Hi-dy Ho List-a-reno's, I have a quick question. I'm want to get an awning for my Vanagon Westy. However, the thought of spending 300-500 bucks for a tube mounted unit doesn't appeal to me. I was thinking of getting one of those bag type awnings that are used on pop-up campers that side into a groove. Less expensive. I'm not scared to drill holes and attach a rail on the bus, I take the proper precautions to prevent rust and so forth, I'm wondering what it will look like hanging there on the side of the bus. That where your opinion comes on. Do you think it will look goofy? I can't imagine it would look any worse than having a tube bolted to the side of the bus. I'm also thinking that the bag may hang down and interfere with the operations of the doors. If anyone has tried this let me know. Of course if anyone has the proper style awning, used, they would like to unload, by all means let me know. Take care. -- -Jim DiGennaro '84 Green Westfalia 'The Turtle Van' ICQ# 5534528 LiMBO LINE: (413) 743-1814 URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/ 'Transporters By The Tunnel' - A fun camping event ' held July 14th-16th
