HASIKA SUV Tailgate Tent, 2-Person Car Camping Awning

Used this on my 2023 Chevy Equinox. Didn't see any other reviews using this on an Equinox so I wanted to share that it does work on that vehicle. Lets just jump to the 2 'cons' that I noticed, since that is why you're reading this right? Pros will come later. 1st: The outside flap (not sure the actual name for it) only has zipper pulls on the OUTSIDE. This makes it very hard to zip it close at night for privacy and weather issues. Not impossible but definitely harder. I couldn't get it zipped all the way closed from inside my car. And it really isn't possible to zip it and get in from another door. This is an easy fix from the company if they put zippers with 2 pulls on, like they have for the mesh covering. I had no issues with zipping the mesh from inside because the zipper had 2 pulls, one on the outside and one on the inside. 2nd: I do not know for sure but I am wondering if it may leak a little if it rains. Thankfully I did not have any rain during the 3 nights I used it. But I did notice light coming in the seams where it was stitched together. There were little pin holes where the stitching was. Obviously it has to be sown together but I am sure there is a way to cover the seams and make them more water proof. Again, I am not saying it will leak as I did not experience any rain. But I am curious if rain will get in through the seams. PROS: This is a pretty simple and easy tent to set up. I set it up alone on my Equinox without any issues. For reference I am 5'5". Word of advice, don't open your hatch all the way at first. Get the tent over the top and up onto part of the roof. Then open it all the way. I tied the cords to my back seat doors instead of the mirror like I had seen in other photos. Once you have it all secure with the ties and the straps on the wheels, make sure you open the hatch the rest of the way. The first night I didn't have it all the way open, I thought it was, and it was a challenge to zip it all the way closed because the zipper was on the bottom of my car and I couldn't get to it. All in all it is a pretty good tent. I had a lot of people ask me where I got it. I will also say, not tent related, but I used a regular twin sized bed mattress (not an air mattress) and it fit pretty well. A little long but I made it work while driving.

For what it is, this tailgate tents serves it's purpose. It attaches fairly easily, easily fitting over the open gate of my 2021 CX-5, and has of adjustable plenty of straps and ropes to secure it, including two stakes for the entry canopy. It also comes with 6 small rectangular magnets to place on the fabric in places where it gaps due to the shape of the car, to reduce incursion by unwanted insects. The idea is a good and effective one, but the magnets are too weak and too small, easily flying off as even a light breeze ripples the fabric. I happened to have some stringer ones which stayed on better as long as the breeze is not too strong. The zippers work well for the entry, and the large screen opening with the canopy extended provides plenty of air. I have yet to experience a rainstorm in that tent but am optimistic it would keep the rain out. Quality of construction appears excellent and durable with repeated use. My test-run was an overnight in a local camping ground, and then a longer test-run on a 4,500-mile road trip with 6 camping stops in the 6 SW US states. It held up well with the repeated setups and take-downs and made the car-camping experience tolerable. I don't really like sleeping in my SUV but it seemed the best solution for this particular trip since it was just for overnight stops, and this tent made it a better experience than to otherwise would have been. Photo shows it without the canopy extended - this was a particularly windy site with threat of rain.

Super comfortable! This thing is awesome! Made car camping so much better! I have a Rav 4 2022 the large fit well! It wasn’t a total fit had to adjust where you anchor it. It didn’t fit like it did in the picture. The straps went around the back door not the front door. I had to add extra rope to the top and tie down more but not a big deal. I’m so glad I bought it!

I’ve had this tent for over a year and I do a lot of car camping in my 2006 Honda Element. I hadn’t tried it out until very recently but decided on a whim to take it on my last trip. Honda Elements are extremely versatile cars and have an almost cult like following, but the rear hatch is quite different from most SUVs on the market now (they stopped making Elements some time back) and the products designed specifically to fit this vehicle are so expensive it’s almost laughable. I found this tent on Amazon and figured I give it a go, knowing that it might not be a perfect fit but prepared to make it work in the interest of saving literally hundreds of dollars. I was very surprised and pleased, both with the quality of the product and the fit. It was easy to set up and with a few careful adjustments it was almost perfect. It provided me with easily an extra 2 feet of interior space in the back of the vehicle AND it allowed me to enter and exit with ease. (A major design flaw in the Element is that Honda did not see fit to equip it with a handle for opening the rear hatch from inside the vehicle). The extra ventilation it allows when sleeping in such a relatively small space is wonderful. It made the whole experience of car camping so much easier that I almost can’t see going without it now. There are some very small gaps near the taillight area where the tent meets the car, but nothing that can’t be managed by tucking in a small cloth, if you’re worried about mosquitoes or other insects finding their way in. It was otherwise perfect, and really one of the best investments I’ve made in my camping gear! Highly recommend!

Love this. Easy to put together exxept the rods that go in the dirt are not sharp, so that's annoying (how come this is not a spike?). Very easy to put on and take down. Total time for me was approx. 15 minutes. Would recommend!

