VEVOR Versatility Camping Tent - Moonshade Awning Auto Canopy with UV50+ Protection & PU3000mm Water Resistance, Ideal for Truck Bed, SUV, RV, Van, and Trailer Overlanding Gear, Tear-Resistant

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.

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.

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.

First time up 2 of us tried to assemble. Finally our heckler helped and was amazed when 15 minutes later the 3 of us finally got it together. It has stretched and is easier but still a tough assembly, especially with the extreme arch. It covers great and cuts cold winds and blowing rain, but leaks. Leaks even at the very top. Moved my chair all around and never found a place that didn't drip on me. If you seal the seams maybe it wouldn't leak. Also didn't have any place to hang a light from and with the way it is blacked you really need a light. Staked properly it was great in strong wind. (I've a Vevor 12 foot 6 side gazebo and love it and it turns rain perfectly.) Light weight and packs up small. If you don't need the low hanging sides.; get a Moonshade or the cheaper, bigger, better, water proof, easy to assemble Hasika. Happy adventures!

Just spent four days camping and a norEaster brushed by and the tent stood up in the wind. Very happy. I’ve only used this for four days, but I’m an avid camper and will report back after a couple more trips.
