Maiden Voyage Starts Tomorrow at 8:00 am!

We live in Kingsport, TN and we’re heading to Maine!

We have a 2017 (green) Rpod 180.

Our son lives in Kennebunkport and we hope to get there this Friday for a weekend visit.  Then on to Bar Harbor next Monday.

We will have five days to enjoy before we head back to Kennebunkport for the holiday weekend.  Then West somewhere... just follow the blue sky for a few days.  Then head home around the 12th of October.

We would welcome advice on campgrounds in NE Maine and also SW to wherever.

Also if anyone knows a safe rest/camp spot on I-81 N in PA for tomorrow night...

We will be taking our new Clam with us.  If anyone along the way would like to meet up and trade an Rdome or Pahaque Awning or Side Tent that will fit our 180 just let us know.

Aol address is: Chrism43

Thanks to all who reply.  We are super excited.

DreamerTN, you raise a good point about personal shipping. I guess that's one more reason to love Amazon Prime.

And a swap would require two shipments. If you just got your Clam and it is unused, can you simply return it? 

Mcote, not sure who you were asking about the rdome, but if it was me, I don't think mine would be a fit for your 177. As I understand it, the 179's and 180's use a bit larger size.

Hi Chris,

No worries, I was able to locate it on Amazon. Thanks for sharing, we are still looking for the perfect set up...this will help.

Thanks again!

Hi Brew,

I’m not real smart and I can’t get a picture to load on here.  If you do a google search for “Clam Quickset Escape” you will find several links that have pictures, details and prices.

It seems that personal shipping is crazy expensive.  The box is 72” x 8” x 8” and it weighs 34 pounds.  It cost around $80- to ship it.  If you have a business account with FedEx Ground you may pay half that much, but I don’t have one.

I hope that helps with your questions?

EzUp makes one called the cube.
There is also a Gazelle that is real similar. They are all different sizes. The Clam and Gazelle can go up in under 100 seconds (they claim less than a minute). The EZ-up Cube is more involved and seems more expensive for what you get. You can get the Gazelle through the Home Depot.

I would like to know what a clam is, and this person does not get the Rdome- I may like it if it fits a 177.

Thanks!

Yes true. The Traveller I have is only 72X72 inches.. I find it perfect for 2 people. And the rain shields are definitely needed, otherwise water comes in through the screens because the sides bulge out and splashes everything.

But probably the important question for anyone who wants to make the trade is what size the op actually has.

Actually the escape is 140 inches across, the pavillion is 154 inches across. The pavillion is the largest so far, with built in rain flies on all sides. Just to be accurate.
