Toyota used to offer, in some countries, a tent to mate to the hatch. There are a couple of aftermarket companies that still offer generic hatchback tents.

I just did a quick search on this, and didn't find much that was helpful.

This is actually of some interest to me. I'll be moving shortly into a wilderness area; where living in normal quarters is quite expensive. Camping out in the summer has a lot to recommend it.

Anyone got links? I like especially the tent tied to the hatch; that the car air conditioning can be used in hot weather. Sure, you'd have to get some piping to route the exhaust away; that's a minor nuisance.

Expensive as idling the car would be, that would be nothing to the $1500 lease-less rent I'll be looking at until I get established.
