ALL-TOP Vehicle Awning 6.6'x8.2' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+, Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for Camping & Overland (Hardware Included)

I bought the smaller 4 foot awning years ago and it held up great. Loved the small footprint as I prefer to keep my setups from getting ridiculous like some circus setup. But it was too small to enclose for winter camping, no room to cook and such. Then I saw the All-Top awning rooms and at $200 I could not even make something cheaper if I wanted. So I had to upgrade to a larger awning if I wanted the room and thus I did. It is a bit trickier setting up solo than the smaller one, but the build is still great for the price. My only dislike is the orange accents of the plastic bits. I know, tiny thing. But I like all my stuff to blend into nature. I am also not a fan of the plastic pole hinges. The WHOLE reason I bought the smaller one years ago was because it had metal hinges and that is a rare thing to find. So I sure hope these plastic hinges hold up as they give you no spares. Although I am sure All-Top would send a set if mine broke. Being a larger awning always make sure you give it some slope to shed rain. A big storm can bring any awning down. In fact for winter camping I bought an extra set of poles and made some loops to go around the horizontal rods so they don't flex down under load. The size, being 6.6' x 8.2', is probably as small as you want to go for two people if you get the room kit with this. Once you have a chair, table and cooking setup there is not much room left under the awning. And I really recommend getting at least one side panel if you will ever been in rain/wind. Makes a massive difference.

Really nice awning, good quality, comes with installation hardware, lightweight,

Holds up to strong winds. Kinda tricky to setup alone. We mainly use it with the awning room to keep our dogs at night when we camp. Well made. Thinking about getting a second one for the other side of our camper.

Update: the seller reached out and took care of me. Good to know customer services has my back. I will be ordering this again to give it another shot. I used this about 8 times in the last month during light to medium wind and it did great. It kept rain off of us and over all worked pretty good. Today we were out and a stiff gust of wind came through unannounced (25-35 mph). It twisted the awning, bent a bar and also ripped a bolt through the metal in the main awning plate. Basically unrepeatable. I liked this awning but the metal should not have ripped like it did so easily. We are 1 month past the Amazon return window and it's worthless. It's worth the price if you don't have a windy day camping.

Well so far it’s seems amazing. It was such an easy setup.

We bought this for our overland adventures and were looking forward to sharing a good quality affordable review with our YouTube audience. Unfortunately, that will not be the review we give! The poles are absolute garbage and made from the cheapest materials that go from the roof to the end. The leg poles are just as bad and poorly designed and made from cheap materials. They snapped in 10mph winds rendering this setup useless!!! You cannot even get replacement poles because they are still unavailable for the 8.2 ft awning. Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand because All-Top is car from a quality product like they claim!!!!!

I’ve used this awning quite a bit now and overall I’m very pleased with the quality of it. It’s easy to install and the hardware hasn’t rusted on me despite always being parked outside. It’s straightforward to set up and I haven’t run into any issues with the legs. As the pictures show, the joints for the poles are well done and I don’t have any fears that the poles will fail at the joints. The awning fabric is my biggest concern as it seems a bit thin, but so far in high winds in the desert, the awning has been incredibly stable. This isn’t going to be a good as the more expensive options out there, but it fits my budget and is actually a lot better than I expected it to be. I’m quite pleased with it.

Well built product. But can’t mount to roof baskets like Yakima that only have cross-slats and no lateral slats. Must be heavily modified to function
