You could just run it open, like a wing over a pickup bed, even though it's sub-optimal; but the carbon monoxide and the base pressure pulling on everything in the interior are reasons not to.
I bought marine plastic off of e-bay for a reasonable price, they just require you to purchase at least 140 square feet.
