awning ideas...
abodyjoe:
so i have a 2011 QS 8.1 and would like an awning.. the new QS uses an YKKK zipper and the 2011 uses an IDEA zipper so i'm afraid if i buy a new awning that the zippers won't mesh... does anyone have any clever ideas on how to make and attach an awning for this thing?
thanks in advance..

They are not interchangeable. But our current manufacturer TOP STITCH can use the IDEAL Zippers. Your 2011 probably has a VEADA tent with an IDEAL zipper and our current manufacturer TOP STITCH uses a YKKK Zipper. They will be different part numbers. I will be updating our parts catalog accordingly. I will post the updated part numbers in this thread this week.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
abodyjoe:
so if i ordered an awning kit from my local dealer how do i make sure they specify the ideal zipper?
do you have any idea what size ideal zipper was used? i checked and i do have an ideal awning zipper.

Let them know the manufacturer of the Tent. This issue is so new I do not have a part number yet from Top Stitch. Should have one in the next couple of days and I will post it. But for now just let them know the manufacturer of the tent. Or just hold off a couple of days and I will have a PN for you.
Update: I just spoke with Top Stitch. You may call Top Stitch directly and let them know you have a Veada tent and need an awning to match. You can order it directly through them. Ask for Candy 330=972-7745
