How much?! Damn!
Yes, you said it too. But most likely you have not said, "Geez, this is hard to put up."
I decided to start with the newbies and share a REAL-TIME video when I was bound for Canada and put up my RTT for the first time.
No joke, it is what it is...

That does look gigantic and comfy! How many people can sleep in it?

We have a teepee tent and we like it—even though it’s a lot of work to set up. I don’t think setting it up in heavy rain would be any fun—whether it’s a ground tent or a rooftop tent. It was also important to us to have the space available on the roof.
 
They must be nice, they are expensive for what you get, they seem to be popular, I'd never have or use one, something about having to use a ladder to go to bed......beer drinkers should probably think that through and keep a bottle handy.

Enjoy it while you're young enough to climb up there and set it up.

Hey, thanks for the comment. Roam states 4 people; yeah, IDK. But my wife, I and my Jack Russell sleep with plenty of room!
BTW you said a teepee tent? What's that?

Yeah, good point, Im up in years and know within 5 yrs it will not be an option anymore. But for now, it's on all the way back to Canada.

Ok, that sounds great! Apparently, there are several ways to spell it :) I'm referring to a tipi tent.

We have this type but just one number smaller with a surface area of 13 m2.

I once read about a Canadian RTT that had a hole in the floor so you could pee in case a bear was waiting for you down there :D That also comes in handy for the average beer drinker at night :D
