Looks like Rone and Sieg didn't mind the cold.

Wow...did you see Eduardo's pics from DV when they left a few days later than we did? Makes our mid 50's seem downright balmy

the link doesnt work anymore, is your the medium or large?

Mine is the Large Deluxe Carport. It came with the outside corner shock-corded poles for setting up as a horizontal canopy.

just got mine in the mail yesterday, I hope to sneak a little time today to set it up on the 40. i will post a few pics if I still have some light.

Again, thanks for the tip, this will make its way onto my trailer when it is done.

Please do, I wanted mine as much for the 40 as the 100.

Yeah, they were lucky they left when they did. I read somewhere about people getting trapped in Saline Valley.

How would you like to break snow on the Lippencot road??

Back on topic, do you ever rig the Carport off the LC rack?

No...but it'd be easy, quick and being lower than the top of my Maggiolina will allow the side wings to sit closer/parallel to the ground.

My rig is shorter than yours so I'm sure they will reach the ground.

Good darn thing I knew what you were talking about there fella

. I've already gotten dethreaded by the mod for what he thought was suggestive material on another thread...

sseaman · 01-09-08, 07:54 PM

rezarf, did you find a deal on yours, or pay full price?

We had snow today but I tried to set it up in the living room, but ran out of room, I was impressed with the overall size of the awning. I am going to try to use it here on a mid winter trip in the next week or two.

Yep, I got the price that Costco offered, like 69 or so bucks... it was a no brainer for that price. I am planning on using it on the trailer but for now the cruiser will have a nice shade tree affect on those hot Moab days.

woody did some house cleaning so they are all probably a little sensitive.

X2 no where near enough room in the house to set our up.
still a lot of snow on the ground here as well.
ih8winter

But I guess we will need the shade soon enough.

cartercd · 01-09-08, 10:11 PM

Thanks for the tip - this was a great deal.

Lugboot · 01-10-08, 06:35 AM

Costco's website doesn't list this product anymore. I knew I should've jumped on it when I first saw this thread. Crap.

REZARF · 01-15-08, 09:59 PM

We've been cold here, and i haven't had time to try this thing out, i was going to go camping this weekend, but it is going to be like 2 degrees in the mountains... and I am a wimp anymore with the cold.

I'll post up sooner or later

I did a "driveway" test last Friday between snow storms. 20 minutes to set up the same to take it down. With an extra pair of hands and a little practice I could see it being 10 min each.

yzftaco · 01-19-08, 02:46 PM

They're BAAACCCKKKKK!

I just ordered one....

I was hoping that they'd list them again...

v8tuff · 01-19-08, 07:37 PM

Same here. I checked this afternoon, showed not available.

yzftaco · 01-20-08, 04:09 PM

Dang,
guess I got lucky... I've been checking everyday..

Cheers,

yzftaco · 01-24-08, 10:34 AM

Well, a package arrived, but it was a Kelty 4 man tent box....

I went onto Costco online to call customer service, and started comparing #'s with my invoice... all the #'s and descriptions matched up (except for the tent box)and the sku on the side of the box said carport....

So while I was on hold and before returning it to the nearest Costco...... I decided to open the box to see what's in it... Sure enough they put the carport in the wrong box....

I almost returned it, without opening the box... Phew!

Lugboot · 01-24-08, 11:38 AM

Lucky bastid. I'm still checking the site. no go so far.

Good thing you opened it! Enjoy . . .
