That's 2 years of rent for a lot of folks, to put it in perspective. For a tent.

Makes more sense that the founders worked at Earthroamer previously.
Check it out at Expo West. Probably get an Expo deal.

Part of a mortgage goes to pay down principal which goes into your asset (the property). Also, you get a discount on income taxes most likely.
This tent doesn't get either of those benefits and instantly drops in value the moment you purchase it (even before it is used).
Take the house!

So just like Earthroamer, their goal was to make the most expensive thing possible in their class.

Too many gizmos to break and hinged panels to leak in the rain.

Still better cred than glamping in a $500K motorhome. It would be great on top of a $60K JLU Rubicon pulled behind a $500K motorhome though.
