One aunt travelling in the back of the vehicle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonneau

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'back of the vehicle' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one aunt travelling' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'aunt'='oneaunt'
'oneaunt' anagrammed gives 'TONNEAU'.

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
