ARB 2500 awning

What did you use as a flat?

 

Use the handle end another top and the threaded end towards the ground.
When you're not using it for rain you can use it as a flag pole if so inclined.

 

Saved some money...
They didn't have any.......

 

Found a few photos of my first experience of tenting the awning because of rain. Spent two days in the awning room during a several day trip to Saline Valley.

 

Nice

 

I modified my ARB 2500 a few years back to use on the LR Disco2 I had...I used heavier fabric, 3 layer windows with #10 YKK zippers...the roof bows solve all of the rain problems mentioned earlier...just took it on a 2 week trip down to Moab, Arches, Canyonland etc and because we were moving every few days it was great...ping me for additional info on it...

 

I like it.

 

Me too!
More information please.

 

I am curious about the bowed roof. I had pictured some plastic piping last week. But that was just in my imagination.

 

Thanks all...I’ll be airing it out tommorow and will take some detail pics...good catch @2Toyotas I was wondering who’s pick up on those...they make it work...I’ll link them when I post pics ...

 

meanwhile the roof bows: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/lip...VJdHCBB2auQ7ZEAQYASABEgIfQvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

Interesting.
My awning is 8 ft from side of vehicle, but 6.5 ft front to back.
2000 x 2500 awning.

 

Yeah mines the 2500 x 2500...The bows are about 50+” slid together...each end slides and locks to whatever ...I drilled 1/2” holes on the inside the front bar spaced to place the peg end of the 2 bows I used...the flat end just tucks into the top of the base rail...marked those spots with a sharpie for repeatability...

 

Is your awning an ARB?

 

Late to the party here, but I have the same set-up. You should be OK.

 

Yes it is...

 

I will look at mine this week to visualize what you are describing.

Thanks for the tips.

 

We use fake grass inside and outside the awning. A grass 'rug' fits inside perfect as bought from Lowe's (or Home Depot?)

 

@ricphoto
Still not sure how you did it.

 

sorry about the poor quality pics but truck is in the body shop this week (hit and run side swipe ) hope this helps...truck should be back soon and will reshoot...
