Hitch mounted umbrella - here's a good option

Biddi · Mar 16, 2025

I found this trailer hitch mounted umbrella that really works with the vibe of our truck.
It was windy our weekend out, and the aluminum eyelets made for easy tie downs.

For $1750, I’ll stick to a $200 umbrella and blow $1500 on something better.

..but the inflated price *also* goes with the vibe of the truck. ;-)

This certainly is a quality product. Good in wind to 25 mph, rotates, and pretty big. Currently using a tarp on pvc poles, held in with guy-ropes... kinda funky. Hitch mount, easy set-up, and provides shade "right now" is sounding pretty good for desert travels.

you should post a pic of your desert tarp rope trap!

I’m gonna go bankrupt if I keep discovering things on this website that I “have to have.”

But as I was out in the desert this weekend, I was thinking that my biggest problem is creating shade where there are no trees.

Ugh.

I have to have it

Looks very nice compared to the traditional square tents seen in the pictures on the beach. The ones I often see flying away. Tie downs are a must. Are they on all four sides? I would have to think it could do better than 25mph.

What does it look like when collapsed? Does it fit in the bed easily?

I could’ve sworn I posted this exact two questions last night. I guess I didn’t hit enter! OP please let us know; pictures if possible!

The ere are 5 eyelets for tie downs…and they give you a couple suction cup attachment points that work on the roof or windows

I am always blown away by people thinking this kind of stuff is an answer to a problem. I put this right up there with the incredibly stupid tent attachments that go on the rear of an open hatchback or truck bed, or on racks over the truck bed. This means you have to break camp every time you want to use your vehicle - or in this case, take down the umbrella. Perfectly good tents (far better in my opinion) and umbrellas exist that DON'T REQUIRE ATTACHMENT TO A VEHICLE. This provides far more flexibility when vehicle camping - leave the tent/umbrella behind at your base location and actually use the vehicle to explore, etc. Stand-alone tents and umbrellas simply make more sense - and will actually work at places where you cannot take a vehicle.

This is a solution looking for a problem. As both PT Barnum and Abe Lincoln said “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Or more rudely put by Barnum: “There's a sucker born every minute." Or Twain's cogent observation: “It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.”
