I’m thinking of maybe a combination of a tent and that Dutch rear tent gadget (Amascador) ? then gaining extra length with the rear tailgate down. Possibly hoops and tarp then extending down to the rear tailgate, that should give you the best part of two metres or so.

Thats a very easy solution! I am buying the canvas to my original hoops and wood splats as we speak so. Hmm

Have a look at how much extra length you would gain from having the tailgate down. Ask the person that’s making up your canvas, if they could incorporate something like the Amascador. Possibly use it while on camping trips then reverse it when using as a crew cab with truck and have the extra canvas up behind the cab when using it for any other thing. Or possibly an add on extra section from the last hoop down to the tailgate.

That's a good idea, some kind of zip-on attachment with a simple folding frame....
