I originally bought this tent to attach to the side of my camper during wet weather but in the event I solved the problem a different way. So now what do I do with it?
It is designed to attach to the rear of an SUV and provide shade and accommodation when travelling.
Years ago I constructed an awning for use on the side of my car but when this tent was free I wondered if it could be modified to provide shade and privacy when needed
This was my original awning and one which will still be used most of the time - quick and easy to attach.
The new structure not only provides shade but it is also an ensuite tent, kitchen as well as wet weather shelter.
I sewed a C section tape to the edge of the new tent so it could use the existing awning fixture.
I can access my fridge from inside the tent. The way that door opens is the reason I cannot use one of the more convenient awning available on the market. My kids have a batwing and a more conventional awning attached to their cars.
and it doesn't interfere with the solar panel on the roof.
Not sure how much it will be used but it was only $119 (on special) and at least this ensures it can be used.
I used to have an Isuzu Citation. it had 3/4 and 1/4 rear door.
You have my sympathy, released as the Holden Jackaroo here it was overweight and underpowered. The Dmax is a ute rather than an SUV you'd want the MU-X

Looks like it's even got its own washing line Brucy ?
But where's the kitchen sink ??🤗🤗
I like it Bruce. Your update looks better suited to windy weather as well!
Another option could have been making a toilet/shower with your awning
Nice tidy handiwork
