Welcome aboard.

You could reverse Bongy near to the door of the tent then use the tailgate for weather protection. Perhaps add a windbreak on the blowy side.

Not completely joined, but easy to use for days out. :D

That depends on the type of tent opening
Maybe figure of 8 strip
Or gaffa tape

thanks
do you think clipping a piece of tarp between the bongo and tent would work?

Don't see why not. As Gasy says, a figure of eight strip and some clips on the tent, perhaps.

I might take it down in high winds.

I've got an army poncho / groundsheet I tiewrap to fixings under aft above side door and have 2 telescopic clothes line props and some guy ropes , works great

You could put other side to tent poles no need for clothes props

But if your tent has the big front door awning type fig 8 would fix that to van side gutters

Roll a pole into tent flap then clip to gutter or hooks under elevating roof.
