enclosure around the door of the teardrop

We need ideas for a enclosure around the teardrop door so we can stand up to get dress. As basic as a umbrella or as complicated as a ?


Thanks,

Here's what I've done. 10 yards of cloth, hand full of snaps, a couple of polls and straps and wala it's up in less than a minute. Also, all sides roll up.

Have a good day.

Wow, that's a great idea. Nice design, especially the rolling-up sides. Do the sides snap together when they are unrolled? Do the poles go through the fabric on the bottom?

I am thinking that something really inexpensive and useful would be one of those made with white tarp (nice stuff, I made sails out of it), carpet tape and a few grommets. It would have roll-upsides , be cool and keep it dry by the door in the rain.

Oh my gosh, listen to me. I haven't even unpacked the trailer yet

Gage, It looks real cool. Its close to what I had in mind. What kind of fabric did you use and did you you a regular sewing machine?
