Doug, yeah I've seen thiers in person, they are nice.. but aren't
"Totally weatherproof" in fact they state it in full red large text on
that page.. no bag mfg. will say it's 100% waterproof cause then you'd
sue if your wife's cashmere sweater gets a color run in it.
no doubt theirs fits well, as does mine.. also theirs would likely look
better on a 86+ camper with color matched roof.
the one I'm offering is duck canvas (i'd guess) brown.
but thiers is $99+ shipping..mine is (if you'd like) $40 to your door.
fits slick too. (at least in my 1980 Riviera top which has slightly
deeper cargo well then a westy)
also if you'd note I included thier info in my post... only trying to
be fair.

Dan,
Go Westy has a pretty trick custom bag for the luggage rack.
Fits exactly in the area totally weatherproof..
