![]() Maybe mine came off of a bad batch of fabric, he sent me a video of a black awning holding water and one of the other members here said his lasted hours in the rain. I'll get it sealed this week and report back. He has offered to make it right but I told him to hold off, seeing as how I still have the first awning he shipped me that was the wrong size, and I would try a can of tent sealer. Our first night out was rainy and the awning started to leak very quickly, I messaged ARQ when we got home and sent a video of it leaking. There is a language barrier but he is very responsive. During the installation ARQ was available using WhatsApp messenger for input on the mounting method. First it was the wrong shipment, then the next one was damaged before it made it out of the country, then the last one was lost for a few weeks by FedEx. I did experience troubles with delivery and shipping so it took 5 months before I received it. ![]() ![]() So far based on my experience, for the price I'd buy one again. I recently received my ARQ4WD 6.5 foot 270 degree awning. We wheel our rigs, and i've banged mine up against several trees. the rigid poles all the way around make it much tighter, quieter, and stronger in inclement weather. but once you have it setup, its features are hard to beat at the price point, especially if you want walls. it takes me a few minutes, not one minute. what I tell folks is if you want the awning that is fastest to deploy we won't win that contest. you can also hang towels, wet clothes, and all sorts of other gear on it as you can see I did at the lake in the picture. its excellent in rain, wind, and even snow. Our wraptor 2000 is smaller and doesn't incur the oversize charge so shipping on it is much cheaper. The longest package you can ship UPS is 108". $200 flat rate is what we charge to ship a RTT and is truck freight (Technically if you buy a RTT we can put the wraptor on the same pallet for free). ARB does not include brackets with the awnings because every fitment may require a different style of bracket.Id like to correct one thing- shipping isn't $200- you just didn't hit the calculate shipping button. The ARB Touring Awning comes with pegs and guy ropes for securing legs, stainless steel mounting nuts and bolts and comprehensive instructions. (Length being the distance from the Vehicle out). ARB Awnings come in three great sizes, and fit up to 2.1m high mounting points. Specifically designed for harsh wilderness conditions, the awnings feature anodized height adjustable telescopic legs, hook and loop ties to secure roof, thick reinforced aluminum extrusions all secured and free from the outside elements in a heavy duty nylon reinforced PVC bag.Ĭonstructed from tough PU coated 300gsm poly/cotton rip stop canvas, the awnings are fully waterproof and offer a UVP 50+ rating. Attaching neatly to most vehicles, these self-standing retractable awnings fit onto the side of most roof racks and roof bars, and are conveniently stored for immediate use on arrival. This added integrity and reliability has gained the respect from the off-road, outdoor, and overland industry. The ARB Touring Awnings are designed to handle the harsh conditions in the Australian Outback.
