ARB Awning Room Input?

[REDrum]

ARB customer service is nothing short of excellent. While there are many competitors with slightly less price point, ARB stands behind their products.

I haven't used the room in the rain yet so I can't say

What is the best height to mount this to get the full use of the awning room? Just ordered this and building a mount while I am waiting for it to arrive.

hmmmm i don't have measurements but if you look at my post earlier in the thread mine is pretty much fully extended. My truck is on a 4 inch lift with 35 inch tires, plus the height of the roof rack... so that's at least 7ish feet.

I found the hight of mounts was pretty much dictated by top of doors and top of rack.

I am trying to figure out how tall the awning room walls are. I can mount this at whatever height I want, but want to maximize the length of the walls without over extending them.

Do you think it would work for the Series III 88"? I like these for price, size etc and would like to open up into the Rover. Any experience with that?thanks

Unless you have full roof line basket rack on your 88 it may be a a bit awkward over the doors

Thanks Redrum! Never saw that one when I did a search.

Those of you running the awning + room (w/ floor), overall thoughts on the setup? Happy with it? what do you not like, what would you change, etc? Trying to figure out the best option for a family setup (wife and 2yr old son). love the idea of RTT's, just not sure how practical it is for us. Really like the Oztent RV series, but pricey. This seems it could be the solution, just looking for some opinions and possible pics of you guys actually running a setup like this.

Thanks

I'm also looking at one with a floor, but thinking about their design has me a little concerned for rainwater. The sides stake down around the floor, but the ground can still get soaked since the floor and walls aren't connected or sealed.

Any experience with rain that can be shared?

There is a 6 sided version (floor and roof) and only a 4 sided version.

As for camping with family at a minimum you'll need the 2500x2500 version, and IMO it will be a tight fit. OZtent 5 would be a better family tent and could be left set up apart from the truck, that is the route we're going; but yes near double the cost of an awning and enclosed room set up.

Just bought awning room and awning. Not delivered yet and I am leaving in 3 weeks for an 8 week trip. Anyone know What size the awning room is folded up? I am looking to order a cargo box for the roof, like Front Runner's Wolf Pack and want to make sure the awning room will fit in the box or if i need to find a bigger box.
