Ironman Awning Room Review and ARB Annex Comparison

After 3 weeks staying in the Ironman Awning Room it has done extremely well. We have had wind and rain on a few occasions and it handled them like a champ. It also fits perfectly with my ARB awning. I have no problem recommending this product. I could actually not even find the awning room listed on Amazon. I would recommend checking the Ironman official site if you are looking to make a purchase and check multiple sites for the cheapest price. Also be on the lookout for sales.

I must say overland calling I like your video I think I will come back and watch you again this is my first time being here on your channel

[@OverlandCalling]

Welcome to the channel and glad you liked the vid! If you have any questions just let me know.

You already mentioned it but had same thought those flaps for wind keeping the draft out velcro would work amazing here so a really quick solution.

[@OverlandCalling]

They thought of most everything else. It really surprised me that they didn't include velcro. In the wind it was not too bad, but every little bit helps and that fix seems super cheap. I may break out my sewing machine and give the mod a shot. I hate being cold camping. Getting soft in my old age LOL!

That looks like Table Rock up in the Linville Gorge of NC. What mountain is that in the distance?

[@OverlandCalling]

You are 100% right! I was camped off of old NC 105 for 5 days when I made this video.

Very cool. I stayed there for the first time last fall. I am interested in the ARB awning, and using the Ironman anex with it. Does this affect the use of the integrated led light of the ARB awning? I would not think so, but could not tell. Thanks for making the video. Was very helpful.

[@OverlandCalling]

@@oOoJamMasterJoOo it does pretty much cut out most of the light from the LED on the awning. Even on full blast it is not much more than a nightlight. You can hang a lantern from the loops on the sides or they have a separate LED light strip you can hang. I just went with using a lantern or light ranger since I already had them. Works pretty well, but not the same as the awesome multicolor light built into the awning.

I appreciate the info. I have a Hardkorr light set I could use, but I really like that integrated strip. I’ll have to think on it now. Thanks again for the solid review and the follow up.

@@oOoJamMasterJoOo I used the ARB awning on my last 6.5 foot ARB awning. It was not bad. Dealbreaker for me was that it leaked through the door and T side openings. Since me and the pup slept down there I didn’t go that route this time. If I was not sleeping in it I would have a hard decision. I loved that dang awning light too.
