Vancafe sells fiamma awnings plus they offer the longer 11'6" model like i
have.

I had the bus Depot awning as well. It just didn't fit my needs as I was
planning a trip that I'd be camping every day for a 2 week period. I wanted
something that'll open up quickly.

Here's my writeup on my Fiamma awning

Since I had the 11' bus Depot awning I really didn't want to go smaller
with a 10' fiamma. So I called Chris and Vancafe and asked if they could
order the longer 11'6 from fiamma for me and it wasn't a problem. After My
install they've been getting a lot if requests for it so now it's listed on
their website as an option.

When I ordered mine, silver or white were the only color options. Now they
offer it in black which is what I really wanted!

Just got back from our Gettysburg 6 day trip. Westy ran great had rain the
last 2 days. Now is the time to think about another type of awning. We have
and love our Bus Depot awning which is perfect except trying to put it up
during a cold November rain storm. I thought about getting a Fiamma (price?
Expensive) from GOWESTY because I could put it up easily and quickly in a
rain storm. But I understand that it will leak water at the Westys sliding
door area when raining. It is probably great for shade but I am more
concern about the rain and me not getting soaked opening the awning. With
the bus depot awning , If we are at a camp spot just for the evening it
makes a hassle to put the awning up and then packing it away again. We
always cook and grille our evening meal outside. It would be nice to stop
for the evening, crank out the awning quickly and set up my barbecue
grille. Any thoughts or should I just have fun using the Bus Depot awning
and getting wet.?

Drying off in Vermont,
