Open Roads Forum  >  General RVing Issues  > Who uses a pop-up canopy?

Something to cover the picnic table and/or seating area depending on the site configuration. I'm curious how many others actually do this. Do you find that it's worth the effort to put one up, or is it really a waste to have this in addition to the RV awnings?

I recommend staking it to the ground WNYBob • View posts Tonawanda, NY Senior Member Joined: 02/23/2015 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 12/01/20 05:33pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We had one with 4 legs until a big gust of wind caught it and threw it 40 ft. Breaking a part I can't find. So I looked around and saw a Gazelle 6 sided pop up. I talked with the owner and he said it was great. Easy up and very stable in the wind. It was a Clam Quick-Set Gazebo/Canopy $$$ I bought a Gazelle gazebo almost identical but cheaper. I've been happy with it. trailernovice • View posts Mission TX Senior Member Joined: 10/25/2010 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/01/20 05:46pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It might depend on whether you'll have to hand-carry it, and how far/over what surface...we have a 10' x 10'...the times we use it is generally when we're camping at a beach park (we live on the gulf coast) and want to spend an afternoon at the water...it can get bulky, heavy and awkward lugging it across the sand from a parking lot to the beach itself...putting it up right next to the trailer would be no issue at all Glenn and Toni 2019 Jayco JayFlight SLX8 264 BH 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 3.21 gears Reese round bar w/d with sway control [email protected] • View posts Windsor NC Senior Member Joined: 11/03/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 12/01/20 06:02pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We have worn out two so far. The first was a 10x10, the next was a 12x12 and we currently have another 12x12. I modified my surf cart to carry everything including our small dog riding on the top down to the beach. It is a necessary item with our two dogs as it gives plenty of shade. We have been going to Hatteras Island for decades and staying about three months. Our dogs love the beach and these easy ups are really nice for shade. Over the years I found out how to angle my sand stakes on each corner to prevent wind from being an issue. If you plan on using one at your campsite it would be wise to use stakes as well. Wind springs up quickly.

Talk about gluttony! Actually carry 2 in the trailer, set up with walls, usually behind the trailer, and put our propane firepit inside when cool or cold. Gets nice and toasty inside!! We usually only use one or both when in a dispersed spot for at least 3-4 days, otherwise, don't bother with. Not a major job to set up and take down, but extra work for 1 or 2 nights. Our 3rd one we use on our back deck in the summer, shades the deck and entry, much cooler in family room when in use. Where we live, we do have to be aware of wind, have lost one to the "wayward wind"!!!

Because the awning on our pop-up is small, we usually use it in place of the awning.
