I have had one of these for ~4 years and I like it.  I have
the 10' and use their Vanagon brackets (which were separate
as I recall.)  A bracket on each side of the sliding door.

Mine is not a Westy, but the brackets and shaped to work on
either one.

I have figured out how to setup/down the awning by myself.
They say "two people" which is easier for the 10' model.

It is very well designed and built, IMHO.
