Clearly made for an earlier era when American cars were larger and American drivers were smaller! |

Just bought one a few months ago.
You would know it if one of these was on the roof of your Bug.

Yes it's a Dove Lodgette. What a really cool topper too. I've been learning a little about them and really happy I was able to find one. Looks like I got everything for it including the table and ladder. Just missing one thing, the clamps to hold it to the car lol. Hopefully I'll have something figured out soon so I can start using it this fall. |

Do you still have yours too @59panel? I'd buy those clamps from you if you have them too. |

If you look under my photos I posted a drawing of the dimensions and some photos of what mine look like for someone else who was going to try to make some if that helps. My Grandparents got mine with the full add a room option I would like to find just the awning if anyone has one or knows where I could find _________________ Rupert- 64 Sea Blue Beetle with 66 Dove Lodgette tent

Nice pics @ karmannut. I stole the clamp pics and sent them to a friend that might be able to duplicate them. |

Check this one out, it's called a Skycamp, that mounts to the roof, slides off and hangs off the side, opens up and stores a kitchenette with 2 camp cots, a folding chair, and water resivor too.
