Arb awning vs smittybilt awning.

So i also have the smittybilt 8 2x6 2 awning and i ordered the arb deluxe awning room in both the 2000x2500mm 6 56x8 2ft and the 2500x2500mm 8 20x8 20ft. The arb quick release awning brackets provide excellent mounting options for all arb awnings to arb roof racks. These australian made brackets are built from quality 3mm powder coated steel which are zinc plated to resist corrosion and rubbing. The aluminum encasement is easier to use than the traditional arb awning and is easily deployed using three quick release bungees and flip up lid.

Smittybilt didn t offer an awning in this size so we went with an arb 814301. 2 5m w x 2 5m l 2 0m w x 2 5m l 1 25m w x 2 1m l comes with pegs and guy ropes for securing legs stainless steel mounting nuts and bolts and comprehensive instructions. Both the smittybilt overlander tent and the arb simpson tent are great. Length being the distance from the vehicle out.

The arb 2500 awning has been a valuable piece of overland vehicle gear for our travel through central america and beyond. It is approximately 4 6 x 6 6 so it certainly provides more cover than a rear hatch would although it takes slightly longer to deploy. Built with heavy duty cover uv stabilized cover 600gsm and the bag with 500d pvc with zipper. Smittybilt tent awning has two sizes.

The awning room will attach to the smittybilt just fine. For 6 5 awning it measures at 6 5 x 6 5 while 8 2 awning at 8 2 x 6 5. On the other hand the arb tent is a little lighter so if you are trying to travel light it might be for you. However the smittybilt tent is usually a bit cheaper and gives you better value for money.
