We've most recently been playing with a Kelty Carport Deluxe, which we bought at an insanely (way below) reasonable price. http://www.kelty.com/kelty/products.php?type=8&cat=63&id=151 I can't really tell from the Bus Depot site exactly how the Ezy-Awning attaches to the van/raingutter. I'd be interested to know, because our way of attaching the Kelty Carport is a bit rube-goldberg-ish and is mostly OK, but it didn't hold up well to a recent uphill wind gust ...
