Look at getting a mesh tarp as a ground sheet to help protect the tent floor and to give you a ground cover for the extension. Kings 4x4 do a cost effective one.
I also have an awning fitted to the roof rack which is magic. It's an Ali-cab which is wickedly expensive but it is self supporting and needs no poles. This makes it ready quick to deploy and pack away agin if you are stopping for lunch and need shade or rain cover. It does have one pole built in and tie downs on watch corner if the wind is really blowing. Integrates well with the RV5 giving huge camping space..

Great info, really helpful - thanks