Ok, I’m a city girl and total novice [car] camper, but on my 30-day road trip had a love-hate relationship with this tent thingy for my 2018 Prius IV. SHORT REVIEW: If you have camping gear to supplement the faults, and/or use in perfect conditions, then it totally does what you think it will. Otherwise, it could be very much useless or more frustration than worth. LONG REVIEW: First, my initial attempt to use this was boondocking on the Columbia River and that Did. Not. Work. haha, even a kid in a neighboring RV came out to comment that he had no idea what it was, but he thought I was wasting my time trying to figure it out lol. The thing blew away even before installation ever could be completed, and I reeeeally tried for a very long time. Plus, the clips were really cheap and several of them broke/ripped/tore in the process of trying. Caution: DO NOT USE IN WIND. this is probably common knowledge from campers that know about wind and tents/tent-like-things… but I totally had a live and learn experience! Thankfully I didn’t just chuck it though and did attempt it again whilst camping at Glacier Nat’l park a few days later. For that leg of our trip, this sucker was a life savor. Not only did both my pup and I get sick, but it rained literally nonstop for 3 straight days. So we barely left the car! We would have gone nuts in my little prius (2018 Prius IV) without the additional headroom and airflow this provided. *All 3 photos are fro this leg of the trip*. Almost no wind, so it worked a charm. There were also no bugs (still very cold) so I didn’t have to worry about it being bug tight - just water tight. And it was! I was able to stay warm with my bedding and dry with a tarp (may not have needed the tarp if I hadn’t had the puppy) and even could make my coffee in the back of the prius - SO THANKFUL for this tent and the ability to do so! As others mentioned, it didn’t come with tent poles. As I mentioned, I’m a total camping novice. Sooooo i did purchase (pretty cheap) poles and unfortunately never could get them to work with the awning. Had I figured that out, I would have been THRILLED beyond belief with the additional space the awning would provide, but since I never had it, I didn’t necessarily miss it. I had higher hopes with my YouTube-learned skills to get that to work but nope. Hard to know if the fault was in the poles I chose, user error, where we camped, or a combo… but take the ability to use the awning with a grain of salt :). By the end of my 30 day road trip, I totally figured out the quirks of the tent (I used it maybe 9 of the 30 nights)… I’d hook the straps around the tire on one side and the backseat door on the other. I ended up with only 2 of I think 5 original straps for the underpart of the car, but that was sufficient in the end. Since the Prius can have AC/Heat on all night long and use less than a buck’s worth of gas, I usually ended up closing the hatchback at night (and in bear country for obvious reasons), but it was still worth its weight in gold for me for those 3 Rainy, sick nights at Glacier.

Game changer for anyone who camps in their suv. For size reference I have a Mustang Mach E and I got the large, fit great. The extra room this simple design gives you is so great. The fresh air from the screen and when you want privacy just put down the flap which was nice for changing in the car and also for night time. Highly recommend:)

Overall, I really like this tailgate tent. I used it for an overnight stay at a state park campground so my arthritic self wouldn't have to sleep in a tent on the ground. I got the smaller size, and it fit my 2017 Buick Encore very well. It was also easy to get in and out of. PROS: It's lightweight and doesn't take up a ton of space. It also did a really good job of keeping bugs out all night, even the heavy bugginess one finds in late July and nasty humidity. The only couple of bugs that got in were those that came in when I unzipped the mesh flap to get in and out of the car. It also stayed firmly on my car in a major storm that came with three tornado warnings and 80+ mph winds. I was worried the magnets might not be strong enough, and they did move slightly, but they stayed on the car. Granted, once I saw the storm coming, I did think to position my SUV so that the back end was facing away from the direction the storm was coming from, so I don't know how it would hold up if it took the wind head-on. Still, it stayed put in a lot of wind and near horizontal rain. CONS: Maybe it was just from the sheer amount of rain (we got 3 inches in a few hours), but the tent did leak. On the other hand, the water that got inside the tent stayed out of my car, as it just ran down the inside of the tent fabric and then puddled just a bit at the very bottom where the tent meets the bumper. So I still stayed dry, which is the most important thing and is more than can be said for my friends who were sleeping in actual tents and woke up with wet sleeping bags. Also, the material doesn't seem all that sturdy, so we'll see about longevity. But I also haven't bought a tent in over 20 years, so I can't really compare the material to other modern tents to judge it for certain. Also, if you have to move your car while the tent is on, like I did when the storm was coming, make sure to unhook the straps from your rear wheels before you move it. All in all, I'm going to keep the tent, as I can't imagine it's going to be often I will end up in such a crazy storm while camping, so in a lighter rain, I'm sure it'll probably be fine. In dry conditions, it's close to perfect.

サイズは小さい。でハリアー60系にジャストフィットします！ タープ代わりにしたり、網戸にしたりと優れものです🎵 耐水性もあり、どしゃ降りの中使ってみましたが雨漏り等はありませんでした。 取り付けの展張や撤収もあっという間に出来ます！ 夏場の車中泊するに人にお奨めのか逸品です⁉️

Amazing tent. Large fits 2013 Nissan Armada well. Once you figure out the steps, literally takes 30 secs to put it on, 15 secs to pull it off. As mentioned before, I wish the zips for the screen didn’t loop around the bottom, but I just keep the bottom portion open as it would be pretty awkward to close it from the inside. Very happy with the purchase!

Much better than expected, it fits a small SUV, worked well and packs away very very small. Not a serious tent but its lovely as a hybrid solution for the price i paid R400

Item was exactly as described and fulfilled my requirements. The assembly instructions that are in the bag could have been more detailed, however the video was very helpful. I tried using this overnight for the first time in windy and wet conditions and woke up dry and cosy. The inner mesh is great for keeping bugs out. Very easy to disassemble and compact for storage.

Took on a 3 week road trip and it performed in sun, wind and rain! Provided so much extra space inside my corolla, allowed plenty of air flow and kept the bugs and kangaroos (one jumped in my car cos i left the zipper open lol) out which was a huge bonus haha. Super easy to set up and take down, once you know what you're doing it takes 5 mins to put up and 2 mins to take down. The included straps are a little flimsy and I broke one on my trip, but can be reinforced with some DIY and bungee cords. I also reinforced the top corners where it goes over the top of your boot with some heavy duty cloth tape as I could see those corners would wear down REALLY fast if not. Overall a great tool for car campers! If it was a built a little sturdier it would be perfect 11/10.
