Hi 6, Our experience has been with the top edge of the Clam's main door opening directly over the galley door hinge line or slightly forward of it, the wind flaps of the Clam main door zipped together into one flap draped over the top of the CI, and the main door screen unzipped and hanging down...

The worst we saw, was in Glacier, where a grizzly was sleeping under a tree about 100yds of the road, and a guy got out of his car, and approached it close enough to throw a rock at it to wake it so he could get a better picture. Unfortunately the bear woke, and ran the other way. I was kind...

Yeah, that fad can't go away soon enough for my taste, but YTMV

As I age, I find less energy to play with and maintain my toys, so yesterday began a start to the downsizing of the inventory. Kinda bittersweet watching the new owner drive off in my little gem, but I couldn't pull the CI with it, so off it goes to Buffalo NY. The buyer flew into MSP yesterday...

Sounds like it's been a good decision already...the rest is just gravy.

Interesting innovative idea. You'll have to give a long term forum report once you've used it for a season, and see if the unused bar keeps enough pressure on it as the roll is used, to keep the remainder from unfurling in the wind.

Kinda wondered if they wouldn't find a way to build nests under there when you first showed us your open sided shelter. They can be pretty ingenious engineers when they see a safe place to build. Since you provided them with such a nice place, I hope they respect your RV's paint work.;)

That's where a good cook book comes in handy.;)

Unfortunately, that can be a problem with all of them, since small fridge/freezers like these don't have a fan to circulate the air within the refrigerated compartment, so instead physics take precedent, and gravity causes the cold dense air to settle to the bottom of the compartment. Not much...

Best to use the 120V outlet if you have electric hookups at your campsites, that allows your battery to get fully charged at camp, and not be constantly draining using the 12 V outlet, and less demand on the charger as well. If you don't have electric hookup and are just using solar to keep the...

Hate to say it, but the folks your dad lent the tent to probably did you a favor! A good excuse to get something more user friendly ;) Gitche Gumee can serve up some real bone chilling winds no matter what time of year it is. A CI would have been a real vaca saver at that point.:eek:

It is, but it sure would be nice if they all enjoyed equal billing, instead of 6 months of winter, 1 of spring, 3 of summer and 2 of fall. Oh well, until that happens I guess we'll just have to keep heading south to equal out the seasons.

Ah yes, the memories come flooding back. The big old Ted Williams Approved cabin tent. The canvas tent bag itself must have weighed about 80lbs, then there was the separate large bag of heavy duty aluminum poles that probably weighed another 40lbs, that had to be assembled, once you figured out...

That's part of the reason I didn't go with LiFePo in the TD. Pretty expensive to have dedicated to that use alone with as much camping as we are normally doing, where as the Sogen can be used for the Dometic as well as back up power for the TD. When not camping it can be back up power for the...

It looks like a well cared for unit at very reasonable price. I would be very surprised if the solar panel pictured above is 400 watts however, so guessing it was either a typo, or there are more panels included. Good luck with your sale!

Glad to hear your safely back in the nest, and starting your recovery. They say "Motion is the lotion", and if your doing stairs and 5 miles a day, that's a lot of lotion, which should make your road to recovery a much shorter one. Take care!

, Hey Kevin, I think the pipe wrap/pool noodle idea was someone else's, but it sounds like a good one. I am using some pipe wrap for the little suction cup and pipe attachment we are using to keep the Clam's front door screens closer to the CI side walls to help keep the bugs out when present...

Once you get them replaced, don't let the new ones spend their entire life in the garage.;)

Good luck.We'll be waiting for your positive report on Wed!

I think you will find that when you are ready to tow, if you crank the stand all the way up so the wheel is firmly held in place so it's fender can't bang against the side of the tongue rail, and the crank is allowed to hang down, it will move freely enough so that if something like road debris...
