We purchased the original MoonShade to cover the back deck of our B-box sprinter and then added the MoonShade Pro to be able to add more shading to the side of our camper if we needed more room (grandkids visiting). Have been very pleased with how they both function.

Shade was more than expected. Thought it was a little pricey but once set up I was glad I bought it. Tie down stakes are a bit weak though.

Love the xl moon shade on my 148 (non extended) ford transit. I built an extending slide rod for the front edge so we can extend over the front of the cab about foot and a half. And it fits perfect covers the front edge of the sliding door all the way back using the 12 foot side for the slide dang extension I use some 820 and a slide component with a mechanism works great.

There were delays with delivery, but the company worked out the issues and got the moon shade to me in time for my trip. I appreciate that.
The product is well-made and works well with my 2018 Ford Transit mid-roof 130” wheelbase. It was the best and most cost effective solution that I found.

Bought the MoonShade with Moon Mounts for our Vistabule teardrop. It arrived in time for the 4th of July heat wave across New England (and much of the country). It made a huge difference to enduring the hot sun by providing excellent shade.

Was looking for a solution for our truck camper for shade. The new wall suction cups are outstanding. Easy to set up and take down, light weight and solid built and doesn’t take up much room to store. Live our moon shade

Horrible customer service! Look elsewhere.

Ordered their MoonShade with magnet anchors. When my order arrived all I received were the anchors, no MoonShade. Contacted Moon Fabrications and had to wait an additional 6 days for my MoonShade to arrive. I was also told to send them my name, order number, and email so they could “make it right”, which I assumed would be a partial refund for their mistake. Nope! Their idea of “making it right” was to let me know my MoonShade had been shipped and sent an email with shipping information.

BEST CANOPY FOR CAMPING AND OVERLANDING

This is, hands down, the best canopy solution for camping and overlanding I have found. It's super easy to set up, versatile, and durable. I only wish I had discovered this sooner. I love that they offer a variety of mounting options. This allows me to set up the Moonshade no matter what vehicle I am in.

So convenient, great size

We are so glad we found the moon shade! It's a good size for our Ram ProMaster, is lightweight, and is simple to install. We use vacuum anchor mounts (oval) and also added a Moonwall for extra coverage.

Created a compound

Our family have used our moon shades for years. We recently went out camping and the weather forecast said rain so we doubled up our moon shades and created a large space for the 6 of us to sit under, just in case. Instead of rain we had sun and the shade it provided our group was perfect!

Wonderful for teardrop trailer and tough as nails

We’ve had the moonshade for several years and I’m amazed at how durable it is. It recently held up to a week of southern Idaho wind without any damage. I wanted to take it down every day but my wife had faith in the moonshade, and she was right. It held up fine.
I mounted stainless eye bolts in the keder rail of our T@G 320 trailer and leave them in place. It is very quick and easy to clip the carabiners of the moonshade into the eye bolts, insert and clip in the cross poles, and mount the support poles. The shade is up in less than 5 minutes. It’s just as easy to take down and it packs wonderfully in the carrying bag.
I couldn’t be happier with the moonshade and it’s held up through some tough conditions over the years. Highly recommended.

How Do I Attach MoonShade?

What vehicles does MoonShade work with?

MoonShade works on most SUVs, crossovers, mid-size and full-size trucks, Jeeps, RVs, and lightweight trailers — anything with a smooth exterior surface and roughly 7 feet of mounting span. Moon-confirmed vehicles include the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco, Subaru Outback, Toyota Tacoma, Ford F-150, and Airstream Basecamp, among many others. See the full list here.

Does MoonShade need a roof rack?

No. MoonShade attaches via MoonAnchors — suction, magnetic, or surface-mount depending on your vehicle. No roof rack, no drilling, no permanent modification.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes, solo. One person, no tools.

How much does MoonShade weigh?

8 lbs. It packs to 36 × 6 inches — fits under the back seat of most vehicles.

How does MoonShade hold up in wind?

MoonShade is rated to 30 mph and includes guy lines and tensioners for added stability. In practice, owners regularly report it holding through stronger gusts — one rode out 30–40 mph winds in Nevada without issue. For high-wind conditions, stake out all four guy lines and keep support poles at a lower height.

What do people use MoonShade for?

Sun protection is the most common use — mentioned in over 275 reviews. Rain coverage, outdoor cooking, boondocking shade, tailgating, beach days, and backyard gatherings all come up regularly.

How is MoonShade different from a roof rack awning?

Roof rack awnings are fixed to one vehicle and require a rack to mount. The awning itself typically runs $400–$1,200+, with professional installation an added cost on top of that. MoonShade attaches to almost any vehicle without a rack, permanent hardware, or installation — it weighs 8 lbs and packs into a bag.
