I would never use one ever. tipping over, heat from the engine, gross place to be, crappy shelter anyway.
It's not that hard or expensive to set up a complete tarp or even carry a legitimate tent/bivy.
They have acceptable shelter tarps on Amazon and MSR has great poles for the Cost of of beers and dinner.

Just experimenting for the time being. My 2.5kg tent would suffice, but I want to see about roughing it with the bivi bag for the first time in years. A tarp is just an extra, so it’s more about whether a 3x3 is a better size to set up proper.
As far as options for purchase, I have oodles of ripstop material so I’m keen to DIY for now.
