    It’s a tent. Add a base for ground cover . Now you can camp out.
    Note: the suction units. Work great. Don’t forget to REMOVE BEFORE YOU DRIVE OFF. Can loose suction.
    Great covering. Tarp. Will work great for this unit. Or a bathroom , for outdoor coverage. ?…. Thank you for sharing. Great job!

    If you keep your outer poles together all the time. Store them by sliding along the wall. You won't have to continually take them apart and then together again. You could possibly put the two main tent poles together and put the other two with them and roll the fabric around all four poles. Put rubber bands over the ends to hold everything together and slide along a wall. Then you would be able to set up that much faster. Put your picnic table under there too. I wish I could draw it out for you but I can't draw. Hope you try that and it works for you. Peggy

    Lulu, you make me want a van to join other campers! Three of our grandsons are now in college in 3 different states, so how fun would this be to visit them in our own little home away from home!!🥰

    Love the suction cups! I have a medium roof and it is too high for me to reach. I use a wheelchair, and this looks easy enough for me to do, albeit it may take more like 15 to 20 minutes to put up. Thanks Lulu

    Thanks Lulu! I been wondering how much work it is to put one of these up/down! Looks doable as you say.
    I been getting my stuff together for my own travels – with my dog.

    I have an 07 Pilot so not as much room as a van. This shelter might be fun to have.

    I like it much better without the poles. On the ground or between the two vehicles is not my liking 😊😊. Luv someones idea to put it upside down so you can open window from inside.

    Lulu I loooove it!!! Just when we thinking the world is filled with crazy unkind people. The sweetest people come along & surprise us with kindness. Great story. So happy for you Lulu it gives you so much more living space. Like having a porch or deck outside your house. What a great addition. My addiction would be tiny twinkle lights for a cozy Hygge vibe! How cool! Also thanks for the diet notes in your drop down. Love ya Lulu Mariaknits27💃🏻💕🧶🧵🏠📚

    I swear Lulu, with your smile, your wonderful New England accent, and your enthusiasm, I'd enjoy watching you set up a checkerboard! You're so delightful and precious! Thanks again for sharing your story.

    I think I've been taking tents down incorrectly my whole life!! I've always pulled the poles out of the casing but thinking about it, that probably damages the elastic and the poles. Your way of pushing them through makes much more sense and would be nicer to the equipment. 💚 Thank you 💚

    Well…that seems to be a keeper!! (Even if you don’t use it on a trip-you may be traveling with someone or meet someone, at the same site, that you could loan it to, just for the duration.)
    I’m gonna use your link & get one for my hubby & grandson to connect to their trucks, when camping. Thanks for sharing.
