Hi Jeff, 

        That awning is still in my top 5 best additions to my Vanagon.  Right up there with the Tom Bues  pop top shelf.  I’d have to give the Fancher windshield and door screen combo a high listing as well. 

I have dreams of camping next year at my local folk festival with the tent in the front and the awning shading the driver’s side. Put on the rear hatch tent for showers and such and I have a castle.
