Rear tents for panel vans with swing doors: Which one fits best?

Panel vans offer plenty of comfort in a compact footprint. However, on rainy days or during longer stays, you often wish for a bit more space to move around. A **rear tent for swing doors** is the simplest and cheapest way to significantly increase your living space.

### Why a special rear tent for barn doors is important
Many rear tents are designed for tailgates that swing upwards. For panel vans with two rear doors (e.g., Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer), tents are needed that are stretched over the open doors.

### Popular designs compared:
* **Pole-framed rear tents**: Cheap and stable, but require a little more setup time.
* **Inflatable air rear tents**: Simply placed over the rear doors and inflated. Extremely wind-resistant and quick to set up.
* **Hang-in tents**: These are attached directly to the inside of the doors, perfect as a quick privacy screen (e.g. for a shower).
