Thanks for reaching out Stephen. The Napier Backroadz SUV Tent # NA59FR is listed by the manufacturer as a universal fit for SUVs, CUVs, and minivans. However, there are still some important fitment considerations, especially with a larger vehicle like your Chevy Express.

Napier states that the # NA59FR can also work with larger vehicles and even enclosed trailers as long as the opening falls within these limits:

Maximum height: 80" from the ground to the highest point of the opening
Maximum circumference: 210" around the opening

If either measurement exceeds those limits, the tent's vehicle sleeve will not be large enough to properly wrap around and secure to the vehicle. With your Express, I would be more concerned about the height than the overall size of the rear opening. I'd recommend measuring from the ground straight up to the highest point of the rear opening and making sure you're at or below that 80-inch maximum. I checked and all of the Napier branded tents use the same vehicle sleeve so fitment would be dictated by the measurements above.

How would you plan to use the tent space when pairing it with your Express?
