OK folks,

I'm considering an awning install for the first time in my Vanagon
experience.  I've a '90 Westy and nothing atop presently.  Vaguely possible
I'll install solar panels atop but for now only have plans for a 20x40"
luggage rack panel.  At this point I like the idea of an awning without
vertical supports but suspect that isn't practical unless I found one of
those nice electric ones with automatic retraction for high winds, which I
don't think exist in 'Vanagon lengths.  At this point I like the idea of
the longest practical awning, which I suppose would extend to both ends of
the pop top.  Brand is important since I don't want a piece of crap.
Price, meh, it's only money!  Domestic?  Yes, unless it's really easy to
ship.

So, PLEASE respond with yes/no and a very brief 'why' IF you've personal
experience with an awning.

1. What brand would you buy?
2. What length would you choose?
3. Which style?
4. Why would you NOT install one if applicable?
5. Is it practical to install one longer than the pop top itself?

Please/thanks!
