So.... are you talking about your custom built one in this thread? If so, what part of the country? Interested :)

After seeing an ARB awning with tent room I had to have one...and my wife needed to bribe me for yet another pet mini pig...


2500x2500 ARB with room


I got the awning installed last night (very straight forward since I got lucky and the local tractor supply had PERFECT brackets!!)

I couldn't install it on the flipping portion because it would be upside down one way and limit my useability...

The bed is 6.4 long and truck is around 6ft wide...2500 is about 8ft 3..this thing is HUGE!!! its PERFECT to put some bunk cots in for the 5 minions and 2 dogs and now 3 piggies (if they go camping..not sure on little ones yet..older one does NOT do car rides!!)

I got it mounted but got rained out before I could put the room on.

I snagged some pictures this weekend of my buddies setup that is 2500x2000 on his grand Cherokee..first time he camped in it...he's in LOVE...

Oh my GOD!! ITS HUGE!!! somehow I got sent the DELUXE AWNING ROOM!! the price wasn't any higher than the regular room ( Thomas CatzAuto killer deal!!)..with the fly propped out (gotta get 2 poles) its 13x8 worth of awning!! All the panels unzip so it turns into the screen room WITH a floor...even all the screens unzip..and the access panel,on the vehicle,side is 6ft wide!! It has hooks EVERYWHERE and an organizer bag that hangs..and 2 zippered access for power cords in the upper corners!!

Pretty sure all 5 kids can use cots without having to bunk them!!

With my blue awning and the flip top I now have 310 SQUARE FEET OF SHADE!!

IM BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!!! THANK YOU BABY!!!!

Thanks for the tip on these. So simple. Should work mounting our ARB to our Northstar MC600.

Yup...I was going to buy some flat mending brackets and bend them....looked 3 bins down and found these...they are formed with built in reinforcement (the pressed ridge adds a TON of strenght to these!!)

Im over 300lbs and have no issue with hanging on the awning..its SECURE!!

2.5 Bilstine lift installed this weekend..rides MUCH nicer!!

I ended up inflating the back air bags to 25psi to get it back level...dunno if I'm gonna add spacers or springs on the back..
