Moon was showing off their MoonShade Awning and the new MoonWall, which offers additional privacy and shade.

MoonShade

MoonShade is a portable vehicle awning that offers reliable coverage, day or night, to your outdoor site. With various anchoring systems, it sets up easily and attaches to almost any sturdy structure. MoonShade provides 9ft by 7ft coverage but packs down tight and weighs only 8 lbs, making breakdown and storage a breeze. MSRP $350

Thoughts => I covet one of these! It would be perfect for shade after a long bike ride, suction cupped onto the topper of my truck. Getting out of the sun after a ride in Moab, where you’re roasting in the blazing sun, would be ideal—no more huddling in the subtle shade of any taller object, trying not to melt.

MoonWall

The new MoonWall Long ($95) attaches to the 9ft side of MoonShade to increase shade and privacy in your outdoor space. MoonWall Long is best used with vans, trucks with full-length racks, full-size SUVs, and mid-size and large travel trailers or RVs. MoonWall Long can also be rotated 90 degrees for setup on MoonShade’s 7ft side.

The new MoonWall Short ($75) attaches to the 7ft side of MoonShade to increase shade and privacy in your outdoor space. MoonWall Short is best used with SUVs, Jeeps, small travel trailers, and any setup where MoonShade’s canopy is parallel to the ground.

The MoonWall folds up to fit easily inside the MoonShade carry bag so you can keep your full MoonShade kit in one place.

Thoughts – A nice addition to their awning, offering more shade and privacy (if you need it).
