KingCamp Awning Review

This is my review of our KingCamp Awning, which we take on every trip with our 2024 T@B 320S.

After a lot of research, we chose the KingCamp awning for our 2024 T@B 320S. We paid $130 for it on Amazon (For the record, we don't like buying from Amazon -- Jeff Bezos is rich enough -- but couldn't find another vendor that had it in stock at the time.)

The KingCamp has been one of our most reliable and enjoyable bits of camping gear. It has proven to be versatile, easy to use, reliable, and effective at blocking sun, shedding rain, and withstanding windy conditions. It has also generated more interested questions and positive comments from other campers, second only to our T@B 320 itself.

The KingCamp awning packs small into a nylon bag about the size of a 2-person dome tent. It is lightweight. It can be assembled by one person but it really is a two-person job to get it up and attached to your trailer.

We use two bungie cords to attach it to the fore and aft of our trailer, plus two of the included steel poles for the outer supports. It comes with four if you want to set it up independently. We use the included tie-downs with tent stakes to stabilize it. They have held up remarkably well with wind gusts up to 20+ mphs.

There is an included side panel that attaches via Velcro to one of the short ends. Keep this in mind when placing the KingCamp. We use it to block wind and sun. If you have already placed your KingCamp and realize you want that side panel to be on the end opposite of the Velcro, you can use binder clips to attach it.

Speaking of binder clips, as you can see in the photos, we've used binder clips of different sizes to attach towels and clothing items to dry in the breeze. They work like versatile and sturdy clothes pins.

The KingCamp awning has been a remarkable value and a trusted piece of our camping equipment that goes on every trip.

Used it on ours for three years before we switched to a Moonshade XL for a larger shade area. Solid tied to the front and rear handles. Works good for those on a budget. Only negative was the flap. We finally just sewed ours shut.

SLF, the KingCamp is versatile because of its size, but it would be nice if it were a bit larger, especially when it rains. We have a separate 10'x10' canopy with mosquito netting we set up next to the KingCamp, then drape a poly tarp over both to bridge the gap. It's a bit of a kludge and ugly as sin but it works.
