@Generaljake does the job and looks good!
Versatile too in the rain .. apparently 
That’s pretty cool @Generaljake , looks like it provides a decent sheltered area in the rain.
I’ve been thinking about making a mini awning which protrudes about 1m from the side of the van, running from the B pillar to the rear of the van. Really just enough to protect the open door and doorway when raining.
My partner is a bit of an expert with her sewing machine so I just need to build a stable frame and fixing method. I’m planning on going down the suction cup and bendy tent pole route at the moment.
The bit I haven‘t found a solution for is the sealing method for attaching to the roof`.
Has anybody else built anything along these lines?

Yes sorry it works a treat. I’ve not been on the forum for a while. Will dig a photo out and post it.
Hope you don't mind me butting in here, but Funky Leisure Debus Sun Canopy (made by Vango) has Kador connection, and awning pole pole eyelets half way out as well as at outer edges. Should be possible to pitch with short porch and one wall. We haven't tried that out yet, but looks feasible. It might be too big for your purpose though as it 2.4m at van connection and 2.9m at outer edge. It is 3m in length. Lots of colours to choose from including black, or natural in the poly cotton type fabric,.
I've actually just bought a limited edition stitches and steel awning with carbon poles. It's not quite what I was looking size wise, but perfect for my t3 day trips.
The Debus would work well but I'm trying to find one that's 3x3.5/4m 3m along the van lwb. Quite liking the natural look canvas it brings a nice old school vibe.
I'll add some pics once I've got it.
Always good to see pics.......
The poly cotton one is rather nice and only slightly heavier.

I've ordered one of these and 3m kador to stitch along the short end. May be too big, but will see. £62 + £10 for the kador.
They have, sometimes it's what you know not who you know
Ah, ok.....let me know if you know of another please
Yes sorry, it was eBay. Literally had a random look last night and there it was only just listed.Ah, ok.....let me know if you know of another please
If it's of no use to our setup your more than welcome to 1st dibs if you want.
(Very unlikely but you never know)
Ok, yes, do please keep me in mind.....meanwhile - enjoy!
Looks ideal, is that 3x4m?
I’m not sure and can’t find the exact one on Decathlon’s website. Think it’s an earlier version of this one. 2.8m x 2.8m
