TaB CSS side tent

Nigll

hi campers!
I have a tab 320 Max clamshell Anyone have one with a side tent. I’m looking at what specific one I need to order. I want to make sure it fits and zips on with no big gaps.  

Thanks

We have the PahaQue tent. It is the older version without the shock-corded center pole.  The skirt and main tent attaches to the TaB via the Keder rail, not a zipper.  The floor secures to the skirt with heavy duty velcro.  As the steps remain folded and covered, we use a portable step.  Ours seals up very well.  

According to their website, the PahaQue tent does not fit the 2021 model 320.  Their listed price is cheaper than the Teardropshop, too.

Thank you for that information!! Do you have a clamshell what year? Does the tent come with a floor? Does your tent have a screen as well as an option to make it private as well? I have an old therma rest tent and now have a clamshell so my tent doesn’t fit anymore so looking for one that fits my clamshell camper. Sounds like the one you mentioned will work. I appreciate you sharing.

We have a 2017 CSS.  The PahaQue tent is the only commercial tent out there that fits the 320 clamshells.  It has a full floor that is very durable.  We still layer a sheet of plastic and sometimes a tarp under the floor to help prevent wear.  The tent has 2 screen windows on the sides that also have attached, zippered and velcro solid panels for privacy and rain.  The screen door has a 3 sided zipper and an attached solid panel as well.  The screening is no-see-em, so in the heat, it can get stuffy without a breeze.  We sometimes use a fan in the tent.  

You know your Thermarest tent will sell quickly.  It is a hot item.

Here are a few shots of the tent.  We use the pole to prevent pooling with rain.

Amazing information thanks so much this is so helpful!! Thanks for all the pictures too!!

It is well made and once you get the hang of it, it is easy to put up.  It is so nice to have an enclosed area for privacy, bug protection, to take off and store rain coats and just stash extra gear.

I am trying to gather more information about the ThermaRest tent, but can't locate any online. I have a 2016 T@B 320 S (not clamshell) and wondering how that ThermaRest tent would work on it.  PahaQue seems to offer something similar at the same price. Is there an advantage to the used tent over a new one?

I used it on my tab 320 2014 it’s a bit bigger than the new ones. I paid 1,000 for it. I really like it but I bought a clamshell and it won’t fit my clamshell.
