Crazy an awning so expensive has so much diy to it. Im buying this to replace our tuff stuff 270 but that one was already 99 percent put together and took way less efffort to mount . At less than half the price 🤷

@@seanwatson3790 Hey bud Yeah I get what you’re saying. I guess the good thing about that is that you are more flexible on how and where you mount it and aren’t limited to where they have the studs coming out for you. Not sure how the other one came when you had it but with the way I fitted mine and on the Arb system the brackets can only go in very specific spots so the studs for the awning would have to be in the correct spot. And to be honest it wasn’t really that hard and didn’t take too long. The filming of it made it take a lot longer.

@@TravelExplore4x4 I had to use the universal ones it came with because they were flat enough to fit underneath where I have my tent mounted. Don't have a lot of clearance. Which is worrying me about this one a bit cuz the brackets aren't as thin as I might be needing them to be to fit under the tent to my rack
