Na much to expensive, you can get a small fiberglass one man observatory for nearly that price.

Wouldn't be hard to build, I was going to tackle one some time ago, I know of a company that will bend aluminium tubes and can weld the fabric, the only thing I didn't do is cost it.

what a steep price for a glorified tent!!! for that amount of money a pre fabbed trailer could be made, with stablising arms like that of a van, but then why bother?
