ANOTHER Clam 6800 question...

[Dan97]

Howdy All...

First off I must say....

KEVIN, GET A DANG COMPUTER!!!!

That being said, he got his 6800 and hates the way the tent attaches to the floor pans. I've seen it and it seems as if it's not very "air tight". Meaning a good stiff breeze would open up the gaps between the strap tie-down points.

Have any of you modified the bottom edge of the tent to seal a bit better to the floor? Velcro, snaps, staples, glue.......

I was thinking of something like an interior storm flap, sewn to the stock tent, so the blue tent stays outside as intended, and the storm flap is somehow attached (non permanent) to the inside of the floor pans.

If nothing else he wants to sell it to me at half price. (Just kidding)

Any help would be appreciated......Dan

I was worried about that myself with the lack of snow, if there is snow just pile it up around the side and that will keep the air out. Evan without the snow it is amazingly air tight.

That is not a problem at all. I thought the same thing, but after all the time I spent in it, I would say it is more air tight than most of the units I have been in. Like the other person said you just pile a little snow around the sides to push the fabric against the plastic. On years like this with little snow you will need to use the ice from the holes you drilled to fill around the sides. Sometimes you will have to drill an extra hole or two by the area that needs cover just to get more slush.
