    Are you thinking about buying a Pahaque side tent? Since a 2007 T@B was built by Dutchman, maybe one of the DM T@B owners will chime in. Otherwise, you can call Elsie in parts at NüCamp and ask her on Monday, or perhaps ask Pahaque. You can find nüCamp numbers in their category on the left, Elsie’s Extension is 304.

    You’re welcome. Someone could still respond re their own side-tent. Good luck.

    All side tents should fit all years.  The exception is the CS.  Paha Que makes a side tent specifically for the CS.  The Thermarest, however, isn't a good fit for a CS, but some make it work. I'm not sure how the height of the Boondock model effects the rooms, if any.

    Crystal, so the 2007 model is likely a Thermarest?  Those are great tents!

    what is the difference between a clamshell and a non clamshell?

    @SusanT, a clamshell trailer has the big tailgate type door that opens and a full galley kitchen across the back, open to the outdoors. A standard 320 has a much smaller kitchen inside across the front. Most  standard t@b trailers have a bathroom in the front anymore, which means the inside kitchen is squeezed between the bathroom and door. To accommodate  the full galley kitchen in a clamshell, the trailers have a different shape and silouhett, and that's why the tent/room is made for a specific models, standard, clamshell and now boondock, which has a different ground clearance, and thus a specific tent. Hope this helps. -Denise

    We have a 2018 320 CS-S and the Walker side tent.  We were told when we ordered the Walker that it wasn't designed for the "boondocks" but we went ahead.  Everything fits and we can usually install the tent in about 30-mins, the issues are the sides and the tent section that covers the wheels.  The boondock sits higher, so the sides of the tent don't reach fully to the ground where you can fold in the rain flaps and lay them under the floor.  I've attached a picture from our recent camping trip to highlight my point (and yes I forgot the doors for our tent when I packed up, a fact my wife still reminds me about).

    @SusanT, if yours is not a clamshell, then the Thermarest will fit, otherwise it won't, because it depends on the standard Tab kedar rail setup. The clamshell is different that way.

    As @Sharon_is_SAM said, the Thermarest is great!

    @Blueespy I love the Walker and can’t wait to order one. We have a Boondock model but I was told the current tents will fit.  We are getting the one with the window screens. Did you order yours from All Pro?
