I'm new to the Vw world and there seems to be a lot of complaints about sub standard parts ! So till I get more experience this may be the first of many such questions!!

Don't know if it helps I've only used it once! But my t25 came with a khyam quick erect awning that attaches to the gutter on the van but is higher inside I'm 6ft2 and can stand up in it no problem also very easy/quick to put up.
