>> I am in the market for a nice side tent for my vanagon westy. Doesnyone own one that could give me some direction on which one to get? I found a few on eurocampers and busdepot. I would like one that is easy to setup and not huge to store- Is there such a thing? << Get the smallest one you can live with if you don't want to take up allot of interior space. Of you can get away with an attachable side awning that takes up no space on the inside then go that way. There are even some that you can attach screen siding too. I have the older Bus Depot Koln tent which I took with me the first time when I went to GGB4 since they were calling for rain. I will say that it took up allot of space while traveling but it was worth it once I was there. It allowed me to setup a play area for my 4 year old and gave me shelter when the heavy rains came Saturday night. If my 83.5 is not out of the shop by this Wed I'll probably take my EV MV to Westies in the Woods and bring the side tent again. If I were to buy a new one I'd probably get that Spacemaker Add-A-Room from the BD since 1) it has a sewn in floor and 2) it has allot of configurations like the Koln so you can have lots of enclosed space or lots of air depending on your needs.
