ok. here goes. check out Winnebago (who are making the volkswagen camper for 1995 ... it is a pop-top version of the eurovan). they should have already thought about this, and (if they aren't going to make it themselves) may have a sub-contractor/accessory maker who will make this/these accessories. Winnebago Industries 800-64r3-4892 source: 1994 RV Buyer's Guide Forest City, IA 50436 page 88

i've looked through all the german books i have, and can't find any reference to Apollo ... but they don't have too much in the way of eurovans. and Apollo could likely be the name of the model, not the van-customizer. however, here are the two major customizers that i know about: Westfalia-Werke Dehler Yachtbau GmbH Franz Knoebel & Soehne KG Im Langel / Postfach 3209 Postfach 2640 D-5778 Meschede 3-Freienohl 4840 Rheda-Wiedenbrueck Germany Germany Tel. (02903) 511 <they show an awning as you telefax (02903) 510 describe, but for a vanagon, telex 84935 which has a rain gutter>

hope it helps. joel
