Love it!
That's better than a chair & blanket fort.

Yep - the grandkids will love it.

It's on our "want" list.
We took the plunge and bought one. Put it up on the driveway the other night in the dark. Very easy. Taking out with us tomorrow on a short camping trip. Trip is to try out the new clam plus new generator. Wahoo! Getting ready for our 10 week trip to the NW
Right on. Enjoy!
Which generator did you get?
We'll have ours at the Oregon Rally. We used it for a week in Yosemite in April and spent about half of our in-camp time in it. No insects or critters got in. Except me of course.....

Which generator did you get?
We bought a Champion 3100. I'll start another post with the trials of our first generator.
Nice AT. 
Definitely let the forum know how it performs & how it handles the a/c.
Have a good trip!
A big thank you to diamonds in another thread for mentioning that they store their screen room inside their 1575 during travel. 
I placed our rugs non-skid side down on the linoleum and facing up for the screen room to rest on. There is no way it is going to budge while in transit.
Also, I have it centered over the axle and on the "lighter" side of the TT (slide-out & fridge are on the other side) -

Travel report - the screen room hasn't budged on the rugs on the floor of the TT and this trip has had us traveling up & over very twisty 7'500' & 8,700' passes so far.
Nice! Same here..... and really like the Clam.
This has been one of our favorite 'add ons'/expenses! We opted for the pavilion with wind panels and have loved it. Thanks to Jeff and others for paving the way. Here is a newer video. Great for bug free/shaded space; dining and can be used for sleeping for 'company'.

It is great to hear that you are as happy with it as we are.
We last used ours 2 weeks ago at a non-camping event and used 3 of the panels to block the sun.
We'll be using it again in just over a week on a camping trip.
By the way, your link just takes me to my empty Gmail inbox (web version, not the Gmail app). Since I don't use my Gmail account for anything other than my phone stuff I only got a parting good wish. 
Would love to have the newer video link.

I still don't see a video link.

just updated with the correct link!
Last summer, we hooked up with the Red Barchetta clan for a fun filled campout. The skeeters, while not overly excessive, were enough for all to be looking for some relief and since I don't do repellant sprays unless absolutely driven insane, when Jeff pulled out his Clam, it was a welcome relief. The shelter was large enough to comfortably seat 5 adults and two dogs and we were able to sip our wine without having to whine about the bugs.
Viv & I have been himmin and hawin about whether to get one of these cool shelters ever since but just haven't pulled the trigger for a couple reasons.......collapsed size and weight being front and center.
This morning I was perusing my emails and happened upon a similarly functioning shelter, albeit smaller. It's much less expensive, lightweight and folds up into a 31" disc. I have a couple "pop-up" tents, one of which Jeff used at the factory tour rally back in 2014 so I am familiar with the concept. I ordered one to see if it will fit the bill and if not, it's easy to return it to the Costco warehouse.....no questions asked.

My apologies to Jeff for hijacking his Clam thread but felt it might be of interest to some. After all, gettin some relief from the bugs is really what this thread is about.....right?
Best wishes! We had one of similar design but smaller. We nicknamed it the DevilTent because it enticed us into the ease that it went up, lightness etc, but when it came time to leave we could never get the thing to fold in to the circle. Finally gave it to a nephew (physics degree) who had mastered the secret. By the way he got it in it's wonderful open state. Hopefully you too will be an origami master (We own a clam and love it)
I finally had a chance to check out the Sportcraft screen room. I had no problem with folding it back up. In fact, it was quite easy once I watched a youtube vid.
That said, it's going back. I didn't care for the zipper as the fabric was tight making it impossible to zip with one hand which is important if you're bringing beers or glasses of wine into the shelter to enjoy. The other thing that makes me want to return it is that the fabric weave is not tight enough to ward off no-see ums.
It's already proving to be an extremely buggy year up here and I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get one of those Clam shelters or risk getting eaten alive.
