Hi folks,

        I’ve been thinking about one of these Add a Room tents for some time.  

If someone on list has one could you let me know?  I’d like to ask a few questions as I have not had the chance to see one in use yet.

We do offer a similar product, and yes it will work on a tin top too.  Our Add-A-Room is patterned after a different OEM German Vanagon tent (there were a few at one time, all long discontinued), but we added some new twists. For example all of the walls can be extended out to turn it into a huge awning.

See:   http://www.busdepot.com/details/addaroom/

We just got a new shipment in and we're tripping over these (we have to make a couple hundred at a time for economies of scale, but barely have the warehouse space), so in the interest of clearing the aisles I'll make a special offer. If anyone would like one and emails me within the next week, I'll throw in the optional changing cabin for free. (It is normally $80 if purchased separately, or $25 if purchased with the Add-A-Room.) Plus I will take $10 off any additional Bus Depot items ordered at the same time, so you can get yourself a freebie or two.
