CAMSS Corridors and vestibules provide blackout protection and connect shelters together in various complexing configurations. The basic corridor measures 6.5 ft. by 6.5 ft and may be connected end to end to provide any length corridor. The cross corridor allows users to connect corridors in multiple directions to complex shelters together or to add exits to the corridor system.
Complexing Made Easy
Corridors are used to complex CAMSS shelters together, end-to-end, side-to-side, or end-to-side. Cross-corridors are used in combination with corridors to provide numerous complexing options. Corridors and cross-corridors allow CAMSS Shelters to be complexed together or TEMPER Tents to be attached.
Covered Walkways
Corridors may be connected end to end to create walkways between shelters, eliminating the need to go outside to move from shelter to shelter. This is especially convenient for hospital, kitchen, and blackout conditions.
Blackout Enhancement
A corridor can also be used as a vestibule, creating an entranceway to the shelter and providing added protection in blackout conditions. By adding an optional double zipper door panel or a hard door panel, the vestibule will also help prevent dust and debris from blowing into the shelter when entering or exiting.
Optional Features
Optional door, window, and solid panels are available to enclose the openings to corridors and cross-corridors. Door panels add either a double zipper roll-up door or a hard door to the opening, making a convenient entranceway into walkways and shelters. Window panels include a screened window with a roll-up blackout cover and a detachable clear panel, which allows natural light into the corridor. The solid panel encloses the opening in the cross-corridor to increase the blackout capability of the complex. Optional incandescent and fluorescent lights are also available for walkway corridors.
The straight sidewall design of CAMSS Expeditionary Shelters enables corridors to be easily attached on any side for complexing.
A corridor may be attached to the endwall of the shelter as a vestibule.
Multiple corridors may be connected to each end of a shelter to create walkways between other shelters.
Corridors are a convenient way to connect multiple sized shelters together, as shown in this photo of a training exercise in Italy.
A hard door in the end of a shelter opens easily into a corridor.
A double hard door is installed in the side of this shelter and a single hard door is installed in the end. The shelter is side to side complexed to another shelter using a corridor at the US Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq.
This photo shows a corridor with a hard door attached to the end of a shelter.
A corridor is used to complex a CAMSS16EX Shelter side to side with a CAMSS20EX Shelter during training at Holloman AFB, NM. A corridor with a hard door is attached to the end of the CAMSS20EX.
