Hmm... Are you also buying a trailer to carry it? ;-) I would imagine that it will be HUGE when rolled up and packed away.

After years of fiddling with "poor man's awnings" and such, I have decided that a nice Fiamma awning is in my Syncro's future... Spending the first hour at every camp site (X two people) setting up canopies/awnings gets old on a two week trip... ;-)
