I have a friend who bought a VW blue & orange kombi side annex/tent.
He owns a 76 kombi & tells me it doesn't fit it.
I don't know much about these annex's so if someone can answer my Q that would be greatly appreciated....
Are there different sizes/styles for different year kombi's?
How do I find out what one he has.
Anyone know of a website I can go to for some research on this.
Hope someone can help...

Have a look on Just Kampers website it may help
www.justkampers.com
Is there any markings on it?
Like already been said most are a universal fitting, a sleeve normally shrouds the side of the kombi.
The sleeves can either be held in place by a fixed rail or suction cups with a bar through them.
Cheers

By the colour it sounds like it could be like mine which is in the picture below.Unfortunately in this photo you can't see it where it attaches to the kombi but the big flap comes out & over the sliding door & i attach it to the gutter with some lilltle clamps.Not sure if this helps ayt all.

Oh....Snap.....!

could it be because the tent requires a piece of sail track attached to the gutter? - bout 5bucks a meter at caravan stores

You dont need to fix the channel to your bus anymore.
We have suction clamps, from Just Kampers, that stick to your roof. Get a length of tube and sew loops to your tent if not already there and hey presto, clean and easy

yes it does have the VW logo on it & the word "campmobile". Looks very similar to yours Mandy (Splittychick)...thanks for the pic, same colour too.
I haven't tryed to erect it yet as its pouring rain here.
Roy, its not on the justkampers website....checked that.
I done some research tonight & found there were tents made for each era.
And found it... Its called a Breadloaf-era (68-79) tent
named..... The "Drive-Away" Westy Tent
Introduced in '67 for the second generation Campmobiles.
It has a boot that fits snugly against the side of the bus, & a plastic floor. Blue & yellow/orange colour scheme.
So this is probably what this is...
By all the pics this is the closest to it I found.
Obviously why it universal/fits so many kombis....made for '68-'79
thanks everyone...

I dont mean it as a criticism but the only thing I have been able to think of is that he was trying to attach the flap that goes to the front at the side & the side that goes to the sliding door to the rear thinking that was the main entrance
