    Care to expand on how? I've enjoyed it quite a bit so far, and I've had CVT and FSR tents in the past to compare to

    Mine was poorly built. The tube for the overhang part was bent out of the box, so I bent it back into place. The stitching for the window is pretty poor and the screens don't open. The tent isn't waterproof (or mine wasn't) in any type of windy rain. The mattress just plain sucked for me and I had back pain every night in there, but I'm also a side sleeper. The tent cover ripped on the first tree branch and it was hard to put on.

    I just wasn't a big fan of it. I would rather have a smittybilt for the price. Maybe they upped their QC control b/c it was nonexistent when I had mine.

    Currently working on a new travel cover, the one in the above pic was made from the bottom of then tent I cut up and it shredded fairly quickly.

    Folded it is 4'x4'x9", open it is roughly 4'x8'x4'.

    It is pretty dead on the size of other tents. I ended up purchasing some rubber coated fabric on eBay for about $35 and am working on sewing it as we speak. If all goes well I'll have a nice cover in a few weeks.

    Maybe you got an early one because mine has none of those problems, except I haven’t camped in rain

    I feel like I saw it for sale on Instagram too

    Maybe! I had it a years back.

    I did post it on my story for an outrageous price and someone wanted to pay it. Too bad the Tundra sold.

    If I could get another Vagabond I’d do it but they’re so backed up. Pretty sure the wait times are 15-18 months now. No bueno
