We have an Apollo that came with the '82 Westy and is now on our '88. It is
old, but well built. A bit tricky to take up & down, but very solid in windy
conditions. The aluminum clips for holding the case closed are a weak point,
and the screws aren't stainless. My parents have one on their 2000 EV, but I
forget the brand. It looks nice, with a white finish, more streamlined, but
is much harder to deploy.
