VEVOR Vehicle Awning 6.6'x8.2' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+ PU3000mm, Retractable Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for SUV Outdoor Camping & Overland (Hardware Included), w/Waterproof Storage Bag

Fantastic!! We have this attached to our Jeep. We just got back from Arizona and southern Utah. This awning was a game changer. Lunch spots were always in the shade. What a difference! It takes the two of us literally 3 minutes to set up. Take down is just as fast. It is durable. The ripstop top is quality, the aluminum frame is solid and lightweight. It mounted to our Jeep easily as we already had roof bows. However it can be done on other set ups fairly easily as well. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Easy to use and good quality

We installed two of these on our nuCamp T@G camper, and they work perfectly to provide coverage over the door and window on each side, offering excellent protection from rain and sun. For added privacy, we hang tapestries from the extension rails. Installation was manageable but not exactly straightforward. Since I mounted them at the end of the crossbars, additional mounting brackets were required (I researched mounting options before ordering). I have yet to figure out how they can be adjusted to a shorter length, as they simply roll up for storage—it seems to be either fully open or closed. The support legs move easily and don’t lock in place, so staking or weighing them down is necessary. While they can be opened and closed solo, it’s definitely easier with assistance, reducing the risk of bending poles or damaging the locking pins.

Wow, very impressed with the fabric and amount of shade. It protects from UV rays & heat & is very cool underneath. I set this up over my Jeep Wrangler JKU and it shades from the front grill to the back of the back side windows (practically the entire vehicle. This was setup in my driveway & will take some finagling to tie down the side flaps. I then moved it to shade from the passenger side of vehicle. Holy cow! It is a huge area of shade. It was windy and the material is light compared to other awnings like ARB, but it is manageable. I set this up alone (63 yo woman) and had no problem. The included instructions are very basic. Here is some additional instructions that may be helpful. There are 3 support rods with elastic cord. It is pretty easy (just like tent setup & understand the elastic corded poles can be pushed but pulling will pull them apart); Lay out awning with black side down (sleeves up), unfold & assemble the rods, push all the rods into the sleeves, tie the strap at the center, push the rod ends into the pockets (it doesn’t require a lot of strength), tie to vehicle & stake down. Stakes are small but adequate & I appreciate that the sharp point pushes into the plastic cap of the other stake & keeps it contained. The one negative is the storage bag is not oversized & i did not get the poles back in the main bag. They have their own bag & so I have 2 bags to store. I docked 1 star for this. I like that the cords are reflective.

I used this awning this summer on a couple of camping trips and still looks fantastic and has held up well. Was the perfect size for my Renegade, and gave a decent amount of shade and even a spot to sit under during a light rain. Had room for a Coleman roll up camping table and 3 chairs underneath. I’m sure you could set it up by yourself but I tried and was really awkward and I ultimately gave up setting it up by myself and had my wife assist me with setting it up. Putting the awning away is much easier and all the poles fold into the end of the awning and into the storage bag. Then just roll up the fabric back into the storage back and Velcro it in tight then zip up the bag. Putting it away takes 5 minutes. The product came with all the parts and once staked and roped down the awning is pretty sturdy and stayed put during a storm one night. I could do without the big orange gawdy branding on the storage bag but, a smaller more subtle logo would be nice, but I can’t complain as the product works perfect and for hundreds less than name brand awnings is a great value.

This SUV tent is not the awning also pictured here (-- presumably to ameliorate the ratings?) This is the army green tent-style SUV-back-end type tent. This tent indeed has a few solid features: It is thick and appears to be seriously sun and water proof. It is large. I really like the flaps the come down over the sides. Upon first glance, it looked extremely well made. In fact, it is indeed well made with the below proviso: It is very difficult for one person to set up. All of the shock-corded poles need to be fed through three very long sleeves. Like many ordinary tents, after you feed the poles through the sleeves, you must hook in the pole ends into a pocket. Here, it is very difficult because you are also creating that dome you see in the picture. Domes don't just create themselves -- and they constantly want to collapse until you seat the pole end into the (admittedly very heftily-sewn) pocket. (Vevor -- how about some shorter sleeves and use of hooks instead?) Unlike ordinary tents, you cannot stake the tent ends down to create an opposing force for the dome creation. It is very hard to get the pole into the pocket end while the poles maintain their proper curvature, which they do not want to do. I also felt like the pole could snap during this process with all the extreme pressure. The tension was just so extreme! This was nearly impossible for me to do, as it required a lot of strength and coordination to stretch the tent's end pocket over the seemingly too-long pole. Life is too short to fuss with something over and over again for 15 minutes straight while cursing. Once it was up, it was lovely, and exactly what I was looking for. However, I cannot keep something that is so frustrating to put up. Strike one. Also, removing the poles at take down was equally very frustrating. The pole sleeves are very long, so tent poles do not simply slide out of the sleeves, but have to be coaxed out and fiddled with excessively, inch by inch, all the while the tent poles kept constantly coming apart within he pole sleeves. One of the shock cords broke (though not the tent pole). I don't understand why this process had to be so difficult. More cursing. Strike two. Maybe this could be for you if you are traveling with two people. I think that could make a big difference.

Easy to install, even by myself. Can set up on my own in minutes. Zipper is sturdy. Make sure to use the tie downs if windy or it will fold over the car. (That's on me).

Love how tall and spacious it is! We tested it in a parking lot so didn’t stake the back corners properly, just tied them to the wheel hubs. It was super windy but it was breezy and it had no issues whatsoever. The stakes are good quality and you can stake the front corners out to the side and forward for extra security. Seems like great quality, sturdy seams and material. We plan to use it for shade or rain in the day and then are going to stake down the outer corners poles and make our truck bed/topper into an awesome tent.
