Ready to purchase an ARB awning. What do do you folks recommend? Also planning to buy a roof rack, looking at the Dissent. Would like some real world advice for fit and suitability for short weekend adventures. Anything longer and I will use the motorhome to keep my wife happy with a/c. clean toilet and her TV.
ARB 2000 or 2500 for '07 L.C.

I run a 2500 on a dissent rack. No problems or complaints with either. 2500 is a little tricky to set up with one person, but can be done with a little practice.
I’m usually doing 1-3 night adventures with two people and a dog. Once or twice a year we do a weeklong excursion.
One plus about the dissent is it is very easy to remove the awning if you don’t want it mounted for daily driving. I leave mine mounted full time.

2500 on factory roof rack.
I don’t like how the 2500 sticks out either, but it covers the front door when it’s raining out.
I’m in the PNW so it rains quite a bit.

2500, I love it.
That looks proper.
Low rise awning mounts?
One offs a friend had made a while back. Found you can also flip the ARB mounts upside down and accomplish same. Just need to re-drill holes.
If you plan to use it with the awning room, the 2500 allows you to access the front seat while inside. My kiddo and I stayed in Ouray and just used the awning tent each night - it was perfect for the two of us and we could access the front and middle seats if we needed to.

If I get the awning room as I plan to do, then I need the 2500? I like the clean look of the 2000 but want a good fitting room for the grandkids to sleep in.
Thanks for all the replies and photos guys, Y 'all are awesome!

Don't buy an awning for the looks! -----> Buy an awning for your needs.
2500 offers 25% more protection against rain or sun.

They offer an awning room to fit either option. But you have to buy the room to fit that awning.
