Van Life tutorial: Easy screen room and rain fly for hatch backs. TailVeil installed by one person. 

One of the best setup thus far. This tent will help protect you with mosquitoes, flies or any other bugs especially if you OFF-GRID camping in the deep woods. Thanks for sharing from your new outdoor adventure friend 🙂

Love this! ❤️ I have seen these before, but this is the first actual step by step tutorial. I also think your furbabies on their cooling blanket are adorable. 😍🤗 Thanks. And enjoy you week! 😊

I’m at the camp site right now and my Tail Veil is in its bag. I camp alone and I was afraid to set it up and look foolish. So I’m in my van watching your video and now I’m excited to put it up. I’m going for a swim and plan to put it up when I get back!! Thanks for the helpful video!!

This is a great Tutorial. The TailVeil looks easy to use and at a good price.

Super! Thx for showing from beginning to end! I'm so glad you get a little bump for sharing where you get camping items!

Great tutorial!! Visual aids and methodical instructions, just right for me to get it. Rain fly makes for privacy, nice.

The TailVeil looks like a very nice product and thank you for showing us how easy it is to set up. It's the perfect size for you and your dogs. I like the fact that you can close the hatch without detaching it from the car. I am seriously thinking about getting one. Thanks again.

i think this is the perfect solution to travel light. thanks for the video.

We got a tailveil for our camping adventure at the High Sierra Music Fest and LOVE it!

That's GREAT for a hatch back vehicle. Thanks so much Jan for all your sharing & teaching. Still dreaming of finding my van & traveling camping some. I really MUST get myself out in NATURE more ASAP !

Like you I started from sitting and watching. I've learned TONS and it's time for baby steps. I must have watched hundreds of videos and I have NEVER seen anyone get the subscribership that you have in such a short time!! It's a credit to the quality of your presentations and your straightforward and honest commentary. I love your voice, and I love how you convey your insights about and your sensitivity to the world around you.

I haven't tested it yet but I've heard that, in hot weather, if you spray the outside of the tent with water, the evaporation will significantly lower the temperature. If you're chilling in a breeze, this will work nicely. Lil something for after the winter. Love the vids! Bb

GREAT IDEA THANKS

Thanks for sharing your find from Amazon. Been enjoying your pretty relaxing journey north. Such beauty. Safe travels.

Used it now for several years. Easy 5 minutes set up. Stuffing bag on the old model was a bit small and was replaced by a small duffel.

I was looking for a tent like this today and tonight here is your video. Thank you. I love how you explain everything. You are so pleasant

Thanks for this tutorial Jan! This is going to be much needed for me and my 3 pups!

What a great tent! I love that the pups can relax outside in the shade too. They are adorable! I like that it has a rain fly on it and bug screens all around. Well worth the price I’m sure. I have a dog too, his name is Beau and he is an 85lb Standard Poodle.

I had a Ford Explorer 2000 - and no way to shut off lights when the back hatch was open - battery would run down. Always check you vehicle to make sure you can shut off the overhead lights when the hatch is open. Nice find with the tent.

That looks like a very nice screen room for the back of an SUV. Thanks for the video.

That is one of the easiest tents set ups I have every seen. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job

Very nice little tent to have a nice outside area. You did a great job with the tutorial on how to put it up. Thx ! I like it!

Simple for us older people

Hi jan, just what I've been looking for. Ur idea of its use on concrete was helpful. Of

Thank you so much for sharing this tent with us. It looks just perfect!

BRILLIANT!

I like the tent. That would be so handy.

Awe you dogs are precious!❤ Love the tail tent ⛺️

Very cool! Well worth 200$ and simple to put up. Thanks.

How cute

That looks really handy. I have a Napier Sports Cove, which turns the hatch into a tent door with screen, and provides an awning beyond the hatch to sit under, but it does not make the screen room that the Tail Veil makes. So, it's a different animal, really. The similarity is that it fits over the hatch.

Good morning Jan 🙋‍♀️ Enjoyed your video, love this tent, great information on how to assemble step-by-step ❤️❤️😊 Thanks for sharing ❤️😊 Have a great day ❤️😊

Hello, fabulous idea for you and the dogs. Alittle room and privacy goes along way to keeping a smile. I love your purchase . Thanks for sharing with others because if people are living on the road this will diffently bring joy. Love and hugs from your Aussie nomad friends ❤️🤗❤️🤗

Great addition

Shared this video. I was just talking with someone about a screen for their van, and this would be perfect!

Pups are so stinkin cute 😍

Good tutorial too BTW. Kudos for showing the rain fly and it's versatility. :-)

Thank you I've been thinking about one of these. That is something I will purchase one day

I really like that I just don’t have my hatchback anymore but I would definitely get one I almost think you’d be a wonderful gift for somebody living in their car with a hatchback

That thing is pretty slick Jan! Always good to see you Jan. You look well. Safe travels

Super tour!! I have been wondering if this would work for me. You have done a superior explanation for the Tail Veil! Thank you!

Hi Jan, I am in Canada and also have this Tail Veil for my DGC . It is so very east to put up. I didn't like the plastic floor in hot weather, I found it too hot. Soooo, Not being able to find a carpet to fit properly I bought a Moving Blanket ( the type Movers wrap around furniture for protection. They come in different sizes, I got the 6' x 6' size. They are quilted and water resistant cotton. Reasonably priced, in Canadian funds in our Canadian Tire store mine was $24.95. This store is equivalent to Walmart minus produce. When not in use I just fold it up and it fits to sit on my passengers seat making an extra cushion. So sorry I don't have any pictures to show you. I am wondering what others use on the floor. Happy and safe travels. ❤❤❤

Wow, thanks for this! Just what I need for next summer.

