Gary: if you are sure of your (or someone's) sewing abilities, you can always make your own! We were also in search of a tent for our westy, but being light of wallet, and maybe just a little stubborn, we picked up a nice tent for not too much $$$, and my wife went at it with the sewing machine, made the pieces to connect it to the bus, the extra zippered door, everything. Really cool. Not for the faint of heart, but not impossible either. We still haven't gotten any more or better pictures yet, but take a look: http://www.oz.net/~sneakers/tent.htm and send her (or me) an e-mail if you have questions. steve '85 westy with home-grown east wing attachment kent, wa >From: Gary Ryan <vwvanagain@YAHOO.COM> >I went camping for the first time in my 91 Weekender >and it was great.
