ARB 813208A Awning Room Accesory (Deluxe w/Floor 2000mm x 2500mm Heavy Duty) for ARB Awning 814409 2000x25000

This is a great awning tent/room. Comes with everything needs to secure tent. Great addition to my van for camping. Gives privacy when zipped up. Allow a good breeze when using the screens. Screens keeps bugs out. Adds a nice room to change in, or add few extra beds for friends. Thanks

I used it twice in combination with my ARB awning and slept in it one night with wind gusts and rain. To set up the awning you need two people, but this tent you can do alone. Its an easy slide-in at the car side, as well at the outside, and clip on on the two other sides. If you hate setting up a normal tent, you will love setting up this product. The light strip is just an easy connection with your car 12V cigarette plug, or with a portable battery. The cable that comes with it is long enough. The space inside is great. I am 6ft2 and cannot look over the roof of my SUV, which means I can stand up straight in this tent. And 3x me could lie in it on a mattress. During day time you can zip open all sides and you will be protected by mosquito nets. At night you can leave some open to get air in or close it all off and be perfectly protected against the elements. I had big wind gusts in North Texas with rain, and the tent kept up and everything on the inside was dry next morning.You need to be aware that due to the square shape and due to different car sizes it is mounted to, the set-up is not necessarily as tight as with a normal tent, also not when using the tent pegs and guy lines. This results in more flapping noise from the sides than you would have with a normal tent, especially with wind gusts. That is the only disadvantage I could think of sofar.

Works great with arb awning. Appears to be very well made. Wish the connection to the inside of the awning was a zipper style like the other side instead of having to thread the whole tent through the groove.

I took our ARB awning and awning room on its maiden voyage this past weekend. Took my son on a mother/child campout where we would be tent camping for two nights and they let me use my new tent. I wanted to give it a go for a trial run, before we went off on a big camping trip. I was very impressed with the quality and quick setup of this tent with the help of two rowdy boys. I bought a patio rug to lay down on the floor, worked perfect! We only used one cot, but there is definitely room for two. Would easily sleep four people. The mosquitos were horrible this weekend and the mesh did an awesome job keeping the bugs out. This is exactly why we bought this tent. We did have to sleep with the outer windows open because it was still pretty warm in LA for camping. But I do believe it would hold in the heat during the winter months with or without a heater. It held up great in the wind after staking it down. I was actually worried it was going to launch a few times, but it took the wind like a champ. We thought that it was going to rain, part of me wanted to see how the windows would hold up in the rain. It sure would've got hot quick if we had to zip up the outside windows. I'm worried about water coming down the space between the Jeep and the awning. But it never rained, so didn't have the chance to test it out. Thinking I will have to bring a tarp to throw over that space in case of storms. Overall, I was very impressed and so were the other parents! I can't wait to take it on our next adventure!

I love how easily this goes up and it seems well constructed. We purchased mostly to use as a screen tent.It does not shine in the rain though. We're using it now at a bike race and it has been raining moderately on and off. No heavy downpour and mostly straight down rain, so not terrible conditions. Do to the nature of the tent, straight walls and zippers all over, it takes on a lot of water. If you have an awning already, you'll know that you have to drop a corner to shed rain. Because the tent room is designed to be used at full height, have one corner low makes is sag and exasperates the leaking in that corner.Really, this awning room would have been far better off without a floor. It adds bulk and requires cleaning, and makes the leaking far worse because it collects the water. I'm not looking forward to trying to dry this thing out tomorrow.Overall I'm happy with it as a bug room, but can't give five stars with the water issues.

Not sure how I camped before this but never again will I have a setup without one. This is used as our movie room at night, my office when I work from the campsite and its the dogs favorite spot to take an afternoon nap. Be very careful with the floor tho. It can get damaged if set up on rocky surface and there is alot of walking.

We have camped in this awning room twice and are very impressed with it so far. Seems very well thought out and durable, and quite spacious for two people and two small dogs. It's nice to be able to stand up in the room! We also like that the floor is a "tub" design, where the bottom fabric/material goes up higher than ground-level. This way, if it rains, the floor seams aren't sitting on the wet ground. We like how the ceiling of the room has a transparent strip to accommodate the LED light built into the awning. And we like how the sides can be completely closed for privacy/warmth, or completely open with mosquito netting.
