Hi Jim....this is very interesting as Sgt. Shultz would say.
Would the side tent work just as well on a tin-top?
I wondering if any of our aftermarket vendors have a source for the OEM or a similar product.

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.
