shasta) size, didn't know about the platic mat, and 320G fabric upgrade and I was estimating around $800...well now that we've decided BIGGER and BETTER our prices went up a bit. How did it come out to $1000 each? I have no idea...ironic. I didn't get my quotes for the #2 tents but they should be $830-$875/tent. If you are interested in size #2 instead, still PM me, I have a backup list if we don't get enough interest for #4.
Shipping to your local commercial address: I'm waiting on the warehouse to give me estimates to Portland, Denver, Atlanta, Boston for estimate/reference. I've already contacted a different company, Fastenal, and they quoted me $185 from Long Beach, CA (warehouse) to Atlanta. $300 for two tents. So for me, I'm sitting here thinking $1175 for a $1950++ tent....Not bad...
Lastly, I have found out that October-December is shipping busytime. So we won't be able to extend the pre-order all the way out to October 1st. I am going to take the orders until September 21st. I need $100 down to put your name on the list so everyone knows you are serious. On September 23nd I will collect everyone's monies based on the amount of tents (10,15,20). Payment via PayPal only!
If we somehow don't get 10 tents because of back-outs I will be disappointed and refund everyone's money. So there is absolutely no reason to hold off and wait for better discount. Either you want a tent or you don't (what's $50 out of $1000 anyway?).

And how many yes', and maybes, do we currently have?

I need to run this setup to mount this tent to factory roof bars. My concern is that the MT Rainer sized tent will be too large as the factory bars only run 2/3 the length of the roof.Absolutely no issue mounting to the "factory rail"..... NOT "factory crossbars" tho.
Couldn't find anywhere someone mounting a tent this size to factory bars, I did find a you tube video of one on a older jeep cherokee, covered the entire roof, so I'm thinking probably won't work..
I think the ONLY tent that will work with "direct mounting to the factory roof rail" is the -2 (smallest) one. Even the -3 is probably too big, and your tail gate may have trouble opening too. -4 will DEFINITELY not work, 100%. To use a -4 (largest tent), you will need a full length roof rack - Gobi, Frontrunner, Ez-awn K9, etc...

I have a buddy with a 4th gen that did this and his is a 3/4-man tent from CVT.
Can they be picked up in Cali, or do they have to be shipped?
You betcha, you can pickup from Long Beach, CA.
