Thule Offset tent?

OK, not sure what I think about this. I kind of like, but not sure about having that brick hanging off the back of my rig. Definitely not sure I would shell out the $4300 for it. Seems very high, even for "Thule". I was digging around for information on this and found one video showing price tag of $4300.

 
I can see its appeal. I also believe most would use a standard tent for less. My opinion is, their jumping on the RTT bandwagon here for people who think its cool to have one but cant/wont put one on their vehicle. It does have the ease of a RTT set up and (small) wheels so you can unhitch it and drag it to where your going to set it up.
It looks like they used a version of a hitch mounted bike rack to haul it. Buy a clamshell RTT, build an aluminum base, modify a heavy bike carrier and I bet your close to $4K to build it.

Personally I don't see much of a market.

True, something to consider as well is that many buy a RTT to get off the ground for safety and peace of mind. This one you are a foot or so off the ground.
 
Yeah I'm not feeling that, seems very well made, however just not something I think many will run out there and drop that kind of green on.
 
But....Look how happy the people in the video are.
4K is totally worth that happiness.
Personally, I wont own one because I like being a grumpy miser.
 
Not feeling this at all, seems over priced for what it is. It looks bulky on the back the car and would be a burden getting stuff in and out of the car.

While I get what you are saying, if the owner (this is advertisement video of course) that buys this is happy, then cost is earlier to justify. As for me, just don't see it with this tent. Prefer rooftop.
