A long white zipper runs up the middle of the front, while the back is open and contoured to fit the bus. T he frame consists of four metal poles which fit into pockets inside the top of the tent and lock together to form a square. Legs on two of the poles fit into brackets which were bolted to the camper's roof. Two additional poles dogleg into the top frame and have small chain-hooks to hold the doors open. The lower ends of these poles fit into holes in the jack supports.
Rubber grommets help protect the paint on the doors and the jack points.
T he lower edge of the tent is secured to the ground with about a dozen metal stakes. On mine, two storage bags made of grey and blue canvas with leather straps are supplied for the tent and poles. It's the largest and most colorful of the Westfalia side tents, hence the name I've given it. Although it still has no floor, it does have screened windows, which I'm sure make it a much more comfortable tent on humid nights. T he style continued up until the second-generation Type IIs were introduced.
