Pahaque Awning for a 2015 CS

I want to get an awning for Uteki, but I saw something about framing differences on the clamshells versus the regular T@Bs.  Can anybody speak to this, or should I just contact Pahaque direct?

    I believe you should be good with the awning.  I think the differences come into play with the screen rooms and tents.

    If you would like you could use mine to test it on Uteki.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    Sounds good.  Probably have to do that after Tearstock since my evenings this week are crazy.  Soonest I could do the test would be Saturday.

    I am good Saturday morning, and most of the day on Sunday as well.

    Sure, I'll swing by then with the awning.  Shouldn't take but a few minutes to check.

    We have a 2016 Tab  CS-S and are on our second side tent from Paha Que.  The first one did not fit at all and after several weeks of sending photos and emails, the company said that the wrong tent had been sent (we have a clamshell and this was not made for a clamshell).  Our second one just arrived.  I set it up yesterday and found that it fits MUCH better.  This appears to be the correct model.  My only concern is that they claim:

    Installs easily using the keder (awning) rail already installed on your trailer,the T@B Trailer Tent by PahaQue creates a completely sealed, bug-free and waterproof environment for your gear and guests!

    When in reality it does not "completely seal" and therefore is not bug-free.  I haven't had it set up in rain yet so I can't comment on the waterproofing.  The front fits together better than the back (clamshell end).  I'm open to the possibility that this could be an "operator's error" since I haven't spent an enormous amount of time trying to figure out why there is still a large gap in the back. 

    Any one else have this issue?

    Nomad, the awning fits fine on a CS, no problem there. 

    If you want a tent you have to get the one specifically made for the CS model.  It should seal, you just have to make sure you get the correct one as the regular T@B"s and the CS T@B's have a different shape.

    Here's the awning on the CS.  Disregard the fact that it's inside-out.  :smiley:
