MoonShade Pro

More voluminous than I originally anticipated. Easy set up and so far working wonderfully well.

We were searching for an awning to add to our van for a while but never liked the conventional hard mounted. We are so happy we found the Moonshade Pro! This is amazing! It’s fast and easy to set up, easy to take down, stores well, light weight, durable and has heavy duty zippers. Not only does this go everywhere with us in our van on trips but we can take it with us when we aren’t in the van! Moonshades customer service is top notch. We ordered the oval mount as soon as it was back in stock 1 day before we left for our trip, we reached out to see if we could get it next day aired out to us and without hesitation they responded and got it to us! Thank you Moonshade team!

I recently set up the MoonShade Pro for the first time on my Polydrops P21, and right away it felt like a different class of awning. The materials and hardware genuinely earn the “Pro” label — everything is beefier, sturdier, and gives off the sense that it’s built for real use, not just ideal conditions.

For context, the photos I’ve shared are from my first-ever setup, not a practiced or staged installation. I haven’t taken it through true winter weather yet, but even on day one, a few things stood out:

Build Quality: The thicker poles and reinforced fabric make a noticeable difference. There’s a confidence to the structure once it’s fully tensioned.

Setup Experience: It’s absolutely doable solo, but easier with two people simply because the system is larger and stronger than the original MoonShade. Once you understand which edge faces the trailer, the rest falls into place.

Fit & Compatibility: My P21 has unusual geometry, yet the MoonShade Pro attached without issue. That’s a strong endorsement of their “any setup” claim.

Comfort & Weather Protection: The extra wall length at the bottom helps create a semi-seal, and adding small weights or sandbags keeps the wind from lifting the edges. The fine mesh screens are a great touch — tight enough to block tiny insects but still breathable, especially in cooler weather.

Thoughtful Details: Tie-loops for rolled windows, multiple eyelets for tension points, and interior loops for lighting or small gear all add to the experience. These small touches make the space feel more usable and intentional.

Even though it’s not marketed as winter equipment, I can already tell it’s going to extend my time outdoors in the colder months. It blocks wind effectively and creates a calmer, more comfortable space to sit, cook, or just unwind.

Overall, it feels like a well-considered upgrade for anyone who camps regularly or wants to turn their rig into a more livable outdoor space. It’s heavier and takes a bit longer to set up than the original, but in return, you get stability, comfort, and a sense that this system is built to last.

For me, it’s become less about shade and more about creating a quiet, usable space wherever I park.

Works great with my semi truck with 15 ft sleeper. Creates a very nice outdoor space free of bugs.

Just used the Moonshade Pro for the 1st time. Great product. Well designed and very well made. Very easy to put up and take down on our Ram Promaster. The pull strings to open the carabiners for setup on the high roof without a ladder are genius.
