Hitch mounted umbrella - here's a good option

How does it all fit in the bed folded? Looks awesome btw

Took me a while to get back to this request, but, here you go:

Much has developed since for me too. Started with a wide umbrella that works beautifully and actually fits neatly along the width of the truck (huge advantage). It’s the one in the photo next to the other Cybertruck.
I then realized it had to come down in order to put up the cybertent awning so I got a cantilever type which is a little smaller but awesome nonetheless because it’s directable.
that one unfortunately folds too long for the width of the truck, so I bought an umbrella bag for it. It’s fits roughly like yours but the bag makes it much slimmer and easier to handle. Has wheels too.

This is the bag I got. Really like it.

I ended up going with this one, I just didn’t put it in the bag for the photo.

Looks nice. Much more wallet friendly than mine. The little wheels are handier than I thought though

Yep agree with all of that. I’m just not sure that the wheels would be helpful when I’m out overland, but I was immediately jealous of them.

Not really what I I use them for. Stays clean in the bed when we’re out. They are handy for in and out of the garage type stuff.

Yep that’s where the FOMO came in for everything but over landing moving it around in storage garage to the car all of that stuff I could see them coming in handy.

But, as a very manly man with broad shoulders. I just huck it up on my shoulder like Paul Bunyan with the added benefit of immediately impregnating all of the women-folk in the area.

They don’t know it’s a lot lighter than it looks. ?

Bump. Due to recent question from another forum member.
Anyone come up with a better solution yet than we did?

Are the LED lights one of the better features for use at night?

Those are super sweet. It’s just that not everybody wants a rack.

It folds down into a golf bag size…comes with a bag.

So by golf bag size do you mean it fits across the bed? Like a bed divider?

I was inspired by your post earlier this year and got the Camco hitch mount. Works great with my patio umbrella.

Really was a pretty inspiring post OP. Thank you for that. I don’t know that anyone here shelled out nearly two grand for the Humbra firefly which sure looks nice but is pretty unrealistically priced.
The concept is fantastic though.
