Awning for the back of my GX470

I am looking for an awning. 4.5-5 feet long that is VERY simple to deploy. Ideally no legs and self supported for the back of my truck. THe GX has the swing door and so ther eis no protection form rain or sun in the back of the truck. Ideally it would be a canister type awning (vs a bag) i would be able to grab the end of the awning or crank it out and have full coverage of the bake of the truck. without poles.

I have a plan to make one but i would much rather just buy it...anyone got idea?

Fiamma makes a 150cm long one but it looks like its impossible to get.

The swing door on the GX might get in the way, but it's perhaps worth looking at the Shady Boy awning:

A bit bigger than you want, but the "no legs" preference is a bit of a problem, so I don't have another suggestion.

Good luck. I've been using a silicon nylon tarp off the back of my truck along with a couple of extending tent poles. I'd be eager for a poleless solution.
