Appreciate it! This setup was pieced together from a few items but the principle is fairly simple...
You want to make an A Frame configuration using a couple tarp poles and then use cord for tying out the corners with ground stakes.
This is what I used:
Tarp Poles
Tarp
Something else to consider is getting a tarp and a couple of extendable poles. I got these when they were on sale for $25 (Amazon Link). Setup is fairly easy and just have to use guy ropes on each corner to hold it down, but takes up significantly less space than the 10x10 folding one. I usually attach one side to my roof rack, but I have 4 poles so I can move it around and make it stand alone. All-in was just under $100 so about the same cost as a bigger canopy.
I bought 2 sets of these: https://www.amazon.com/Green-Elephant-Telescoping-Tarp-Poles/dp/B072K1B91Q

I feel like strapping it to my roof rack and using the adjustable poles, one set halfway along the length and the other 2 at the end will give me many configurations. I can raise it high and then low for shade when sleeping inside the vehicle. A 20' long tarp should also allow me to stake it to the ground and run the tarp up and over my vehicle like a cacoon and still extend 10' or so. My roof rack should allow airflow between the tarp and vehicle kinda like a palapa works. Haven't used it yet, but seems like the most flexible way of having many configurations while storing very easily.
