Default Fish inn estate 4-5 person from Costco

Does anyone have one of these? What size are they? I couldn't find any dimensions in the specifications on the Costco website.
How good are they? Are they worth $400?
Thanks

A friend of mine bought one. Its a copy of the Clam Bigfoot. The big difference
is that the Estate has removable windows. Good price also. You cant beat Costco warranty.

I had a smaller orange one,and the black rubber coating on the inside that likes to crack up and peal off.
returned it and bought 2 more after that and they all did it .
I think the fault is when fishing in really cold weather and heater going hard the inside gets coated with frost. So when you fold it up at the end of the day it breaks up.

Just bought their newest one they have on the market.
Its black on the out side and inside.
Does not seem to be coated with black rubber on the inside.....fingers crossed .

I just went on their web site,looks like you were asking about their insulated tent that they just introduced . Looks like a good tent. Your right has no dimensions on their site . Should be the same size as their un-insulated tent.

Can’t go wrong with the Costco return policy. If for any reason return it, keep your receipt to show how much you paid.

Expect the Costco tents to be roughly the same dimensions as similar tents. Should be able to stand up in anything 3 man or bigger for a pop up. The 2 man versions are the ones built for dwarfs.

My first tent was a costco make. Material isn't as good as the higher end models but not a huge difference. Make sure you dry them out between uses, if you leave them wet the grommets will start pulling through the material. Same goes for any tent though.
