X2 on the ease of mounting to a Yakima system. If you go with the 2500 awning you will need 3 mounting points. You can buy with the smaller awning and get away with 2 mounting points. The key will be the vertical bolt hole placement, the horizontal are infinitely adjustable along the length of the awning.
x much on more snaps, thanks!
my outsider 2c:
if yr going w/3 yakima mounts, might as well do the yak sliders at the same time, as they require precise hole drilling in the bars. (link to follow)
...I'm going on a four day 150 mile mountain bike trip in September and I am using my 62 as a chase vehicle. This would be perfect for a bike repair area and a Margarita at the end of the day area.
That ARB looks at home up there. Nicely done!
Overland Journal did a review on a hand full of these awnings in the latest issue....can't remember who won.....Great test job they did using a plane for the wind![]()
So how good are the ARB awnings in wind? anyone has real world experience?
I understand that no awning will survive a real storm, but how about some unexpected strong gusts?
thanks

Link for my install using Yakima towers below....
...As-is they're actually plenty strong and haven't been an issue. Either going down the road with a 40 mph wind, or with the awning deployed and staked down...
We'll see. Usually once I spout off about how I have something "figured out", I get smited pretty good. Look for my next thread titled "ARB awning launches itself to Canada due to owners negligence"Cool, sounds like you've got it setup!![]()
Races canceled tonight. Bummer. Too wet. Should be good to go tomorrow.
The bolts have to go just like they are or you can't spin the Yakima tnuts. Not enough clearance. Still tweaking it.![]()
...Kurt: would love to see Arb's mounting option...
