Abstract
A canopy may be mounted on the luggage rack of the vehicle by a pair of brackets. The canopy may be fitted on nearly any luggage rack by adjusting the placement of the brackets. The canopy is enclosed by an enclosure, and rolls up onto a carriage in the enclosure. To erect the canopy, the bag is unzipped, the canopy is extended, and aluminum support posts are extended to support the canopy. The canopy is supported along its sides by a pair of rafters that are similarly extended. The canopy provides shelter and protection when it is needed, and is easily stored in its enclosure for transport.
