We recommend the Joytutus Universal Vehicle Shelter Awning for campers and tailgaters who want shade and rain cover without a full tent. Price $159.99; $135.99 with code SEBASTIANBASSOL (15% off). Best for car campers who want shade and weather cover at a tailgate or beside the vehicle.
A side or rear vehicle shelter with three removable walls.
We recommend the Joytutus Universal Vehicle Shelter Awning for campers and tailgaters who want shade and rain cover without a full tent. It mounts to the side or rear of an SUV, van, MPV, or pickup using a buckle system, and adjustable height adapts it to different vehicles. Three removable side panels let you lower them for a semi-enclosed space or extend them with guy ropes for open shade, which Joytutus says covers more than 84 square feet. The 210D Oxford fabric has a PU2000mm coating and dual-layer mesh windows add airflow. At $159.99 it is a flexible shelter. The trade-offs are that it has no floor and that it needs stakes and guy ropes to stay stable in wind.

Who should buy this awning?
This shelter suits car campers, anglers, and tailgaters who want shade or rain cover beside the vehicle. If you want a roof-mounted awning, see the Joytutus 11.5 ft overland awning.
Open or enclosed
With the side curtains lowered, the shelter is semi-enclosed for privacy and weather. Extended with guy ropes, Joytutus says it expands coverage beyond 84 square feet.
Mounting
The shelter connects with a buckle system to the side or rear of a vehicle, with adjustable height for SUVs, vans, MPVs, and trucks. Check that the attachment points on your vehicle are suitable before use.
Weather
The fabric is 210D Oxford with a PU2000mm waterproof coating, and reinforced hooks and ground stakes help in wind. For camp setup tips, see our guide to packing a vehicle for camping.

Why we like it.
Two modes in one shelter
Lower the side curtains for a semi-enclosed space or extend them with guy ropes for open shade, so one product serves shade, privacy, and light rain cover.
Side or rear mounting
A quick buckle connection system and adjustable height let you mount it to the side or rear of an SUV, van, MPV, or pickup.
Ventilation built in
Dual-layer mesh windows and roll-up side panels keep air moving and bugs out in warm weather.
A few things to consider.
No floor
This is a shelter, not a sealed tent, so bring a ground sheet or sleeping gear suitable for the ground.
Wind management
Use the ground stakes and guy ropes, and lower or pack it in strong winds. Joytutus lists a reinforced hook attachment for wind.
