Love my ARB 2000. Use it at shows (write-off) and camping. Just ordered the awning room to make camping a little more comfortable for wifey. Real easy to set up, take down and install on truck. Very happy with the ARB.

Yep..they were very helpful with the purchase of the RTT.

Anyone have any thoughts on the CVT? I'm tempted by the new Baroud one but I have a CVT RTT already.
I'm in the same boat I'm between the Baroud and the ARB. ARB has been great in the past... but Baroud has 5yr warranty... I can't find anyone around here that has touched both, and Baroud is slim on information. The European website says there is a zipper bag for protection for the Baroud, but no pictures show it. I would welcome any input from anyone who has seen both.

I have a Tepui awning, same as ARB/TuffStuff/Ironman, and it fits directly into the rails of my Tuff Stuff RTT. If you already have a CVT, I would recommend sticking with the brand as it should integrate and make install easier if you already have the RTT mounted.
The batwing awnings are sweet but be sure you tailgate won't hit the awning when opened. Ideal for side opening rear doors.

Do you by chance have an aerial view of the awning deployed? I'd like to see how much of the Jeep gets shaded, and how the "sitting" area is covered.

I've had a Fiamma F35pro on my 4-Runner for several years now. Really like the alum outer case....painted it flat black to match my Frontrunner rack
I bought a set of brackets for my 1984 Westy so I can use the awning on both rigs.

did you get the Baroud? I have their RTT as well, but went with the ARB 2500 awning with the room. I'm really loving the combo. I was worried about the foxwing type awnings in the wind, plus i've noticed IMHO, they seem to sag pretty bad between each pole.
I have used my awning in HEAVY rain and HEAVY winds and if staked out properly, it did phenomenal. Very pleased. Plus the mesh windows in the room are fine enough to stop no-see-ums.

Ditto- the boys at ok4wd are great to deal with- Jim and Rin are the guys that helped me with my Baroud Grand Raid XXL. Even though they are about as far away from Utah as you can get and still be in the continental US, it was like they were right next door.
