We were looking for an awning for the '87 Westy and came across this: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/318,88153_Hummer- Outdoor-Awning-Table-and-Two-Folding-Chairs-Combo.html Since we did not have chairs already it seemed like a good deal if the awning could be made to work and so we took a chance. Tried it out this past weekend and it works. It has a 3-section, shock-corded stiffening rod that fits into a sleeve on the vehicle side of the awning (which is then clamped into the Westy rain gutter), but the straps and Fastex-type buckles kinda get in the way and may need to be removed. The poles are also shock-corded and fit into adjustable sleeve bases with about 18" of vertical adjustment, so the poles adjust from about 6'-7.5' tall. Four guy lines and pegs. The chairs are good and the table is handy, but soft-topped. Stuff sacks for everything. The grey matches our camper, and the Hummer logo fools everyone into thinking we're extremely cool. Not a bad deal for the price if you need everything. If you just need an awning you can probably make it for less.
