In this video I go over how to cheaply and easily make an awning that attaches to the side of a vehicle. This type of awning is great for some shade or for protection from rain. It will work on any van, SUV, or car that has roof rack rails in place.

And in case you're wondering, the tarp was about $10 and purchased from the camping section in Walmart.

This is a great setup regardless of whether you're vandwelling, living in a van or other vehicle, SUV RVing, or road tripping.
