Anyone have any opinions on the best cheapest roof top tent?
This will be mounted on a rack over my bed, the lighter the better.

To me, "best" and "cheapest" do not go together.
Hate to burst you bubble but the CVT's, Tepui, CTT's (I even think the ARB's) and what not are all made the same. Some may have a different ladder system and color but for the most part the construction is the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they are all made in the same factory in China.
OP, I think you'd be much better served spending a tad extra for a used Eezi Awn, Hannibal or similar higher end brand. If you are opposed to used at least find one of the lower end RTT's that run YKK zippers......your fingers will thank you in the end.
No bubble bursting here, friend. All 3 are essentially ARB Simpson 3 tents.
There ARE differences between those 3 brands however, as follows:
Tepui - 3 man does not come with Awning extension. Costs around $1000 bucks CDN.
CVT - does come with Awning. Costs around $1100 CDN.
ARB - awning included. Costs about $1300-1400 CDN.
So despite being virtually the same in terms of construction and materials, there are very tangible differences for the end user -- either in function or in the pocketbook.
