Pahaque clamshell galley tent question

Marceline · March 2018

Can someone who owns the clamshell tent tell me what kind of awning rail is used to attach it to your trailer?
Is it this rail: https://www.sailrite.com/Awning-Track-Flanged-White-48
Or this rail: https://www.sailrite.com/Flex-A-Rail-White-45
Or some other kind of rail?
Is attached solely with 3M doublesided tape or do you also screw it on?

Thanks!

I own one, just purchased, haven't used yet. Comes with keder rail, two pieces because to long to ship as a single, it will be attached to the trailer with 30 lb. 3m tape. Will not fasten with screws at this time, don't really want to pierce the skin. So will see how it goes this season. I feel this tent will be a great addition to the CS-S.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply!
There seem to be two types of plastic keder rail.

Looking at what you received, can you tell which one Pahaque is using?
Does it look like this: https://www.sailrite.com/Awning-Track-Flanged-White-48
Or like this: https://www.sailrite.com/Flex-A-Rail-White-45

Or maybe neither of these?

it is the flex rail and it is only taped on not screwed in place

The rail that was shipped to me is the latter in your post. Flex A rail white 45. The tape is already applied to the rail so when it is installed on the trailer it will be peel and stick. When I was talking to the salesperson at Pahaque he stated that it [the rail] should be installed 6 inches above the rail that carrie's the flex cover for the hatch hinge.

Thanks so much @Tabnero and @Capt_KLR.
I’m making some screens for my CS but I want to use the same type of rail.
