We are new owners of an '85 Westy and have been shopping around for the same items. Our choices have been: Propane heater: Coleman Black Cat - catalytic heater. Not a built-in, but heats our bus quite effectively and it is not expensive. Batteries: nothing yet. Awning: We looked at several awnings at EveryBus a few weeks ago and settled on the Catalina 2500 by A&E Dometic -- see http://www.dometic.com for some info. I hope to order mine later today. I particularly liked the bracing design and ease of setup. Hope this helps.
