GEERTOP Large Car Side Camping Awning 19 x 11 ft SUV Canopy Tarp Waterproof Outdoor Vehicle Sun Shade Shelter for Truck, MPV, Van, Campers

Works the way it’s intended. It withstood the wind when other peoples shade covers blew away! Setting it up was not hard but the poles were a little trickier. Not hard to figure it out though

Honestly the other reviews I saw for this sucked but I had hope and I’m glad I did cause this thing rocks. First off it’s much lighter and smaller when packed up than it looks, but beware it’s very hard to fit back in the bag once used just because it’s an odd sharp and hard to fold right. Also this thing is built so well, its seam taped and the material is quality, (when I crumpled it back up I couldn’t even push air out it’s so well sealed). Has enough rigging points (double stitched and riveted holes plus loops on every point) to make it secure, and the poles are very heavy duty I have no worries for any of that. The day I took it out to test it was about 90° in the Santa Monica Mountains and the shade was about 5-10° cooler with the tarp is totally blocks the sun. It’s pretty intuitive to put up but a second person would make it easier. (Also if you’re worried about the suction cups don’t because they worked on my very dusty and dirty truck, plus I tested them at home and could suction them to drywall so yk). I did get it on sale for like $70 and that made it all the more worth the money.

This worked pretty well except one of the suction cups kept falling off my window. The wind kicked up that night. The last thing I wanted to hear from my tent was this heavy suction cup bouncing around and scraping against my 4Runner. I made sure the window was clean too, per the instructions. Also, learn from me: if you're going on a camping trip on dusty, dirty roads, make sure to bring adequate window cleaning materials.

Our 1st time using it, we were camping with our teardrop trailer and we put it over our kitchen area. Kept the rain off us, was easy to put up. The tension ropes to tie down were pretty easy to set up if you have someone who has basic tent skills. Didnt have a lot of wind but because there are no sides, I would anticipate no issue. The suction cups performed excellent. They didnt come off or slip, stayed up for us. Sun protection would really depend on positioning. Tarp is thin but if packed appropriately, it is nice to have the lighter pack. I feel this was worth the money. We looked at other tarps, tents for cover, bridging systems to bridge the teardrop to a tent. Really we needed just this. Something that sets up quick where we can be outside and not stuck in a smaller camper. For a minimalist camper, this has been the best thing we have found when comparing other shelter options (and comparing costs)

This canopy is really awesome. The suction cup mounts hold well, the poles are very stout, and the overall quality seems good. I have set it up twice just to familiarize myself with how to do it and I was able to do it by myself in both cases. I did buy longer stakes and decided to add two more guy lines so I could make the front edge really taut. This seems like a really good deal for the money.

This awning is compact, Lightweight and the size of shading is exceptional. Quality is sturdy on the loop rings for tie downs. Easy to set up!

With only two poles as soon as it rains it sags and falls
