We have an A&E Catalina by Dometic, 8' long on our '85 Westy which we
bought at Camping World.  It was on sale;don't remember how
much.   Installed it myself.  It's easy to use and can be removed if you
sell your rig.  It clamps to the rain gutter.  The only problem is that
there is no seal between the awning and the rain gutter so that when it
rains hard it will drip between the awning and the sliding door.  That is
irritating.  Our son has the 10' model on his '81 Westy.  In hindsight, I
wish I had bought the 10 footer.  It covers the front door, too.
