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 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), the poles are similar 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 logotype 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.
