Versatility Camping Tent for Truck Bed,SUV RVing, Van,Trailer and Overlanding Portable Teardrop Awning Canopy Tear Resistant Tarp with 2 Sandbag

Love this thing - perfect on my teardrop camper. I rarely use the poles and just have the other end staked in the ground - creates privacy this way and since I’m only 5’1” it works perfectly for me set up this way. I’ve been in rain storms and had my electric bike completely sheltered by this awesome product. Use it every time now and it’s simple and quick to set up. Quality has held up / suction cups absolutely suck so plan to get better ones or use strong magnets.

This awning saved our recent week of offroad camping. It works really well as designed but we used it on the ground sideways (like a curved wall) to block the cold wind as we huddled around an LP firepit. Once staked down, it can handle an impressive amount of wind. I only wish we'd had another one to block the wind from 2 sides!It goes together in about 2 minutes and back down just as quick. It packs away nicely in a small bag. I replaced the cheapo guyline ropes with 550 cord and I haven't messed with the suction cups. I love the versatility.This trip wasn't the first time we used it but with a little creativity it really shined on a couple of cold, windy nights. Every other member of our group vowed to get one of their own before our next adventure.

In some of the places where I camp, especially at beaches, there there can be a lot of wind. It happens especially when we want to cook! I got it for a wind block - you can see how I pitch it against the camper, with one end right on the ground. I haven't tried pitching it with the poles. In this configuration there is a surprising amount of room under it. Some advice: Try to assemble this before the wind starts. Even with two people it is a handful. Assemble the two long poles and insert the ends into the corners. Then clip the hooks onto it. You can't slide the poles through the hooks because they have thick ferrules. When disassembling, you can't slide the pole out because the ferrules catch and the pole comes apart. The outside poles are stabilized at the peak with ties. This is difficult because the ties aren't long enough. The inner pole also has a tie, but it is too short. The two short ends of the tent are not the same. The longer end goes up against the truck (or over the car in some configurations). The shorter end goes down on the ground, or is held up by the heavier poles provided. I tried short loops of rope to the grommets near the ground because my stakes won't fit through the grommets. The supplied stakes are worthless in my opinion. The window at the short end is a mystery. If you are blocking wind, it will let it through. The same goes for blocking sun or rain.Gripes, etc.: The fabric color is not very dense. In bright sun it lets a lot of heat through. There is a little mesh rectangle that can be hung inside at the apex of the tent for storage. Confusingly, they call it a "string bag". Two rectangular bags with Velcro attachments are supplied, but not explained. I think they could be sand bags for use on the beach, but I don't see any place to attach them. Two suction cups are supplied. I haven't used them - usually don't trust them. Two spare hooks - nice touch. Despite all my criticisms, I like this thing and will continue to use it.

Used for the 4th of July and it was easy to set up and take down and did the job of keeping us dry from rain. Great product.

Very versatile, mounted to tent instead of 4-runner. Backed the 4-runner up between poles.

In theory, I liked it. But even the best ideas, when made with shoddy material, won't work. I have a picture the first time I used it, and it already had holes in it. But they were minuscule mostly, and I decided to overlook it because I wanted to go freaking CAMPING. Big mistake. This week I took my 91 year old dad camping and the thing just would not cooperate. You would get the suction cups affixed, and the poles would come apart. So you put the poles back together, and the suction cup popped off. It made me want to cuss, and almost made me hate camping. This week the seams ripped and it wouldn't hold the poles and so I trashed it and felt good doing it. But no product should make a person hate camping, and this one about did it, I'm sorry. You can do whatever you want, but I wouldn't buy this again, no way.

I was looking for an easy up shade canopy for my tear drop camper. While the design shows it being used off the back, I use it off the side. The set up is easy with the 3 pole design. I use my own telescopic aluminum poles instead of the included steel ones. The canopy is great in terms of size and is great for my use.However, after the first use, the middle pole, which was already questionable fiberglass when I first pulled it out of the package, had a section split. I contacted the seller who stated they would replace it right away. It's been over a month and even after a few more contacts with the seller, I'm still with a broken middle pole.The product is GREAT....except for the quality of the fiberglass poles. For the higher price over similar canopies, I expected a better product.
