    Just wondering what everyone’s experience is with the walk through door hub shelters. I just sold my Clam X-400 with two V doors and bought the full door model. I bought online as they didn’t have in store. I received today and am second guessing as it is an extra bit of time setting up and taking down. Any issues in the wind with the full door as long as you face it on the downward side of the wind? From what I read most people like the full door.

    Face it on the downwind side you’re good . You don’t need the tent poles if the wind isn’t blowing but they def do help . I’m about 50/50 on the full door . It is super nice but also a lot of messing around if you want to move around all day .

    The worst part about it is now you trip over all your buddy’s doors .

    I have an Eskimo with a full door. I rarely put the poles in unless I know for sure I’m not moving. No issues with wind. Love not tripping through and carrying chairs and whatnot through it. Kids don’t trip while going through.
    I don’t know if it takes me much longer with it or not, so non issue in my book.
