Does anyone have a recommendation for a car show shade tent / canopy that could possibly fit in the trunk of a Volante? (~36" x 10" x 14" opening) This would widen up the likelihood of my attending some local get togethers, if I could shade the Princess. And as my wife would retort, the car, too.

Cheers,
Chris

 

 

Well the winds were too high and the parking lot at the car show didn't allow me to stake down a shade canopy. I tried the 12'x12' Coleman Point Loma dome tent. It easily fit in the tiny boot, as it seems all of these extended-pole tent-like canopies do. (The easy deploy truss designs won't) As can be seen in the pic it fit in the trunk, but a couple concerns remain. This design doesn't have big enough openings for a car to poke very well out of. Maybe the 15'x15' will fit and help. Maybe I can figure out away of elevating this thing a few feet. I'll also likely try Henry's REI Kelty Shelter too, although at 10'x10' it's a tad cozy to put over the car?

We enjoyed our first showing but are sunburned as predicted.

12'x12' Coleman Point Loma fits, but wasn't usable on the lot and I'd like to try larger or higher.
