I have been looking at the pop top rear door awning with walls supplied by Adelaide annex and caravans.
Does anyone have feed back on this?

If we had any idea of what Adelaide annex and canvas produce, we may be able to give a meaningful answer. Also, I guess that you mean a van with the door on the rear wall, a lot of manufacturers refer to a door on the side down the rear end of that wall as a rear door van.

I also am unfamiliar with Adelaide Annex - Generally "Canvas" awnings are pretty robust and therefore heavy and cumbersome to put up, meaning that they only tend to be assembled when you are staying in the same place for an extended period of time.
Personally, we use a standard Dometic rollout awning and attach lightweight mesh privacy screens when required.

Why not have a look at a Batwing awning or similar that is usually used by 4wd's

Graham, do the bat wings come with walls? The OP desires them.

The Eclipse 270° Awning brings next-level shade to your 4WD camping setup. Offering a huge 11.5m² of instant cover, it spans the full length of your vehicle, then wraps around to the rear, giving you greater cover than a straight awning. Designed for an easy one-person set up, the unit is freestanding during set up and pack down. The heavy-duty alloy swivel hinge system holds the entire kit up while you extend and tension the awning arms and release the three pivoting alloy telescopic leg poles stowed along the rafters. Attach the final leg poles and you'll be under cover in a matter of minutes. The awning is made from premium 320gsm ripstop polycotton canvas and has an impressive PU 1500mm water rating plus seam sealing that will keep you dry in extended rainy conditions. The kit also includes a removable, heavy-duty 600gsm PVC cover for protection when you're on the road. The box-tube alloy arm system is light, strong and built to last. Available in left or right-hand side mount configurations (Australian passenger or driver side), you can put one on the car, on the camp trailer or the shed â your options are endless. With multiple wall panels to choose from (sold separately), you can set up one as a wind and weather break or add them all for a whopping 20.5m2 of shelter around your vehicle. The included mounting brackets suit most commercially available flat roof rack or steel basket set ups. Make sure to check the weight rating and suitability of your roof rack and vehicle with appropriate manufacturers prior to purchase. We recommend professional installation through your local 4WD centre or ask your DARCHE dealer for advice about installation.
