I am looking for one myself for my 87 syncro westy (recent purchase). This
is a response I got from the Shadyboy people:
Hello,
the company in S.F. is a Van converter and they have used our awnings in the
past. We are just linking our  web pages. There is also a write up on the
awning at  Vanagon.com. Generally we are selling the awnings and umbrellas
over the internet and the shipments are from Blaine  WA.. The awnings sell
for $195 USD plus shipping.  We are currently working to put more
information on our web site but if you like more info at this time please
feel free to contact me here. When ordering most people phone in their card
number (MC or Visa only ) for security.   Regards  Wolfgang
http://www.shadyboy.com/

There's also a link in the "Info" section of V.com for a $20 version. I
picked up some of the materials for this at Home Depot but haven't tried it
yet. I can always use the stuff for something else if I ever upgrade.

You have to decide between free standing or roll out. I have a Fiamma F45
roll out awning and it is just the job for a quick set up. Its alloy case
goes well with my Fiamma bike rack.
