I'm looking for a used SUV tent to fit the Element. Haven't had any luck on ebay or web searches... only new stuff. Any suggestions?

No longer looking for a used tent, I bought a new SUV tent from Amazon.com. We are heading out soon for a big trip with some camping.. Florida, Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, and back home to PA.

Take lots of pics, please! And don't forget a tarp for the tent tunnel (and more coverage if it's a really bad storm)

Good luck!

Just ran across this, and laughed.

BMW Air Camper: One Killer Campfire Marshmallow

Here at WINDING ROAD, our art department has an almost fetishistic obsession for Intersection Magazine (http://www.intersectionmagazine.com/), a UK quarterly that orbits somewhere between high fashion and automotive life.
The publication was apparently able to cajole BMW into building the ‘Air Camper’ seen above. Tied into the launch of BMW’s 1-series a couple of years ago, this is the first time we’d seen the inflatable domicile, so we thought we’d pass it on.
The unique item attaches to the back end of the car, allowing campers to make use of the inside of the car, and is inflated is by a low-voltage fan hooked up to the car’s cigarette lighter. All-in, the Air Camper can accommodate two people.
Us? We think this pneumatic Stay-Puft thing is pretty neat… certainly cooler than the camping attachment that Pontiac offered for the Aztek (http://news.windingroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/aztek-camper.jpg) (the black-only tent failed miserably in what could’ve been its biggest potential contribution– covering up the car’s hideous form altogether).

I can see the Aztek is going to be the Pacer of the 00s. But really, it's unfair to compare the cabana style tailgate cover to a freestanding SUV tent--or the marshmallow.
