Well, if you have started something I'll second that emotion. The Shady Boy works well under most Pacific Northwest conditions, mounts securely and you can't even tell it's there while driving. I'm mounting a Fiamma 45i for someone else and it's a beautiful piece of equipment BUT very heavy. The special Fiamma mounting system appears to work but I have another someone who says his Fiamma 45i wobbles around while driving. (I didn't install it and haven't seen the install yet). Cost may be a factor for some at $900 to $1000 bucks with shipping. Man the Battle Stations! ;-) Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Doug Alcock Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 11:03 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: New Westy owner with a few questions >>The popular choice for awnings and the easiest to get by with is a regular >>easy-up.
