Subject:      A & E Awning for sale
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Greetings, volks:

Since I already bought one of the Busdepot side tents (which mounts in the
space that my awning would occupy) and since I really need $ at this point
in time, I've recently made the painful decision to part with my A & E 2500
Catalina awning with "Adapter Lit" for mounting to gutter (without drilling
holes, etc.).  According to a discussion on awnings I'd read on the
Westfalia.org site prior to my purchase, the consensus was that the A & E
Catalina awning was the tried and true way to go for the Westfalia.
Purchased from Camping World a couple years ago, the awning is tan-to-cream
colored and 6' deep and 8'2" long awning; it's been stored indoors and used
only on 3 brief outings.  It is as close to "like new" condition as one can
get and luckily I held onto the Camping World shipping materials, so I'm
able to ship it safely myself.  Camping World listed both the awning and
adapter kit for 360+ not including shipping costs, so I figure $225 is a
fair price and sufficient justification for letting it go.

CW shipped the awning via Yellow Freight, but if UPS can handle the 9-ft.
tube, they're also an option.  Perhaps I could split the shipping costs
with any of you interested buyers.  Also, let me know if you'd like to see
a photo of the awning, which I think I must have somewhere.
