Sorry, but my first thought is...M.A.S.H.

Having lived under canvas, I agree with ColdNoMore. Too much like M*A*S*H.

I took the route of villagetinker and selected sun reducing screening. You can put lighter screening on the sides, to facilitate seeing out, and darker screening on the top to block more of the sunlight.

Enjoy.
