I recently acquired this Bus Awning that has been attic stored for the past 30 years. The guys I got it from said he bought it at a VW show in hopes to buy a bus down the road and that never happened. I'm struggling to identify it or find examples of one like it. It's thick canvas, very well made and in excellent condition. Came with the original polls and a set of aftermarket poles too. Weather has been to crappy to set it up yet but still want to know more. Any info would be great!

I am looking for an awning for a ‘63 sundial. If that is what you have I would happily trade for a bay window big top tent in excellent condition which would be way easier for you to sell.....

I have a twin to that tent. Same red/white with fringe. It was in a '63 Caravelle camper bus in near unused condition.

sorry, not interested in trading. I might consider selling it but someone would really have to want it more than I do.
