We just bought one of those Clam 1660's from Amazon. 300 bucks. Should be delivered today.

That is 10 lbs less than the first up!

1st ? - Why 6 pegs? There are only 5 sides that seem to tie down.
2nd ? - How easy is it to take down and fold up?
3rd ? - Can the wind panels be attached to the bottom and leave the top 1/2 as screen?

Good questions Roy, they never showed taking it down and packing. Maybe Frank will give us a heads up after he gets his. Hint, hint

Supposed to be here today. We'll see. Windy out too, trying to fashion some oak pieces for my cabinet holder-openers. Hmm, glass 'em together? Screw 'em? Gorilla glue?

Just ordered a Six Pack 1660 from L & M for $249 and wind panels for $29.99. Free shipping on both orders. Can't wait to get them!

I watched a good video of set up and take down on the L & M website. Take down ran about 45 seconds once stakes are removed. Not sure if wind panels need to come off before storing.....maybe instructions will come with them telling me.

They are a neat idea. I would have to commit surgery to it, needs a 2nd door and be 7' tall to butt up against my ParkLiner

Hi Frank,

Now that you've owned it for a bit, would you post and let us know what you think of it? I've read where a few have not been happy with it and think it's stitching isn't sufficient or that there are some problems with them being shipped inside out....am interested in your findings.

Thanks! -V

This photo is my trailer with my rope & pole awning. It takes me all of 5 minutes to set it up by myself. It packs small, and I love it. I installed a white awning rail using butyl tape and rivets.
Pam,

Curious about the awning rail...you said you used rivets? Did the rivet go thru both hulls? Or.....does your unit NOT have a double hull? Thanks!

I got mine within days but it actually was inside out. Called the company and they shipped out a new one same day. Also arranged for UPS to come and pick up defective one. Got the new one today but haven't opened it up yet.

We got ours, used it and love it. Spent 5 days in the Adirondacks July 4th weekend protected from skeeters, black flies and no seeums! Very easy to set up and tear down. Stakes from the inside, and in heavy winds that blew lots of other folks stuff over, ours didn't budge.

Mine works nice enough for sun shade, but want something more robust for rain protection.... sadly mine usually collapses from heavy rain. Over the 4th of july, my friends 10x10 ez up style blew over and broke...I kept their top when they were going to toss it. I'm thinking about making a pattern out of it and this winter make a cover out of a vintage style sunbrella canvas. Add a piece of sunbrella to go over the top of the ParkLiner like Hazel's one held in place with bungies or straps and be able to add a screen wall or sides but be able to get it snugged up close to my ParkLiner.

I'm looking into installing a roller awning on my SD17 like motorhomes use. Not really worried about weight but need to find the arms that will clear the belly band. Really like to be able to unroll and close it up quickly.

ParkLiner is putting these on as an option I guess. Take a gander, would probably work for you...

Really Deryk? We had torrential downpours late afternoon and evening July 3, right after we had set up camp. No problems with the Clam. Then we had major winds one night, blew over our neighbors screen tent, lots of limbs down etc. Clam never moved.



Plus I like the Gander Mtn. canopy thing, that also survived weird weather with no problems.

Frank
