I got a good one this year. While certainly Vanagon-related, it was not meant to be a Christmas gift but that was when my Westy-owning brother had a chance to bring it out from Texas. It's an original Westfalia side tent, as pristine as you could possible ask after so many years. Everything was there. I'd say this thing (didn't measure, actually) is 7 x 11 feet or maybe a little larger. Tailor made for a Vanagon right down to the pocket made for the sliding door to recess into when the "airlock" is open to the main capsule and the gutter-fitting custom-extruded rubber seal that attaches the tent to the Vanagon. Colors and design screams "fatherland." Think pumpkin plus American flag, Nice thick floor. Tested in a heavy downpour and did not leak a drop. Not small, not light, but not difficult to set up even without a hint of instructions. You can drive off and leave the tent and hook up to it when you return. Not for singles or couples camping but great for grandkids. Jim