Thanks for the good advice. That would be handy for many situations. I'm glad I found your channel. Lots of amazing ladies and very helpful hints and tips

So many interesting products for people to try. 😊

I'm looking at buying this for my SUV conversion. I think it would add to my camping experience. Thanks for the review!

I have a Tail Veil and it is great. I love your idea of using a windshield shade to protect from the sun. I think that I have an earlier version because mine doesn't have the extra antibug flap - which is a great idea. I have a Nissan Rogue and the hatch is a bit small for the Tail Veil so it sags a trifle, but it does work very well.

Wow, Jan, thanks so much for your research. Excellent extension to the van and great seating area. So glad you are following your goals. Have you seen "Sailing Uma"? Motto: "Don't buy a couch". We a;; should throw out our couches & recliners! Be well & safe!

Very cool!

My favorite is that this is a RU-vid video but she made it a slide show presentation

Love this! I’ve seen it before, but not how to set it up. Good information! Enjoyed the video

Thank you. I've been thinking about one of these.

Definitely getting one, Great tutorial ..thank you

Thanks for the link. Great tutorial.

That is a great tent Jan it fits perfect in your car. this will be good for the summer so you can be outside more. enjoy your weekend.

Great Idea! Now you can relax with your fur babies and not be in the elements for a while. Seems relaxing

Thank you souch

That is perfect! Learning so much from you😊

Looks like easy set up on that tent! I’ve seen some more difficult. Good ideas

I bought one for my Prius . Works great!

Thank you for doing this. I’ve been trying to decide what kind of extra room I want.

And you have more room. 😁 Very nice.

Thank you, thank you so much, awesome job and solution! Love your videos! Cute doggies 🥰

Thanks for the review of this tent. I might get one for my van later on

I have been looking for something like this. Great to see you be able to put it up by yourself. Also feel that you will be honest about how it works. Thank you.

keep up the good work! love content like this!!

It’s Ingenious!

That is so cool, I love it ❤️🌹

I have one and LOVE IT! I live in my van but if I camp It gives me a nice “screen room”. And I can do it myself.

Love it

They are wonderful, I have something similar for my Toyota Hiace hi top campervan.

Thank you for this information.

I would love the link for your dog cooling mat. 😊

I love this little tent thing. I can't believe you put hat up by yourself. Do you leave it up all night or do you take it down at night? Looks like you are having a great time. 👏

That's great so easy . Will have try follow that link

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I love this!

Perfect! Thanks for the idea

❤Great😎

Thank you for sharing this. I’m hoping to try and do some car camping in my Kia Soul. I’ve been looking at numerous RU-vid videos at the different suv tent and this is the first one I’ve seen that looks like it would be easy for me to do. I’m almost 72 so I’m not as agile or as strong as I once was. If I do this it’ll be later in the fall since our Texas heat has been so bad. Do you have a video showing how you have your sleeping area in your vehicle and how you set up your campsite outside? Thanks .

Great video

Thank you so much for this, very informative. I bought something similar for my Honda Fit a few years ago but am yet to use it because I've read with some vehicles, leaving the hatchback up/open for long periods of time will run down the battery because,even though the interior light goes out, there are still some internal processes running. I was afraid of possibly ending up with a dead battery in the middle of the woods so I've put off using it. You haven't had that issue?

Goodness, your doggies are so adorable...I just can't, lol. I'm still catching up on all your videos, so I am not sure if you've done solo boon-docking. Would you be comfortable using this in that situation? Or is this just something you can use when in a group/caravan setting? If I got this, I would have to disengage my hatch lights because they come on automatically. I'm sure there's a simple way of doing that, but I'm quite challenged with anything automotive. PS. I'm mesmerized by your beautiful blue eyes! (so jealous, lol) :D

Anyone know if this would work over the tailgate of a small truck. I have a ford maverick with a Snugtop cap/camper shell. I need something to extend my sleeping space as it is so small that it’s very uncomfortable! Thanks!

Now that you've used this awhile, how does it hold up in the wind? Ivy found many times it's toooooo windy and dusty to cook off my Honda's tailgate, particularly in the desert.

Link for the cooling blanket for your sweet fur babies?

Awesome! I have been looking for a simple version of this. Are you able to leave it attached and close the hatchback at night? or does it have to be removed first?

I am leaning toward buying it, but have no roof rails...did you attach it to the roof? Or is that unnecessary?

Interesting tent. But if you want to go somewhere, you have to take it all down, right?

Would you put up the link for the magnets you use, please. I got magnets but they were the wrong kind. Thanks

Someone told me that I couldn't keep my hatch open for very long.. apparently you have not had your battery drain... Is there some switch or what?

I want this. Do you sleep with van door up? If not does it lower without getting tangled in the net. I see this is 5 months ago. Do you still use it?

I clicked on the link. There was nothing about the brand, TailVeil. Did Amazon stopped selling TailVeil and replaced it with a knock-off?

Jan do you have a P.O. Box yet? this way you can get mail wherever you for. also, show us your two little dogs more often thank you.

It's been 5 months since you posted this video. Can you tell me if you still like the TailVeil? Do you wish it were bigger? Also, I'm wondering if the slanted screen gets in the way if you have a table there or if you are sitting there. I really like the large screen area and the rainfly, but I'm considering getting something a little bigger. I can't make up my mind!

Thank you for the video. I just have a question. When the hatch is in the open position and you step away from your vehicle for a minute, can a critter creep into your car? I just saw a video about a wolf spider getting into a woman’s car. How do you keep critters from checking-in?

I'm thinking of getting a Tail Veil for my SUV. Are you still happy with it?

Nice tent but the link doesn’t send me to the Canadian Amazon site so I can’t give you your affiliate benefit.

Have you had any rips or leaking when it rains?
