    They look great and the Pa Ha Qua reviews aren't very favorable overall.

    They have an awesome screen room, too.  Too bad it's cost prohibitive to try to ship to the U.S.

    We are aware that some reviewers think otherwise, but we just LOVE both the XL visor and the awning we have, both by Paha Que.

    Oh, I love my Visor.  It's the only thing I use unless I have the add-a-room up.

    Yeah, I totally love my Visor XL. There are some that complain quite loudly about Paha Que products, I have no issues and there customer service is great.

    The Visor XL is a piece of cake to install, use and take down. It is marvelous!

    I have a thermarest canopy and since I got the XL visor, I haven't taken it out of its case.  At some point, I'll probably get rid of it.  The XL visor is so much easier to use, takes up less room to store and provides a reasonably large protected space.  The canopy is larger (I think the Isabela and the thermarest are comparable sized), but a bit of a pain to set up.  If you want a relatively large covered space, its nice, but I found the trade off wasn't worth it for me.

    I purchased the T@B tent and the Visor XL. With the simplicity of the visor, I, too, haven't gotten the tent out of the package. The tent will get used in inclimate weather, or possibly in October when the yellow jackets try to bother me whe cooking. It will have its day.

    If I did a lot of camping where I stayed around the campsite for most of the time and for longer periods, I think the tent could be great. For my style of camping, the Vision XL is perfect.  There was a heavy dew when I packed up camp this weekend. I pulled down the Visor and wiped it off with a couple of paper towels. I let it sit in the sun for 5 minutes and it was completely dry. It also stores easily in the bench on the passenger side, along with leveling blocks.

    Does the clamshell interfere with the visor XL? The Isabella is sold pretty much everywhere but here. I'd buy it from the French retailer.

    Hm - not sure if the Visor fits CS, we have an S model. Have you checked online the PahaQue store (or Teardrop shop)?
