I�m going to be mostly living out of this for a couple of months at least, and like the idea of not taking up storage.  So far I�ve looked into the Fiamma from GoWesty which looks neat and expensive, and a less expensive one from Country Home Campers called the Shady Boy. It�s less about the money and more about the quality and practicality however. 

I have a Dometic (was A&E?) awning on my '87 Westy.  I've been happy with the mounting, which is solid, and the durability.  It's a bit difficult to restore after deploying it (getting the spring-loaded bars back into the housing), but that's okay.  I don't see it at Dometic's site, though.
