Gary: if you are sure of your (or someone's) sewing abilities, you can always
make your own! We were also in search of a tent for our westy, but being light
of wallet, and maybe just a little stubborn, we picked up a nice tent for not
too much $$$, and my wife went at it with the sewing machine, made the pieces
to connect it to the bus, the extra zippered door, everything. Really cool.
Not for the faint of heart, but not impossible either. We still haven't gotten
any more or better pictures yet, but take a look:
http://www.oz.net/~sneakers/tent.htm and send her (or me) an e-mail if you
have questions.
