We were looking for an awning for the '87 Westy and
came across this:

Outdoor-Awning-Table-and-Two-Folding-Chairs-Combo.html

Since we did not have chairs already it seemed like a
good deal if the awning could be made to work and so
we took a chance.  Tried it out this past weekend and
it works.

It has a 3-section, shock-corded stiffening rod that
fits into a sleeve on the vehicle side of the awning
(which is then clamped into the Westy rain gutter),
but the straps and Fastex-type buckles kinda get in
the way and may need to be removed.  The poles are
also shock-corded and fit into adjustable sleeve bases
with about 18" of vertical adjustment, so the poles
adjust from about 6'-7.5' tall. Four guy lines and
pegs.

The chairs are good and the table is handy, but
soft-topped.  Stuff sacks for everything. The grey
matches our camper, and the Hummer logo fools everyone
into thinking we're extremely cool.  Not a bad deal
for the price if you need everything.  If you just
need an awning you can probably make it for less.
