ARB Awning & Awning Room Review

Part of our Short Reviews, in this video we do a short review on the ARB Awning and Awning room. This is the 2500x2500 or 8.2' version. We do a Timelapse of putting it up and I cover our build out inside. It gets 5 stars for sure, with the only issue we've had was a failed LED strip in awning itself that ARB warrantied no questions asked.

Is there a way to secure the opening around the trailer side? Looks like it is open and would allow wind/rain to enter. Thanks for sharing.

[@wanderlustoverland]

yes. That side does zip shut for inclement weather and it is possible to do that while inside the trailer.

Just bought one. Would love to know what tie downs you are using and where you got those bags that hold your tie downs rather than stakes. Thank you.

[@wanderlustoverland]

Thanks for checking out the video. The tie downs are "Quick tie-downs" and the stakes and stake bag are from Ground Grabba

Cool awning. Is it possible to unzip the floor?

[@wanderlustoverland]

yes. we leave it attached because it's easier to store that way

Nice! How is it in heavy winds?

[@wanderlustoverland]

ARB says it’ll do 100 mile an hour winds. I wouldn’t trust that however we have seen 60+ miles an hour and it’s been fine. It flaps a little bit against the trailer. Other than that not a big deal.

[@peterkunc3929]

is the material water proof?

[@wanderlustoverland]

it's treated. the water beads but if you let it sit it will soak through

[@peterkunc3929]

Thanks@@wanderlustoverland

Is it safe to sleep in there?

[@wanderlustoverland]

100% I know of a few folks that only have this awning and awning room and they put cots in there and use it like a tent.

[@peterkunc3929]

I meant the material of the awning room

[@wanderlustoverland]

it's treated. the water beads but if you let it sit it will soak through

Your new LED light won’t work either. I had a total of three and found out the plug is wired incorrectly. Your existing one works just try different configuration of the plug from led light to controller.

[@wanderlustoverland]

The original LED strip worked for nearly a year. We installed the replacement and it worked fine our whole trip.
