For about 1/3 the price (just $119), our Ezy-Awning is similar, but is
specifically designed for Vanagons and is already designed to attach to the
rain gutter. While we do not offer sides, the front can be lowered to any
desired height so that it can be used as a lean-to.  An optional adapter
allows it to be used without staking poles to the ground, instead allowing
the two poles to either connect to your Vanagon's jackpoints or chock under
the wheels.  Another adapter allows use on a Eurovan (which lacks a rain
gutter). This has been one of our best selling items.  We've had trouble
keeping up with demand, but our next shipment is due in a few weeks.
