I don't have one yet, but it's on my list to get. I'll bump it up the list if that will help with the CBS (cold butt syndrome) lol

Tepui doesn't do group buys so I wouldn't hold your breath. But there is a discount for forum members.

Do your research into RTT's before you buy. If you are in college and don't have a lot of funds something basic now might be the ticket as you might not need the most tricked out rugged, usb plug in's etc tent on the market. And you will see there are more similarities than differences. Where they are made, fabric thickness, design. Not to mention other tent companies have group buys, maybe you should check with them as well as forums like tacomaworld, fj cruiser forums etc to see if there are any that are active since spring is around the corner. Also check the for sale section. You might be able to find one there. Saving money is saving money.
Don't know if this is available, shipping might be a good deal since it's semi close to Ar - http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/167385-For-sale-in-Georgia-Tepui-Kukenam-RTT-(used-once)
Why don't they? CVT, ARB, Freespirit Recreation etc have all participated in group buys. Does tepui just not need the business?

Check REI. Folks have been able to use their dividend and 20% coupon on tepui there in the past.

Correct me, if I'm wrong - but CVT and Tepui do offer on going discounts to members of certain internet forums including this one.

The reason Tepui doesn't do group buys is because it's important to them to help their dealers be successful. Tepui chooses not to "steal" sales from their dealers through group buys. So they do their best to provide the best product they can to the customer at a great value, and also take care of their partners. It's a win/win for everyone. Tepui is the #1 selling brand because of industry leading quality and customer service and excellent value for the money. Tepui isn't like all the other roof top tent companies.
I am able to offer a 10% discount on Tepui tents here on this forum and a few others, along with flat rate shipping.

I'm pretty sure REI has an "Oversized shipping fee" of $160(even when shipped to store), but if you use your 20% coupon it's still a better deal than anywhere else. Member rewards coupons/dividends will be here in March!!!
Price + shipping for a Anti condensation mat? Ayer size.

REI - Tepui Tent Purchase (FAQS)
Couple faq's about purchasing Tepui products from REI:
+ REI 20% coupon does not work on the RTT. Scout their "garage sale" days, as I've seen a few come up every once and a while..
+ Also, there is not an "oversized shipping" fee for the tent when shipped to the store. I picked up my Ayer from REI, Huntington Beach a few months ago. (I believe if shipped to your home, a fee does apply)
+ Plus, if you are a REI member you receive about $80-85 (+/-) in dividend dollars, depending on which model you purchase (price).
They offer their 1-yr return policy on the RTT, which I found kind of odd. But heck, I suppose you can use if for 11 1/2 months and say you'd like to return it- they'll take it back and probably "garage-sale" it I suppose.
I'd highly recommend purchasing your RTT from REI and shipping to a location near you, as it will be received safely, inspected and allows for a hassle-free return if needed. And, you get $ back, if you are a member.

Multicam would be tits. Especially if it came with a multicam cover too.

I've used to weather hood at ~27 degrees F. There was a significant difference in temperature up in the tent with the weather hood on. I'll probably just keep it on for the remainder of the winter season and remove it once its starts getting warmer. I have to say though, its a bit of a pain to get on if you have you tent on the top of your vehicle.
I'd also recommend getting the anti condensation mat. I'm usually fine with just my sleeping bag but sometimes my gf likes to put a quilt or extra blanket down on the mattress.
