Said it before, will say it again: Love our Fiamma. I'd spend the money to buy a new one if i had to. Ours is the larger F1 that likely doesn't fit on a Vanagon (we have an LT31), but love it. Takes less than a minute to roll out and peg down. We often use it even if just parked for an hour for shade. Uberbus always becomes the party bus at campouts when it rains! Lots of space for friends. Jason Uberbus
