ARB 813208A Awning Room Accesory (Deluxe w/Floor 2000mm x 2500mm Heavy Duty) for ARB Awning 814409 2000x25000

I took our ARB awning and awning room on its maiden voyage this past weekend. Took my son on a mother/child campout where we would be tent camping for two nights and they let me use my new tent. I wanted to give it a go for a trial run, before we went off on a big camping trip. I was very impressed with the quality and quick setup of this tent with the help of two rowdy boys. I bought a patio rug to lay down on the floor, worked perfect! We only used one cot, but there is definitely room for two. Would easily sleep four people. The mosquitos were horrible this weekend and the mesh did an awesome job keeping the bugs out. This is exactly why we bought this tent. We did have to sleep with the outer windows open because it was still pretty warm in LA for camping. But I do believe it would hold in the heat during the winter months with or without a heater. It held up great in the wind after staking it down. I was actually worried it was going to launch a few times, but it took the wind like a champ. We thought that it was going to rain, part of me wanted to see how the windows would hold up in the rain. It sure would've got hot quick if we had to zip up the outside windows. I'm worried about water coming down the space between the Jeep and the awning. But it never rained, so didn't have the chance to test it out. Thinking I will have to bring a tarp to throw over that space in case of storms. Overall, I was very impressed and so were the other parents! I can't wait to take it on our next adventure!

I used it twice in combination with my ARB awning and slept in it one night with wind gusts and rain. To set up the awning you need two people, but this tent you can do alone. Its an easy slide-in at the car side, as well at the outside, and clip on on the two other sides. If you hate setting up a normal tent, you will love setting up this product. The light strip is just an easy connection with your car 12V cigarette plug, or with a portable battery. The cable that comes with it is long enough. The space inside is great. I am 6ft2 and cannot look over the roof of my SUV, which means I can stand up straight in this tent. And 3x me could lie in it on a mattress. During day time you can zip open all sides and you will be protected by mosquito nets. At night you can leave some open to get air in or close it all off and be perfectly protected against the elements. I had big wind gusts in North Texas with rain, and the tent kept up and everything on the inside was dry next morning.You need to be aware that due to the square shape and due to different car sizes it is mounted to, the set-up is not necessarily as tight as with a normal tent, also not when using the tent pegs and guy lines. This results in more flapping noise from the sides than you would have with a normal tent, especially with wind gusts. That is the only disadvantage I could think of sofar.

Purchased the ARB awning about 6 years ago for use on road trips and back country off road camping. The awning is awesome, not one time have we had an issue with it. We knew we wanted the awning room but thought we’d wait. 6 years later, we just purchased the awning room and used it in the beach Christmas Eve, used it again New Year’s Eve up country. Absolutely fantastic. Had the dogs sleeping in there with us, just used the 8” memory foam mattress that we have for sleeping in the 4 runner.The zippers are high quality and match up at the corners very well.The canvas is thick and durable.Screen is quality and sewn well.The floor basin is durable and water proof.Setup is so simple, it’s kinda ridiculous.The outer wall, the one the parallel to the side of the car....doubles as a shade tarp and already has grommets in the corners.I’m super happy with this purchase and disappointed that I waited so long. If you have the ARB awning, get the room too; you will not regret it. Bomber.

We have camped in this awning room twice and are very impressed with it so far. Seems very well thought out and durable, and quite spacious for two people and two small dogs. It's nice to be able to stand up in the room! We also like that the floor is a "tub" design, where the bottom fabric/material goes up higher than ground-level. This way, if it rains, the floor seams aren't sitting on the wet ground. We like how the ceiling of the room has a transparent strip to accommodate the LED light built into the awning. And we like how the sides can be completely closed for privacy/warmth, or completely open with mosquito netting.
