Tailgate awning

Just seen these on the facebook page as we do quite a bit of wild camping and thought this would be ideal to house the toilet and shower, I was wondering if they are any good? How Much?

We have one that came with the van but we've never used it.
The tailgate has to be left open which raises security questions if you leave the van or possibly even if you are sleeping in it.
It's not convenient as you can't get into it from the van so if using it to house the loo it means getting out of the van and going round the back.
OK in the summer when it's warm but in winter it's going to let cold air in.
Personally I think it's better to have a small freestanding loo tent which can be left if you take the van out for the day, probably cheaper as well.
