Well Volksies I finally got myself an original Westfaila side tent after
years of searching for the "good" deal.  Got it with a '72 Westfaila that
is rusted beyond repair and had to take the bus to get the tent.  Good
news is that I got the whole enchilada for 100 bucks, CND to boot !  So
the tent needed three mouse holes patched but is in otherwise perfect
shape.  The poles were rusted badly so I stipped, repaired the rusted thru
parts, sandblasted the whole lot and had them powder coated the original
light brown color for $150, CND again !  So now I have this really awesome
tent standing in my yard.  BUT.....I have this question ??????  There is
a zippered window opening in the same side as the zippered opening for
access to the van.  This window opening is not screened as the other two
window openings are.  I can see no evidence of this opening ever haveing
been screened.  What's the skinny on this ?  Is this how they were made ?
And if so what the hell was the purpose of having a window with no
screening ?  Looking for a logical answer !  Ha !  Probably none, right ?
Well, anyways, I thought I'd ask all you wise ones and see what comes up.

Cheers

Frank (with Westfaila side tent)
