Big House 6
$479.96
Description

  The Big House 6 is a big deal for car campers and the perfect sized shelter for housing the whole family under one “roof.” Big enough for rainy afternoon card games under cover or for road trippin’ mountain bikers who prefer to stand up in their shelter while changing.

  The optional Accessory Vestibule (sold separately) can convert this roomy tent from a simple structure to a cavernous escape from the sun or an unexpected change in weather. Shelter Mode lets you pitch it as a covered shelter without the tent body, and the backpack-style carry bag makes lugging gear from the car to the campsite more convenient than ever.

  Footprint and vestibule sold separately. Shelter Mode requires footprint.
