I would be very wary of using a tarp of any type,... first of all most are very reflective, shine a torch on a tarp at night and see, even under a camo net,.. all camo should be none reflective, plus the tarp would collect water and will upset the shape that you need to remain hidden
Also, its no good just throwing a tarp/net/anything over something and hope to hide it,.. the item you are trying to hide needs to blend in,.. if there are no green humps in the area dont look like a green hump, you will be seen, good camo never touches what you are trying to hide, if its a vehicle, you may need to drive out in a hurry.
Change the shape of the camo, carry it on further than the vehicle,... think about the surroundings and your backdrop, carfull not to skyline yourself...... brown camo is no good against green fields, and green camo is no good in woods,... neither is any good in winter when the snow is down
Think about where you park up, use hollows in the ground if possible, then use your net from ground to ground without touching the vehicle.
Also think about the ground you have covered before you stopped, the best camo in the world will be no good if you have muddy wheel tracks leading to the vehicle
