Anyone got one of these or any recommendations for something similar?

Looking for something that is quick to put up & take down, just for a little more dry space (or shelter from the sun) for the kids.

We have very similar one shown in the first of your pictures. It is extremely lightweight but also very tough. It's called a caravan foyer.

I fitted a caravan awning rail to my Devon roof to give extra clearance to the covers roof height.
It is 2mtrs long and fitted with UV plastic windows. When erected it can be rolled up at the front or, add a windbreak at each end for an enclosed awning.

We've got one of those. There are some photos of it in action (so to speak) in our Garage section on here. It has worked pretty well so far. The only thing with them is rain puddles on the roof of it, even though I fitted an awning rail further up on our hi-top in the hope of preventing this. It needs an additional pole / clothes line prop in the middle of it to stop this happening IMO.

Looking for: window apertures for side windows, at the back of the van

we've got this one, takes less than 10 mins to pop up but gives you protection from the wind and a bit of privacy when you need it?
