Another option may be to buy a pop up tent.

If you do; get one with an inner tent as the single skin ones will drop condensation onto the person in it.

We bought the Quecha one from Decathlon

If you go for the tall annexe make sure it is put at the back. If you put at the front it tends to obstruct the view when sitting at the front of the van. I use the bedroom annexe at the front (see my photo gallery).

We've had Dorema ones on our awnings for years Boozy, they're very good with the inner sleeping compartments. We use ours to store the sleeping stuff from the inside beds in during the day which is handy.

If you're going to buy one off Ebay etc, my advice is to make certain the pitch of the zip on it matches that of your awning. A call to Dorema would sort that out for you, they've always been very helpful to me when I've called them.

I've got an Apache porch awning with tall annex and new bedroom inner for sale. :-)

Might be worth you considering and selling yours.
