Please clearly note that the link will take you to Website where the price is showing up as A$240, but inside the shop, they have a clearence tag where the price is stated as A$160. I bought the tent from the Preston, VIC Macpac store. I am note sure when the deal will end.Says Clearence on the shop board, so may be it will run till stocks end.

Here is a screenshot taken from the shop and the purchase receipt, hope you can price-match it other Macpac shops or some other shops that price matches on tent ?

    Darn! That's a lot of tent for that little money!

      No it isn't; it's about standard for "sales" price at Anaconda or Ray's. Btw Anaconda now owns Macpac; I'm pretty certain this is the same tent Anaconda sells (I've got one myself; it does the job I suppose)

        For what it's worth, Super Retail Group (owns BCF) now owns Macpac, not Anaconda.

          Spotlight Group owns Spotight, Anaconda and Mountain Designs.

          They are a competitor to Super Retail Group who own BCF, Supercheap Auto, Rebel and Macpac

    won't even fit 10 hobbits

      You could be right… it's 4.6m x 3m… a tad larger than a standard bedroom. "10 people" laid in like a tetris puzzle… maybe.
      Still, $160 for a faimly size tent isn't bad at all!
      Deal gets a + from me :).

      In tent-speak, a "person" is a standard unit of floor space equivalent to approximately 2m x 0.5m

        Anyone who gets sucked in and buys without seeing a tent erected has cause for recourse under 'not suitable for purpose' consumer laws I'd have thought. It's a nonsense claim.

    • ESEMCE on 22/12/2019 - 18:40

      Standard tent sizing system.
      Halve the number and you're close to something realistic.
      Anyone who has bought a tent before understands this.

      • askvictor on 22/12/2019 - 19:27

        It makes sense for hiking tents where you have 2,3 or sometimes 4 people squished together; but somehow that same system got extrapolated out to base camp tents where it doesn't make sense.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2019 - 20:18

        There is no standard, for the reason that you've outlined. Different uses require different standards. Personally I think no standard is preferable to a nonsense one designed to deceive the gullible. For some reason this 10 person tent claim reminds me of the 28 "seat" Mini

    • daydream on 28/12/2019 - 19:32

      Maybe uses the same calculations for occupancy as the lift/elevator companies! ;-)

    You'd certainly want to be on at least a first name basis with your 9 other occupants.

  • foggy10 on 22/12/2019 - 17:24

    What’s the setup like for this tent?

  • paradoxez on 22/12/2019 - 17:41

    Might need bed bunks deal to fit 10 ppl in there

    With tents U want to get away with as small as possible, especially in colder months

    Had mine for 5y and it's still pretty good, seen a dozen trips.

    Some bloke fell on it and bent a pole so maybe it's time to replace at this price..

  • harrymantiem54 on 22/12/2019 - 19:37

    Real nice, had another brand but I just bought this one +1

    • Owl on 22/12/2019 - 20:44

      was there much stock? which store? hoping to get out tomorrow morning to get one

  • Empiresearth on 22/12/2019 - 23:00

    I bought it from Preston two weeks ago, I think 10 people will fit in easily,

    • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2019 - 10:44

      You can fit 28 people in a Mini if you're desperate too. Comfortably they hold ~5.

      The recommended capacity of this tent is 6. About right imo. Personally I wouldn't want 5 adults in my 4x3m canvas tourer.

      I am tent-atively considering whether or not I should buy this.

      • Wallyt99 on 23/12/2019 - 11:18

        However I decided that I am con-tent with my current 4 person.

  • dammit on 23/12/2019 - 08:26

    is it hard to set up? I go camping with kids (I'm the only adult tho) and they aren't much help with setting up and the video says you need 2 people to set up…

    Looks a little time consuming with the varying size poles and what not but I imagine once you've done it a few times you should get quicker at it…?

    Edit: saw this comment re this tent on a camping forum, makes me a bit concerned "Helped sis in law put one of these up, what a night mare, 3 experienced tent camping blokes and an hour to finally put the thousand plus poles together with the right corner pieces etc. Never again"

    • goingDHfast on 23/12/2019 - 08:56

      Helped sis in law put one of these up, what a night mare, 3 experienced tent camping blokes and an hour to finally put the thousand plus poles together with the right corner pieces etc. Never again"

      Maybe that's why it's cheap then?

    • jwh on 23/12/2019 - 10:01

      Thanks for saving me the trouble!

  • dammit on 23/12/2019 - 09:23

    ended up buying one… next real option is probably a coleman instant up 10 for ~500 bucks.

    Camperdown NSW store would not do it for $160 unfortunately. They claimed it was below cost price (despite not looking). The best price they would do is -20% off the $240 so I got it for $192.

    $32 more than the OP.

    About 5 left in stock.

  • bhunter101 on 23/12/2019 - 12:56

    Got one thanks op.

    • dammit on 23/12/2019 - 13:20

      Was it $160?

        It was $240 in store but they price matched it. This is in macpac at waurn ponds in Geelong. I called earlier to make sure they had stock and they would price match. Sounded like they've had a few left.
        Tried bcf but they would only price match online price and not store price.
        Ops receipt definitely helped me at macpac however. So kudos babebunny.

        • dammit on 23/12/2019 - 13:41

          nice, my store should've price matched…pretty disappointed they wouldn't.

  • HYF168 on 23/12/2019 - 13:06

    Took the last one from Nunawading,vic. Cheers

  • BluebirdV on 23/12/2019 - 18:05

    Correct me if I'm wrong but this looks like a cheaply made tent.

    • bhunter101 on 23/12/2019 - 18:12

      For this price definitely a bargain.

  • imranauz on 23/12/2019 - 18:08

    Got one from waurn ponds in Geelong. They had 10 in stock near the front counter. They knew the Preston price and were happy to match it.
