Visor Install?

Mash2, could you post some pictures of the set up your describing the next time you are out and about please?The Mouse house and me

Not the greatest pictures but I think they show it. One with standard black cord in Bryce and the other one at a recharging stop in North Carolina with glow in the dark cord. The NC photo probably shows it better.
-
Forgot to mention. I just tie the glow cord to the black original cord so I can see it at night. Not necessary, but I don't want to run into the cord and it gives me enough visual to always avoid the black cord.

Thanks for posting the photos!

I'm glad I took pictures that show what I was talking about. I would recommend the glow in the dark cord. It makes it easier to see where the cord is at night. Alternatively, you can move the pegs closer to the vehicle. Having the stakes pulls the visor down to the ground before it is attached (holding it down at a more vertical angle in the wind. I experimented a bit then got lazy, just staking it directly below and using the glowing cord to mark the location when I walk around the site.

Looks a lot taunter overall than I could get it the standard way.
-
Yep... Definitely more resistant to winds...
-
I have two visors - one for each side - since I often camp where there are NO shade trees. I also stake out the visors if I think it's going to be windy, but I use bright orange parachute cord instead of the stock black cording. Just a safety reminder for me.

Should anyone decide to mount two Visor XLs on your T@B, here's your new mascot and nickname:

The other possibility is "The Flying T@B"!

In breezy conditions I just stake the lines out in front of the visor instead of back to the base of the T@B. I go out as far as the lines will reach leaving some adjustment. It even works well using a single, central stake where both line are attached.
When using the keder rail adapters attaching the lines, it helps a lot to do something to prevent the anchor point from sliding in the rail and loosening the line.
I changed mine to eye screws under the edge of the T@B and snap clips on the ends of the lines. Everything stays put and tight. (The DM CS does not have the lower keder rail so I had to improvise.)

Here's the ticket - The heck with those pansy keder rail cords...

I have the smaller version of the visor and have used it extensively over the last two years. It is a quick setup so I break it out for stays of two days or more.
The winds do take a toll and one of my visor poles broke on our last trip. Does anybody know if the individual rods can be purchased or do you have to replace the entire fiber pole system? -
Call Paha Que (I don't have the number handy...please Google them). You'll need an exact measurement of the individual broken pole. They will send it with instructions on how to install it and not lose the shock cord.jebelhafit said:I have the smaller version of the visor and have used it extensively over the last two years.

Many thanks. -
Looks like most are happy with their Visor XL once anchored to the ground and kept from sliding in the keder rail.
My thought is why not offer a version with tension poles like a dome tent works?
Two additional crossed poles and you'd have a much stronger structure that could be anchored with a single Y guyline to the ground. Or the bottom keder rail cords would likely work with this design tweak.
Think about a baseball cap with a stiff bill. No flopping in the wind and it's held by the cap.
A 3 poled XL visor would literally stand on its own with 4 tension points against the keder rail.
Just thinkin...

If you set up two, it looks Dutch so get tire covers that look like wooden shoes
