If you're thinking about the silver metal ones, try googling 'market stall clamp' - won't let me link to the page I found here.

ah, that's EXACTLY what i was after. my dad was - for a while - a market trader and that's where i associate them with

can you fit a roof rack thingy on the top, fix the tarpoling then use an extendable pole like a washing line pole or have a look here http://www.holdapole.co.uk/sitemap/washing_line.html
Ooops just realized that links for the thingy to hold a pole not the poles themselves - please ignore post!
your van sounds nice - i had an old ambulance for a bit, I didnt take care of it,

I buy a van and he goes and buys another tent.....

It's not a tent - its what they call an 'outside room' on poncey gardening programmes.

Buy a pop up gazebo, alot less faffage.

Also Lidl is doing car offers next Sunday and Aldi is doing camping offers, check out their websites, there might be bits n' bobs you like.

thing with a gazebo is it doesn't resolve this issue of being able to open the doors into it, if that makes sense..
