I didnt want a tent, so maybe this will work? First impressions ARB deluxe room

[@desertmaverick7567]

When I lived in Colorado Springs I would go hiking and camping in the Rockies. There were always Mountain Lions and Bears. I open carried a 44 Magnum S&W Mountain Gun and Bear Spray. Never had to use them. But those weapons sure made me feel safe. You stay safe too.

[@chowcares]

Thanks for the advice. I don’t own a gun, but probably should

[@MarkASantaInes]

That looks awesome! It really looks like the perfect alternative to a tent! Great work! Also, loving that ARB drawer system. Looks amazing!

[@chowcares]

😎😎😎

[@MarkASantaInes]

chowcares this video was so convincing, I had to get one for myself! Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@bilborobb2294]

Got to Thank you also as your fix on the intermittent starting issue worked, thanks.

[@chowcares]

Good to hear!

[@taskapermataibnukhaldun4439]

The problem I found was that rainwater could enter through the zip gap and the awning had to be tilted to one side so that the water on the awning could flow down.

[@TAkEdA31]

Nice!!! Been thinking of buying one for my arb awning.

[@chowcares]

So far I’ve only used it once, but seems to be a good investment!

[@S595Husky]

These are pretty sick.

[@robertwilson1827]

Great camp ideas! What do you do if you want to go exploring in your 4x4, after you have setup?

[@Brandon_B777]

How do you feel it would work in a rainstorm will it leak between the vehicle and the tent to go inside the tent?

[@chowcares]

Probably a bit, but have been lucky so far

[@gunnerovergaard9646]

Are you going to do a review of using it? Looks like a great alternative to the rooftop tent

[@chowcares]

That’s a great idea! I’ll try to gather some footage next time

[@nathanc5789]

Not a bad option for the job. Just be aware of your surroundings in bear country.

[@chowcares]

Bears are my greatest fear!

[@mikecheq45]

It’s humans you need to worry about

[@mojotuner]

did you end up sleeping inside? how was it?

[@1gglywggly580]

i just got mine!!!😎👍

[@chowcares]

Yeeee! How is it?

[@1gglywggly580]

chowcares i just bought it its on the way

[@huskynoob7881]

Very cool! been eyeing tough stuff rtt's but this looks like a nice inexpensive option to camp in more luxury compared to trunk air mattress... how does it do in wind?

[@chowcares]

Haven’t used it in strong winds yet, but it’ll handle light breezes just fine 😉

[@thebigempty_5792]

How do you like those ARB drawers? did you look at other brands and what made you choose those? Nice set up!!

[@chowcares]

They’re great! I’d looked at a few other options before deciding on the arb ones. Main deciding factor was the build quality, and the fit and finish. I use it as a fridge slide and a sleeping platform so I needed something that was well built. So far, it hasn’t let me down!

[@prestond]

You got the ARB drawers, nice! How was the install? I’ve searched all over the internet for an install video or instructions but can’t find any for the 100.

[@chowcares]

Keen eye! The install wasn’t too bad, however the instruction it came with are terrible. One of the drawers came damaged so I’m waiting for a replacement. When I get the replacement, I will post a full install vid

[@averagerider92]

Howse it do as a tent?

[@chowcares]

Not bad, flaps around a bit more but only when it’s really windy outside

[@averagerider92]

@@chowcares ahh yeah I can see that being a problem. Not bad though I guess. Thanks, ordered one for my trailer

[@EWOverland]

Place to buy and price

[@jlambert6084]

Does it have any lighting for night built in or do you have to get it separate?

[@williamlee7782]

need to get separately although I had seen a model where there is a transparent plastic strip at the center so ARB awnings that come with the LED light can shine through. It does not look like the model in the video has that feature.

[@proofpositive5741]

i slept in one of those on a trip to moab and if it gets windy, its really loud inside. Sounds like you are sleeping in a plastic bag.

[@chowcares]

When it’s windy yea. I’ve experienced both windy and calm, so far it hasn’t fallen apart!

[@millertb3550]

Pretty much a no-brainer on that

[@RoughRide]

I didn't want a tent....so I bought a tent. 😂

[@4x4adventureRo]

One question, please: is the floor removable? Thx

[@OOOBRB]

It is not but if you want one with a removable floor, Ironman 4x4 makes one that does that.

[@williamlee7782]

this must had updated the model because the floors can be zippered off in other videos I had seen.

[@laughoutlloyd8]

Whitney High School

[@chowcares]

[@ScottMatics]

Good ole Whitney High! Both my kids graduated from there :)

[@triptonmiller8532]

Speeding up a demo video is whack and useless for the viewer. Moving on to better videos.
