Bug Man & wife loves the CLAM
Hope this helps my fellow friends..
Bug man is back with a recommendation.
We have used this all over the country.
Have setup on the side of rivers lakes and the ocean.
Great for night time games.
Great for chilly nights.
We were in Corpus Christi and allowed to leave setup for a week on the beach.
This has solved my bug issues.
Run from Flys and mosquitoes.
2 dogs and chairs fit inside
*** sets up and breaks down in minutes ***
Check this out on Amazon
CLAM Corporation 9879 Quick-Set Escape Shelter, 140 x 140-Inch, Brown/Beige https://a.co/d/gr6d9M6

Just do not erect it close enough for the campfire embers that come floating along. Ask me how I know, no, please don't.

I researched them all and the winner is:
The Gazelle G6 Deluxe.
Far better than the Clam or any Coleman and it Includes an awning over the door and wind screens.
A note, due to the length of the storage bag it will require pass through storage. No problem for me since I only have once compartment that is not pass through.

Quit putting words in people’s mouth. I said based on my research Gazelle is the better enclosure.
Buy what ever the heck you want.

Hey camping friends..if you use the 1500w electric heater in the CLAM don't forget a good long extension cord.
I kept forgetting to get one

Scuba,
With a 25.6, where do you store it? Is that what you meant by "shower or ladder"?
Love the storage on our 25.6, but long stuff can be tough... Would like to avoid putting anything in the shower since we probably take more showers than we'd used this tent (or other long items we'd bring).
Just curious-
Thanks,
David

Hey another CLAM lover.
They are excellent quality.
