Thanks StevenGoodman, I even have those snow tarps you are talking about....with the holes to allow airflow.....I think that's how i'll extend the awning.

Thanks Absolut Jeenyus....but I'm wondering how the tent would perform without a structure like that. I've done the carport+tent thing before and it did work well, but I'd rather not have to set up both this year so I'm wondering if the Kodiak canvas tents are good enough alone.

How do these canvas tents hold up in the early morning sunshine and heat? Do they do a resonable job of staying cool with the flaps and windows closed?

What about when the flaps or windows are open, do the extra windows matter?
