Abstract
A quick setup canopy apparatus is configured for use at the end of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a pair of base plate units adapted to be anchored by the weight of respective vehicle wheels. Each of the base plate units has a respective support member pivotally connected thereto. An arcuate web support frame is connected to distal ends of the support members in cantilevered fashion. A flexible web material is maintained on the web support frame to provide a covered canopy region underneath. Preferably, the framework of the apparatus comprises a plurality of telescopically connected rod elements to permit storage in a relatively small volume.
