Moon fab awning

[Grantnr]

Alright yall, finally have an opinion on this thing. Had for just a short bit, usually run with a pop-up awning, and have come up with a few thoughts. This is the 7x9 awning, comes in a bag the size of a yoga mat, and doesn't remain on the outside of the vehicle. In lieu of an external awning and all the cons that are associated with that, this is a solid middle ground:
-Faster and easier on the setup/takedown than a pop-up or external.
-Takes up a lot less space.
-Not exposed to the sun or trail full time.
-Surprisingly sturdy for what it is.
-Multiple mounting and anchor points for your rig.

Moon fab has the Original (7x9), the XL (9x12) and now have the Pro (9x9 with dedicated walls). Was told about a "hack" to mount quick fist to the side of the roof rack to hold the cross bar. Factory i can only use 1 and then a suction cup anchor but damn is it sturdy. Makes going up and takedown much easier. All in all, highly recommend. More expensive than a pop up, cheaper than a dedicated external awning PLUS if you order 2 extra poles not only can you mount it to the rig, but you can make it fully freestanding like a pop up. 10/10 recomend.

Ok, to expand on what i said yesterday (got some better pictures as well. The roof is attached via quick fist and suction cup (seasucker mount, things are great for everything and can be ordered from moon), the awning is pin through fabric like a tent and is held together with a hook loop carabiner. AND THEY SAY, it packs smaller than a yoga mat. I don't know what that is but here is a regular old camp chair to compare sizes. I said yesterday with 2 extra poles that you can order this thing could be free standing. Well, I'm a masochist so i gave it a whack here by myself. Let's just say guy lines are needed. Put 2 poles and guy one side (needs the tension) and then WITH A PARTNER you should be able to leg and guy the other side. I fought for about 10min by myself and said screw it lol. But it could be done. When I order the other poles ill update this.
