There is a thread about them on Exped Portal. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/53442-Tepui-Tent-RTT

 

Personally have not seen one in person so no opinion on them.

I've checked these out and they seem to be a great product at a good price point. Evan, the owner is a stand up guy, knolegable, and I'm sure would stand behind his product. You are dealing with a local company and with an owner who lives locally (Santa Cruz) so if you ever have any problems or questions you have someone to turn to. Also the tents can be picked up in SC so no shipping which can add a lot to the cost of a rtt. The tents are on display at J&S surplus on hwy 1 in Moss Landing. When I last spoke to Evan he said Bass Pro Shops was going to start carrying the tapui tents. They are also going to start building adventure trailers.
They were rather unfairly treated on expedition portal forum but I think if you read the posts Evan answers all the questions posted. I have seen their product and climbed into it and I think it is top quality. It would be my first choise if I was looking for a rtt, plus I really like the fact that they are local.
