- Is the MoonShade awning by MoonFab the best awning for a teardrop camper? In this review, we'll share the four things that we like about the MoonShade, plus we'll share a few things that could be improved. If you own a teardrop camper or other tiny camping trailer then an awning can help protect you from the elements while outside your camper. To us, a good awning is a necessity so we can easily be in the galley and be protected from rain or sun.

Title: CAN YOU MAKE IT
Sorry about the audio in a few spots! We didn't realize this happened until we wrapped up filming.
Good review! I purchased a Moon Shade a couple of years ago and really like it. We use it on our TAB 320 but instead of using it on the rear hatch, we mount it over our entry door using the suction cups on the top of the trailer. The suction cups that you showed in the video look much improved over the ones that came with our Moon Shade.
Also, Moon Shade has available a keter rail attachment option. I bought a pair but found that they don't readily fit because the screw heads that attach the keter rail to the trailer are too high. Maybe someday I'll replace the screws with a flat head screw, that should allow them to work.
Thanks Rob! Yes, the suction cups are pretty robust now. They definitely work best if your vehicle is clean. We had to wipe down the Soob in that area a few times before it stuck perfectly. I’d be interested in seeing the keter rail mount once you get it working.
I love this! Thanks for the vid lisa👌🏻
That looks like a pretty quick set up. I can see that on my tent trailer or tow vehicle.
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Lisa: GREAT video. Thanks.
The problem I see is rain on the sides. Seldom does rain fall straight down.
any info on that mounting bar you have on the hatch?
The mfg of the teardrop I own makes them specifically to be used with the MoonShade. It goes across the length of the hatch and can extend outwards to either the 7 foot or 9 foot length. It locks in place. It's basically a square tube in a square tube that can pull out and be locked in place. You could achieve something similar with square tube in tube and then use a small pin to lock it to the needed length. I'm not sure if that helps or not.
How do these go in the rain?
The MoonShade is great in the rain provided it's not raining sideways. 😀 It handles strong winds well too. We've never had an issue in up to 30mph gusts. If it is raining sideways, then that's where the MoonWall comes into play. We'll post that review soon.
Nice review but $395 for a tarp? What? I bought a quality ten by ten for a little over half that. $90 maybe. (You did say that.) ;-)
Fair enough.
We tried using an Easy Up before, but it's too hard for just one of us to put up and take down. The MoonShade is a great alternative for us, plus it packs up super small. Thanks for watching!
It's more than a tarp, it's more like a tent top, comes with the shock corded poles and actually sheds water, so there's that....and that's actually a big thing.
It’s a big bit over priced.
