    Hey guys-
    Building my 16' out and was wondering if there was any input on these two awnings. I know smittybilt makes one too, but I'm not able to find any videos to take a look at the thing. Any other brands out there I should be looking into? Thanks

    I have both because I needed a dome for the rear. Both are high quality however if ARB made a dome awning I would have purchased it. Not overly excited about the Rhino-rack color.

    I have the Rhino Rack awning with the side wall and extra roof, well put together and I've had no issues. My awning color is nothing like @ctfriel dome, it is a solid color and darker.

    It all comes down to the accessories honestly. I have owned/do own both, and both have their uses.
    ARB has more accessories with ROOMS where rhino rack has more with walls. I prefer the ARB rooms vs rhino rack only having the screen room for its awnings.

    ARB will get my vote on the straight out awnings. ALUcab if you can afford it instead of the foxwing for sure.

    Does the Foxwing set-up mount easily to pre-existing Rhino Rack bars? I had a set in the garage and mounted them to the roof...thinking I will use them to mount an awning if possible

    Quick question, what trailer is that and how much is it. I'm looking for a trailer just like that.

    It is a micro-lite cargo-lite and pm me for price. I had them build in some custom stuff vs. their regular offerings, the thread above will show you more.

    Leaving Friday to bounce around central and northern AZ with it, much needed!
