Default Car awning

Looking for an awning unit, the type that fits against and over the open tailgate of the car. Doesn't seem to be a great deal to choose from, anyone used or recommend one without being a bank breaker lol. Not for camping in, more for a changing area, shelter etc.

You're correct, there aren't too many about. I believe that Khyam make one and a number of Campervan manufacturers offer them eg. Sussex Campervans, Wellhouse, and Lunar initially offered one with their Vacanza (now Camper Car ) model. Failing that, just buying a freestanding 'toilet tent' might suit.
We used a side-mounted Khyam Motorhome with our camper and motorhome, but in the end we got so fed up with attaching/detaching all the time that we ended up just using it as a stand alone tent.

Pacman67, I have seen them advertised, but it was years ago. It might be worth asking in a fishing tackle shop, maybe angler's use something like them?

Edit!!! Found these:-

http://www.a2zcamping.co.uk/multi-pu...l-shelter.html Very reasonable price!!

The best type you can get are for rv patio awning cover for cars and rv's. They are very reliable and good quality.
