Kevin:

I've had an awning from Carefree of Colorado for several
years.  They make 8' and 10' and have brackets for
Vanagons--that fit a Westy.  Mine isn't a Westy and
could use a simpler bracket, but....

I have the 10' which they say takes two people to
unroll/roll, but I can do it alone.  It extends over
the passenger door so to protect that window.  I
really like it and it is well made.  The model is
Sidewinder II.  You can see it on my bus at
http://coyote.colorado.edu/jones/DV but is isn't
unrolled; it was never hot/sunny enough in Death
Valley to use it in January.  :-(

I bought it through an RV dealer.  Carefree of Colorado
is about 8 miles from Boulder (in Broomfield) but they
sell through dealers.  I think the price was ~$225,
but don't remember exactly, since it's been a few years.

Anyway, I highly recommend it!
