Regarding the Westy tent. I have one which I don't want to sell, sorry, as I live in it along with my van. To the (a) point. The tent is from a friends 71' Westy and I have an 82' and it fits perfectly. So, there seems to be some crosswestability with them. This may ease the search. And while I look out of the office, I see that it is raining once again. The first rain this season brought down several inches along with the tent. The short pitch along with the amazingly tight weave combined to allow some 3 gallons of water to collect. The weight snapped the snaps and dropped the top. Since I left the door ajar (unzipped), all that water just rushed right in and stayed to soak my books, tools, and cloths. Nice rubber flooring keeps water out, or in. So if you do get one, besure to set up on level ground (I can't) and get a plastic tarp to draw up tight over the external frame. There, I've said it. I feel that a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders, at least 3 gallons worth. Happy hunting....Walt 82' Westy 71' 2002.. .... .... ....
