  Yes it is. I got one at the beginning of the season & after setting it up, found two holes and a 4" snag in the fabric on the roof. Clam took care of me & sent me a new unit with some up grades. The tent is the same with exception of the fabric being all blue. The bag is the gray/white fabric the same as the roof on the old one, but much larger in size. This makes it a whole lot easier packing it up. The old bag was a tight fit. Also the cord used wit the anchors is of a higher quality as well and the hubs are also different.

i have the base camp thermal, it is a great shelter due to the material.

after using it for 3 times, the hubs pulled through the fabric, and the grommets broke. clam sent me a grommet kit but ill be sending it back to cabellas on my 90day money back march 20th...

ill be putting a note inside the bag so they can see my recommendations. clam should sew a big washer in between the sheets of fabric where the hubs go through the fabric, so the hubs cant be pulled through as mine did. doing this would make it almost unbreakable in my eyes.

ill try again next winter on a new shelter
