As requested, I am supplying information for Norseman Apollo awnings. Norseman make kits available for Type II's, Vanagon's, and EV's. The kits for the Type II's, and Vanagon's require NO drilling into the bodywork. You can see my awning on my web pages at www.bcit.bc.ca/~hyates. I remove my awning for the winter, and reattach in spring with no marks on the bodywork. I use small pieces of innertube between the brackets and paintwork, and this works out very well. Our awning is 10' in length, and opens out about 8' (I think!). I can have the sliding door opened all the way in the rain, and the van is totally dry inside as the awning covers about half of the front door as well. For the EV, Norseman makes special brackets, BTW all brackets are aluminun. These brackets are screwed into the bodywork of the van to permanently attach the awning. Kind of a bummer :( I saw a WESTFALIA awning on an EV Westy (CDN model) that looked great. It was a European delivery vehicle and the owner purchased it in Germany. I can't remember if it was permanently attached or not. The EV brackets from Norseman or black/anodized aluminum. Here's the particulars; Norseman Mfg., 14545 - 115 Ave., Edmonton, Alberta Canada T5M 3B8 ph: 403-451-6939 This was purchased this in 1990, and we paid $455 CDN for the awning, $39 CDN for the bracket kit. I'm not sure if the address or phone # is still current. Maybe if any list members are in Edmonton could verify and possibly supply a fax #, and current pricing, that would be great.
