How would this work for a SUV rear shelter?

It is strong enough and very easy to pack. My only reservation is: Is it large enough for you? Measure something you have and put up two poles and see if it is sufficient for your needs.

Its very durable...it would work fine...but you may want to look into a vehicle specific unit for a custom fit.

I have an SUV and have no problems at all. It folds up without touching the vehicle.

I lam not sure if you r question is if the SUV tent works with a roof rack ? I don't know. I bought one for my RToyota Sienna. The roof rack did interfere with the closure at top but I dont think that it would have fit anyhow. I put the Tent on once and returned it. It did not fit well around the sides or bottom. I returned it and the seller was gracious about refunding... I purchased a Tail Vail and it works beautifully and provides much more space.. All this unit seems to do is allow you to leave the tail open while you sleep.

The Coleman sports quite a lot of nylon stretched over a fairly light weight frame. A thunder storm last year with high wind gusts was enough to bend and break some of the steel supports, including one of the poles. I don't know for sure, but I expect any similarly designed shelter would fare the same. I would recommend staking the corner poles and adding the staked support lines off each corner of any of these devices.

Considering that there is no floor, nor do the sides come down and `seal' the unit from moisture, we cannot recommend this usage for any of our auto shelters. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

We have an SUV and just use the back. There is a tailgate latch that the ramp fastens to give it stability. Not sure about using back seat car door.

If you put carpeting over the wrap to protect it, it may work. It could start to break down if exposed to constant beating like one could imagine would happen if you are getting stuff in and out of your trunk.

Indeed! We have a van and it would have been nice. But we couldn't figure out a good way to do it.Maybe you should just have 2 tents and put them together! Someone said it works great. We did attach a tarp from the tent to the van for a rain fly type of connection. It didn't rain so I don't know how it would work.

I would have to say no. strictly a car cover. not enough height on the sides to cover an suv.

It depends on the type of roof rack you have. If you only have rails without cross supports it may not work. My son just tried to use it on his Subaru Forester that has only rails running from front to back and he was concerned that the load would slide off without cross bars. The straps are substantial and will hold the bag down, but i also bought a cargo net with hooks to go over the bag. If the bag id going to ride on the top surface of the car and not on a rack, then i would suggest you also purchase a non-slip pad to go between the bag and the vehicle surface to help hold the bag in place and protect the vehicle's finish.

I bought it for use as a barrier between the front seats of my van to prevent the dogs from entering the front area. Don't know if it would work for the back. It didn't work for my full size GM van and I had to return it.

I just checked it. The straps that hold it in place can be slipped out allowing you to fold the piece down or under. I've never done it because my dog slips her head through the sides of that panel to get to AC. But your idea is better... It will work as suggested allowing that area to remain open. (I never did it because she, the dog, has a tendency to back seat drive then by attempting to join us in front seat!).

I don't have a cover, but since the ladder is mounted a couple of inches below the top edge of the tailgate and not knowing how a cover fits at the tailgate, I would guess that it would work O.K.

I don't think it will work as the suctions on the bottom need to have an even flat surface, and I'm not sure if that will be possible right behind your front seats. I have a hard enough time keeping it stable and upright in the back of my SUV where the floor is fairly even.

If you put it in a side door, the ramp would sit at quite a slant, not good. Its really designed for a rear open vehicle like a SUV. I have a jeep 4x4. Our 2 boxers and golden retriever shoot in and out using the ramp safely. The golden weighs 130 pounds and its still secure.

There is a compatibility chart on the saris website for makes and models. This rack is for cars with a trunk. They should have one for SUVs. Great product.

I don't think it would work well. And the entire system is secured to the vehicle with straps that go through the car. With soft top there would seem to be weak points that could comprise the integrity of the rack and car top.
