Anyone pick this up for the $280?

I have the costco blue one, used it the last couple years and its been fine for a couple guys, looking to go a touch bigger for more room, and this price I like more than some of the other ones.

Worth it?

Seems like a great deal - made by clam so it should be decent quality. Probably real nice and roomy for 3 adults, a heater and your gear .......

I agree anything clam built is usually quality stuff!

i also run the costco hut. great for two but thats it.

Costco has the 6-man burgandy Kingfisher for $219. Tried mine out for the first time today, preformed like a champ. No complaints!

I was looking at cabelas smaller one for $229.00
must have a foot print of 10x10 inside very nice.
only draw back is the box was around 6 ft long and heavy

Pretty sure that's just online, it was in the store last time I was there I'm pretty sure

I'll check out Costco today, if nothing else costcos return policy is worth it hands down.

I had the kingfisher 3 for two season, at the end of the second the hub pulled through the fabric. I returned in 1.5 years later for a full refund, no questions asked.

That Cabelas tent had really poor reviews on the american site, stiching camse loose. Go with one of clams models, I have a 1550 and its awsome, easy to setup/takedown and made really well. (Priced at $350) It's a little more money butt the quality I think is better.

Anyone have the Clam bigfoot from Ctire? 8x8 foot Id like to go a bit bigger than my subzero 4 man but its too windy for the double shacks a lot of the time around here. I like both my lines in the tent and that would let me spread out more.. plus my Christmas bonus should just cover the price.
