REDCAMPWaterproof Car Awning Sun Shelter, Portable Auto Canopy Camper Trailer Sun Shade for Camping, Outdoor, SUV, Beach Beige/Army Green

The seams were orange in the original photo they’re actually red which was an unpleasant surprise. The photo is updated now but the damage is done.The sides of the awning descend down a lot. It would be nice to have poles to prop one of the sides up.

I had a chance to take a camping vacation recently where I tried this canopy out, and I was very pleased with how well it worked, providing shelter from sun and rain during my trip. For reference I was usingthis with a soft top 2-door Wrangler JL.Entire week had temps in the upper 80s to low 90s. Winds were constantly gusting to 25mph throughout the first couple of days. And the second and third days had periods of moderate rainfall. All in all, a nice mix of common weather for the canopy's maiden voyage. I was pleased to find that the canopy handled all these conditions without trouble. Space-wise, I eventually had a good-sized table, large comfy camp chair, cooler, stack of firewood, and a clothes line all set up underneath the canopy to keep them out of the rain, and still had no trouble getting in and out of the tailgate for other gear. I also had no trouble unclipping the rear window and tucking it up on the roof under the edge of the canopy to allow for additional access space. During the times the sun was out and the temps were soaring the canopy gave nice shelter from the sun while the open sides provided good air circulation.Also convenient was that I could easily detach the canopy from the Jeep's roof, slide it onto the ground, drive off to do other things, and then back up into the same spot and slip the canopy into placeagain. This was simplified by sticking a couple of chunks of wood behind my rear tires before driving off, marking my initial position. On my return I could use the Jeep's rearview camera to line myself back up on the chunks of wood, slowly go backwards until I felt a wheel bump into one of the wood chunks, and know I was within a few inches of where I'd started from.As several have observed, solo assembly was indeed a bit troublesome at first. But after trying various things and pondering a bit I developed an approach that at least worked well for me and my vehicle. Pretty obvious to most folks I'd expect was to first roll up the side panels and secure them with the tie-off points. Nothing fancy, just a quick'n'dirty roll to get them out of the way so I wasn't stepping on them and the wind wasn't catching hold of them. Next was to slide the canopy fabric up onto the top of my Jeep until it was a little bit past the midpoint of the canopy. I used the web straps to temporarily lash it to the vehicle (I used my side mirrors) to again help prevent the wind from trying to move things around on me. Next was inserting the long roof poles. Having the fabric draped over the Jeep's top meant that as I fed the poles through their sleeves they naturally formed the desired downward curve, making it much easier to slip one end into its pocket and then walk around to the other side to get the other end slipped into place, without the poles falling sideways, or twisting out of place, or trying to curve the wrong way, etc. Essentially I was using the top of the vehicle as if it were a very patient second person willing to hold up the middle of each long pole for as long as I needed them to. With the two long poles in place it was easy to get the shorter pole in position, and then slide everything backwards until it was in the proper positionon the Jeep. At that point I could secure the front end of the canopy to the rear wheels, then get the rear canopy poles into place and their guy lines secured, and finally unroll the sides and get their guy lines staked out.A few tweaks I made that may or may not be of interest to folks. I wanted a little more flexibility with the height of the canopy as well as a more positive-locking assembly. I couldn't find telescoping poles that were short enough to fit into my organizer bags, so I ended up going with a set of heavy duty interlocking sectional poles (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SQP86NL) where I could leave out one or two sections to keep the canopy lower - say if there were heavy rain where I wanted to get the side panels closer to or even all the way down to ground level. Next, around the midpoint of my trip there was a warning of heavy thunderstorms with high winds approaching, where I used a couple of King-a-Ma-Jigs tarp clips (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DRM3LRW) to add guy lines to the center of each side panel, since they had a tendency to billow a bit in the earlier gusts. I may start doing that all the time, since it provided a nice tautness to the side panels. Finally, I picked up a couple of heavy duty vinyl coated s-hooks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TQSQM25) to connect the canopy's front straps to my rear wheels, so I wouldn't have to muck about with feeding the straps through the wheel openings.

Buena calidad de producto lo utilice con lluvia y me preocupaba pero soporto bien la lluvia, trae suficientes cuerdas y anclas así como estuches para guardar los accesorios y trasportar, solo le hace falta el instructivo recomiendo ponerlo.

Better versions out there, this one was difficult to figure out

Overall this seems to be a great product, -however-, my wife and I spent about an hour and a half trying to figure out how to set it up on our Dodge Caravan. There are NO instructions - even though it's pretty easy to figure out how it goes together -IF- you have pockets for the long poles that go from the straps that attach to the wheels over to the tent poles. Now, we have been camping for over 40 years, and have set up dozens of awnings, tarps, tents, etc. This awning did not have any place to anchor the poles near the vehicle. So after a lot of cussing, I ended up drilling a couple holes in the ends of the plastic caps on the poles, and made some S-Hooks to fit into the grommets that are meant for an extra set of tent poles (if you want to set the awing up as a stand-alone.) Once I did that, it took literally 10 seconds to set it up. No problem. I have attached a couple photos. The first shows the end of the long pole, and the lack of any pocket to set it in. The second shows the awning set up once I installed the S-Hooks. We are leaving on a trip tomorrow and will be testing this awning out. Except for the missing pockets this looks to be really great for a quick and easy awning to set up, and despite what others say, we easily fit it back into its carry bag. Nice and compact. The tent poles come in a separate storage bag. I will update once we have tested this in the field.

I have a 19 F350 long bed with a high top . the The canopy set up perfectly over the open back door of the camper top. One of the nights got kind of windy was actually surprised how sturdy it actually was. Very impressed with the quality of the material of the tent itself and all the accessories poles and ropes and stakes came with it . well worth the money that I paid for it. Highly recommended.
