Can You Add or Remove the Modular Walls on the MoonShade Pro Awning Without Taking Down the Canopy?

Published 11/04/2026

Question:

My wife and I do a lot of weekend camping out of our van, and were trying to make our campsite a little more comfortable without hauling around a big screen tent. We like sitting outside in the evenings, but the bugs can get pretty bad, and sometimes wed like a little privacy when changing clothes or getting ready for bed. I came across the MoonShade Pro with the modular walls and thought it looked interesting. Can we leave the walls off during the day and put them on at night, or is it something wed have to take apart and set back up every time?

Hey Jason! Absolutely! That's actually one of the things I really like about the Moon Fabrications MoonShade Pro # MN27FR. You can leave the 9' x 9' canopy set up during the day and enjoy that nice open shaded space beside your SUV, then zip on the included walls whenever you want a little more privacy or protection from the bugs. You get two window walls and one door wall, so you can change things up depending on what you're doing without having to take the whole awning down and start over. It's especially nice when you're relaxing outside after dinner and the mosquitoes decide to join the party!

And since you're camping out of your SUV, I think you'll appreciate not having to haul around a separate screen tent. The whole setup packs down to about the size of a duffel bag, and you don't even need a roof rack to mount it as long as your vehicle has at least 9 feet of usable mounting space. Just keep in mind that the walls give you an enclosed space for privacy and help with bugs, but they're not a substitute for a fully sealed tent.

I'm curious, what kind of van are you camping out of?
