ARB Room for Awning? (1 Viewer)

[Mute916]

Hi All,

I'm looking at getting an awning for the GX470. I want to get the ARB Room but dont really want to get the ARB awning. The room looks like it's a pretty universal fit...

Has anyone tried using it on a different brand awning? If the other awning is same size awning as the ARB(2000 x 2000), will it work?

I have the ARB awning room mounted to a Yakima Slim Shady awning on our teardrop. It’s pretty much a universal fit IMO and I needed no mods to make it work.

I don't own an awning. Makes more sense to me to just use a portable gazebo. Cheap. light, and quick. GG601DS GAZELLE G6 PORTABLE GAZEBO 6 SIDES - DESERT SAND - https://www.gazelletents.com/Product/gg601ds-gazelle-g6-portable-gazebo-6-sides-desert-sand-copy-13400

Portable gazebos are a serious wind hazard. Unless you really tie them down, it doesn't take much of a gust to flip one over and move it a long ways, even if they are staked down. They're worse than a tent because sides are open and wind can lift it from the bottom. Lot's of people use them for camping/taiilgating/etc, but I'm not a fan for the related wind/safety concerns. At least the the awning it's attached to the vehicle on one side and can easily be retracted in the event of a thunderstorm (which can pop up quickly on a summer camping trip).
