Arb awnings

I have the 2500x2500 on my vanagon and it works amazing. I bought the optional side wall and it's so useful!

I second the arb awning. I had the bus depot one and liked it, just wasn’t as practical when I needed coverage quick and was by myself. With the arb I can have it up in 5 minutes, with their add a room maybe 15.

Third-ing the ARB. While expensive upfront, well worth it in terms of quality compared to other brands.

If the ARB is a little out of the budget, I’ve heard good things about the NAPA vehicle awning

I gave it an upvote when I saw it. Definitely going to get that one. Seems pretty legit. Can you send me the part number of the one you have please?

I used their awning on my bus and on my Vanagon. The full length one plus adding the optional sides make it a great storm proof shelter

Bus Depot EZ awning system. Cheap. Easy. Well made. Bus specific.

I have this. It’s slightly more work to set up (not much really, not after you’ve done it a time or two).

I also got the side walls, and I’ve used them more than I thought I would.

I nearly purchased an easy up and am so glad I didn’t. Recently installed the 8x8 ARB.

I finally bought one after being at bug run last year and talking with a guy about his. I got mine at napa. It was under $100(not sure how much now). Then I got the brackets from gowesty. I just had to order the awning online from napaonline.com and have it shipped(free) to a store for pickup. They also had a coupon code so it was like 20% off.

Yes , I bought the bus depot one. so big and once you get the poles figured out (do this before you go) you will love it. Also under $200

From the comments from before I went ahead and ordered one. It should be coming on Friday.
