Subject:Re: '85 Westy/Carnival tent/mind in gutter
From:Mike Collum

With the number of different types of tents out there, I feel I should
be more specific.

It's the orange and blue with the red and blue door.  The tent is
suspended from an external frame and has the gray floor.  It was
original equipment on an early 70's Westy.

The attachment to the van is via a rubber strip that fits onto the drip
rail (rain gutter).  In that the Loaf drip rail is different, will the
rubber strip tend to pull off the Vanagon too easily?  And, if so, what
has worked for others in making the attachment secure?

Thanks,

Mike
