The peripheral wall has a break therein extending between and through an upper edge and a lower edge of the peripheral wall to define an opening into an enclosure defined by the peripheral wall. Each of a plurality of loops is attached to the upper edge. A support extends through the loops and has a pair of free ends each comprising a hook. A vehicle has a plurality of door windows. Each of the hooks is mounted on one of the windows so that the support extends outwardly from the vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A changing curtain assembly comprising: a peripheral wall comprising a flexible material and having an upper edge and a lower edge, said peripheral wall having a break therein extending between and through an upper edge and a lower edge of said peripheral wall to define an opening into an enclosure defined by said peripheral wall; a plurality of loops, each of said loops being attached to said upper edge; a support extending through said loops and having a pair of free ends each comprising a hook; a panel having top side, at least one coupler being attached to said peripheral wall adjacent to said lower edge and being removably coupled to said top side of said panel; and a vehicle having a plurality of door windows, each of said hooks being mounted on one of said windows wherein said support extends outwardly from said vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said peripheral wall has a height generally between 3 feet and 5 feet. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said peripheral wall includes a first wall, a second wall, a third wall and a fourth wall each being attached together, said first and second walls being positioned opposite of each other, said break being positioned in said first wall. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The assembly according to claim 3, wherein said loops are positioned on said first and second walls and each of said first and second walls has multiple loops attached thereto. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The assembly according to claim 4, wherein each of said loops comprises an elongated flexible flap having a free end being removably attachable to a first side of said flap. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of said loops comprises an elongated flexible flap having a free end being removably attachable to a first side of said flap. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The assembly according to claim 4, wherein said support comprises a pair of rods, each of said rods having a first end and a second end, wherein each of said first ends comprises one of said hooks, wherein a first one of said pair of rods extends along said upper edge of said first wall and a second one of said pair of rods extends along said upper edge of said second wall. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said top side has a surface area greater than 2.0 square feet and less than 16.0 square feet. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, further including a plurality of magnets being mounted on said peripheral wall. ### Claim 10 (depends on 4) The assembly according to claim 4, further including a plurality of magnets being mounted on said peripheral wall, each of said magnets being positioned on said third wall. ### Claim 11 A changing curtain assembly comprising: a peripheral wall comprising a flexible material and having an upper edge and a lower edge, said peripheral wall having a break therein extending between and through an upper edge and a lower edge of said peripheral wall to define an opening into an enclosure defined by said peripheral wall, said peripheral wall having a height generally between 3 feet and 5 feet, said peripheral wall including a first wall, a second wall, a third wall and a fourth wall each being attached together, said first and second walls being positioned opposite of each other, said break being positioned in said first wall; a plurality of magnets being mounted on said peripheral wall, each of said magnets being positioned on said third wall; a plurality of loops, each of said loops being attached to said upper edge, said loops being positioned on said first and second walls wherein each of said first and second walls has multiple loops attached thereto, each of said loops comprising an elongated flexible flap having a free end being removably attachable to a first side of said flap; a support extending through said loops and having a pair of free ends each comprising a hook, said support comprising a pair of rods, each of said rods having a first end and a second end, wherein each of said first ends comprises one of said hooks, wherein a first one of said pair of rods extends along said upper edge of said first wall and a second one of said pair of rods extends along said upper edge of said second wall; a vehicle having a plurality of door windows, each of said hooks being mounted on one of said windows such that said rods extend outwardly from said vehicle; and a panel having top side, at least one coupler being attached to said peripheral wall adjacent to said lower edge and being removably coupled to said top side of said panel, said top side having a surface area greater than 2.0 square feet and less than 16.0 square feet. ### Claim 12 A changing curtain assembly comprising: a peripheral wall comprising a flexible material and having an upper edge and a lower edge, said peripheral wall having a break therein extending between and through an upper edge and a lower edge of said peripheral wall to define an opening into an enclosure defined by said peripheral wall, said peripheral wall including a first wall, a second wall, a third wall and a fourth wall each being attached together, said first and second walls being positioned opposite of each other, said break being positioned in said first wall; a plurality of loops, each of said loops being attached to said upper edge, said loops being positioned on said first and second walls and each of said first and second walls has multiple loops attached thereto;
