At 145 lbs,I would have a hard time lifting it into the van

That's what I thought but I can get it into my pickup and or onto my trailer quite easily fully loaded. I just pull it up by the tow bar by hand.

I just saw a rapala two man flip at Cabelas today in Barrie.
$549.00 I believe.
Looks alright,, a split bench inside.
Decent fishing space & only weighs 80 lbs. (according to the box)

My one man recon flip weighs in at 40lbs,,, which is great IMO.

3 man pop up is still much lighter and compact

On sale for 299 get it while it lasts(in stock in Barrie):

I have the one man, also got on sale for $299 so the two man is a great price. I'm very happy with mine.

And its the warmest hut ive ever been in that wasn't hard sides. My buddy has the cabin, and I wouldn't want to drag it by hand either. S.
