Hmm...  Are you also buying a trailer to carry it?  ;-)
I would imagine that it will be HUGE when rolled up and packed away.

After years of fiddling with "poor man's awnings" and such, I have decided
that a nice Fiamma awning is in my Syncro's future...  Spending the first
hour at every camp site (X two people) setting up canopies/awnings gets old
on a two week trip...   ;-)
