ALL-TOP Vehicle Awning 4.6'x6.6' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+, Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for Camping & Overland (Hardware Included)

Sa me semble très fonctionnel ..je n’ai pas encore installé mais je suis confiant ….très bonne achat

I bought this for a car camping trip. I had a friend’s bf install it. I had to find a YouTube video to figure it out, instructions weren’t super helpful. As others have stated, the included hardware isn’t all you’ll need. I had a friend help me set it up and break it down twice, then had no problem doing it myself after a few tries. It looks cool and is well made. The material seems durable and the Velcro isn’t f’ing around! It’s pretty lightweight and I loved that it comes with a bag attached for storage. It perfectly fit over the passenger door and takes up zero space to store. I added a few outdoor area rugs (which helped me set it up and break it down) and it was perfect! The pre drilled holes make it easy to know where to fit the poles. This helped make my first solo trip a success!

It’s easy to put on and take off of our roof rack. The zippers work great and the thickness of the walls provides good privacy. Great quality for the value so far. We like how the floor detaches so we can just use it as a toilet tent.

Spent 4 days on Padre National Seashore to fish, camp and watch the Eclipse. Fishing was good. Clouds blocked the Eclipse. But this awning really shined! It withstood two days of 25+ mph wind. The side rails/bars are what really helped accomplish the success. The awning was barely affected by the wind and even shed a 30min rain shower w ease. My two boys were able to stay out of the wind and rain for a couple of hours while they finished sleeping. The awning was on the leeward side of the truck which helped block the straight line winds. Awning was secured to the ground w provided guide string and sand anchors. Material is way thicker than I expected for this price point. Ripstop woven. And all the seams are double sticked including the Velcro strips. I also purchased two of the front wall add ons. The front wall sections have a “bead” sewn into them so they can be slid into the outside track bar and extend your awning. Designed to be staked into the ground but I bought two adjustable tent poles and lifted the add on awning section level w the rest of the awning and secured w guide wires to the ground. Second front wall section I added off the side of the original awning w the Velcro strips. These two sections did have to be removed w then wind blew in. They probably would’ve been fine but I didn’t want to risk it. All in all, I would highly recommend. Setup and break down are not as fast as the 180/270 awnings but we are talking a fraction the cost (and weight). I’m very happy w this purchase and may even buy another one to deploy off the back of my truck to cover the tailgate area. I also mounted the L bracket upside down so the awning had a lower profile. You won’t be disappointed.

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.
