There was a Chevy Suburban in Camp Scholler last year that sat under a
10'x20'(?) car tent, which covered half of the vehicle. His system kept
most of the Suburban's windows out of the sun. The rest of the canopy's
length ran out, past the rear bumper, and served as: dressing area, shade
area, rain canopy, whatever he wanted to use it as. I'll have to look into
this idea some more, between now and July. :-)

That was basically what I did with my Chevy Astro van. I went one more, and
was hooked up to electricity in the Aviation Explorer Base, and had a small
window AC in the opened back door, with a piece of cardboard sealing the
area around the AC in the open door. The canopy kept the rain off the
cardboard. (very necessary) g

Instead of the area off the back being covered, the extra canopy was on the
side with the cargo sliding door, to make a sitting - eating - whatever
area.

Set the AC back inside, lay the cardboard down, and drive out from under the
canopy, if a store run was needed. (it was g)

At least I didn't need to put in a transmission, that year!
