I bought a Shady Boy a couple of months ago and like it well. The guy will ship you mounting hardware made especially for a Westy and the fit is nice and snug. The material seems high quality and it was designed well. There are little velcro patches for when you need to fold it for packing away. Tacking it down and repacking it only takes a couple of minutes. The only knock I had was that there wasn't explicit mounting and use instructions. However, I'm sure most people could figure it out as I did. My only concern now is how well it will hold up over time. Since it is made out of light nylon-type material, will it last as long as the heavier canvas-like fabrics traditional awings have? Paul
