ALL-TOP Vehicle Awning 8.2'x10' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+, Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for Camping & Overland (Hardware Included)

Selected this awning as it was the only overland style awning that was 10' long and wasn't stupid expensive. Install was fairly straight forward, however I wish they had included a half dozen each of the short bolts for van applications. I have a pop up roof van and needed third party brackets to make it work. I got it installed but had to take an angle grinder with a cut off wheel to shorten the bolts and smooth them once installed to avoid interference with my pop top. My brackets are the Wasatch Overland Ford Shorts, and with the awning fully cinched up with the straps in in the awning, the awning barely clears the doors. Added cinch straps are needed on the bag itself to pull the bag up higher to keep it out of the doors. The ties shown are temporary just to get it functioning. Looks like they included decent enough guy lines, but they also included the same junk stakes that most modern tents and such come with that are just a bent piece of metal. I keep a set of heavy duty stakes, and a set of the auger / screw in stakes for a cordless drill to drive in that should cover all my needs here. Materials seem first rate, excluding the plastic end bits, so far. I don't think they are exactly mission critical though. Long story short, this is exactly the size awning my camper needed, and aside from it obviously not having taken pop top camper vans into consideration, you know like Colorado Campervans, the classic VW Westfalia, or my Sportsmobile, probably many others... it falls into the category of must have gear. Obviously it would have to be taken down for big winds, but this will allow me to have a less insanity inducing living space should I encounter multi day torrential rain slogs in my travels. Just a quick update on the cracked plastic end piece. I called all top and they sent me a replacement with no hassle. I haven't installed it yet but that's coming. After deploying it and hurling it back up a couple of times I have some bits of advice. For starters lock the legs in place. The ones at the end need to not be able to slide out and the ones that extend from the main frame. As soon as you open the bag deploy those and lock them in place so you can put the awning piece onto the arms without too much hassle. I tried to do a setup video of it but well my camera died. Maybe I will add one later. There are people that hate bag type awnings. Honestly this thing's perfect for this van for me and I do have some issues limiting range of movement so if I can do it almost anyone can.

Killer product. I use these on my Travel Trailer and Tow Vehicle. Under constant use with tons of wind, rain, sun and snow, I get about 3 to 4 years out of the awnings. Im here to replace out my largest and oldest one. Lol, to the folks that called the awnings garbage because they buckled under rain load, Pro Tip: you have to lower one end of the awning so it will shear water. I have been very impressed with the wind preformanc. Double stake each leg and they will take a beating....over and over and over again. I own 6 of these awenings in various sizes. As a full time RVr, I can't recommend enough. Im here to order more.

I’m giving it 4 stars only because it doesn’t have a roof light… other than that, it’s an excellent product.

Great value for the price. I opted for the All Top because I wanted the 8'x10' size. Also purchased the awning room. It's a great addition to our Sunray 109

Horrible cheap product, I'd say you get what you pay for but I wouldn't pay this much for one use. First time I set it up, even intentionally keeping it at an angle for drainage just in case it rain which wasn't expected and I woke up to it collapsed on me in the rain nonetheless. Garbage. I wouldn't even give it one star, but it wouldn't let me leave a review without. And, I'm further inspection if it isn't bad enough that it collapsed under the weight of the first rain, but it ruined the brackets that were half as expensive is the canopy itself.

Easy to install. Best with 2 people to set up.

The hardware kit is absolutely ridiculous for this product, none of the bolts or nuts have anything to do with the aluminum extrusion, you can’t use hex head bolts or nuts in the slots. A type of t slot bolt is what needs to be in the mounting kits.

this is a quality canopy. I had the smaller one on for about a year - and upgraded to a bigger size. Sold the old one to a friend. Only used it a hand full of times but so far so good!!
