Hasika SUV Camping Tent Car Tailgate Shade Awning with Screen Net Waterproof 3000MM UPF 50 Black (Large)
$ 18.20
Overall, I really like this tailgate tent. I used it for an overnight stay at a state park campground so my arthritic self wouldn’t have to sleep in a tent on the ground. I got the smaller size, and it fit my 2017 Buick Encore very well. It was also easy to get in and out of.PROS: It’s lightweight and doesn’t take up a ton of space. It also did a really good job of keeping bugs out all night, even the heavy bugginess one finds in late July and nasty humidity. The only couple of bugs that got in were those that came in when I unzipped the mesh flap to get in and out of the car. It also stayed firmly on my car in a major storm that came with three tornado warnings and 80 mph winds. I was worried the magnets might not be strong enough, and they did move slightly, but they stayed on the car. Granted, once I saw the storm coming, I did think to position my SUV so that the back end was facing away from the direction the storm was coming from, so I don’t know how it would hold up if it took the wind head-on. Still, it stayed put in a lot of wind and near horizontal rain.CONS: Maybe it was just from the sheer amount of rain (we got 3 inches in a few hours), but the tent did leak. On the other hand, the water that got inside the tent stayed out of my car, as it just ran down the inside of the tent fabric and then puddled just a bit at the very bottom where the tent meets the bumper. So I still stayed dry, which is the most important thing and is more than can be said for my friends who were sleeping in actual tents and woke up with wet sleeping bags. Also, the material doesn’t seem all that sturdy, so we’ll see about longevity. But I also haven’t bought a tent in over 20 years, so I can’t really compare the material to other modern tents to judge it for certain.Also, if you have to move your car while the tent is on, like I did when the storm was coming, make sure to unhook the straps from your rear wheels before you move it.All in all, I’m going to keep the tent, as I can’t imagine it’s going to be often I will end up in such a crazy storm while camping, so in a lighter rain, I’m sure it’ll probably be fine. In dry conditions, it’s close to perfect.
