For those of you who can't afford a Reimo, just wanted to let you know-  We
took our first trip with our new Cabela's Deluxe Truck Tent.  It worked
really well I'd say, though it's certainly not designed for a Vanagon.  I
bought 6 small-sized spring clamps at the hardward store and clamped the
top to the rain gutter.  The strap that comes with it attaches the bottom
nicely under the bumper.  There were a couple of gaps that I closed with
some creative clamping using the other 4 spring clamps.  I used a rope loop
attached to the tow hooks to lower the tailgate some.  I don't think it
would work with it all the way up.  They're on sale right now for $179.
