Clam 2000 Lantern Box

[WMWW]

Not sure if anything has been posted so i thought Id share my laturn box I had my friend make me. I didnt like not being able to put my laturn in the middle of the shanty due to the lip of the trays. So I came up with this and it has worked out really good. My camera is dead so heres a compter sketch of it and when I get a charged Ill post pice of it in my shanty.

i'm in the process of building a little shelve system for the middle of the clam 2k also.

Here's some pics in the shanty. Nothing special but it gets the job done. Should of made it longer so I could put some beverage holders in it

Nicely done!  Simple and effective and keeps your light right where you wanted.

That's awesome. Great idea.

You must have been reading my mind, I was out in my Clam 2000 last weekend and I thought I need to build some kind shelf/stool for my flasher or lantern. The hinge location just causes some wasted space especially if two people are using the shelter.

WMWW,
Nicely done!!!  I too have a Clam 2000 and run into the same problem.  Is it possible you could list the dimensions of your little box.  I would like to replicate something like it.

Thanks,

Are you going to set the lantern on top? You may want a lantern box like this with the bottom made to the same shape.



Would save you on the burnt coats and lines.

Do you have more pics of that lantern box?  That is pretty cool.

Edit to answer my own question and follow some of my own advice.....used the search function....

Hope you guys can read this. We made it to fit my lantern bottom but kind of wish I made longer so I could put other stuff on it. Just make sure you slide it back from the material if its windy at all.

I like the mod for the lantern. I have done a mod to my 2000 that you might be interested in. I put a luaun floor in mine because I hated the ridged plastic.
Here's a pic of the floor. I'm going to do something similar to your lantern stand for my Coleman heater.



And one taken before I fastened the other piece of carpet down.
