When choosing an awning, you’ll be faced with several high-quality designs when browsing our collection, a fact that can make selecting the right one for you pretty difficult. There are after all many types of 4x4s awnings to explore, including the fully enclosed awning room and the traditional awning structure.
But, why should you choose between an awning and an awning room when you could fit both? Read on to discover our guide to adding an awning and awning room to your 4WD vehicle.
Choose your awning
When it comes to awnings, Australian brands and some of the world’s largest manufacturers of 4×4 accessories, ARB, really is the best in the business. Alongside their range of hard and soft shell roof top tents, ARB’s awnings provide a comfortable home away from home that’ll be welcomed with open arms by those travelling off-road and exploring the harshest environments.
With many featuring anodised height adjustable telescopic legs, Velcro ties, and thick reinforced aluminium extrusions, you’ll be well protected from the elements. ARB awnings are also compatible with most roof racks and bars to ensure easy installation and use.
The selection of sizes available from ARB makes finding an awning that works for you as simple as it should be. We recommend our ARB 2.0m and 2.5m awnings for great weather protection and premium touring features. Did we mention that some of these pull-out awnings come with LED lighting too?
Find a compatible awning room
ARB’s awning range doesn’t stop there. As well as providing casing to safeguard your awning when it isn’t in use, their awnings can be easily and quickly combined with a corresponding awning room to increase your coverage further.
ARB’s Deluxe 2.0m awning room and 2.5m awning room facilitate a fully enclosed design to boost protection and privacy. They also feature a durable floor, large mesh windows, roll-up blinds and zippered doors.
Whilst these awning rooms cannot be used alone, they are compatible with an ARB awning of a corresponding size, with their integrated roofs hanging below the main awning canvas.
Enjoy your new off-road setup
Awnings are great additions to any 4×4 setup. With the right awning in tow, you can be prepared for anything, with every day and off-road challenges easy to overcome as Practical Motoring details:
“The great thing about fitting an awning to your vehicle is it’s always there when you need it. Whether you’re down at the park watching the kids play footy when it starts to drizzle, or you’re out and about in the scrub and you need to get out of the sun to enjoy some lunch, all you have to do is roll out your awning, extend some poles and voila… instant shelter. Awnings are also a great place to roll out your swag when the weather takes a turn for the worse.”
With your awning and awning room fitted, you can enjoy a 6-sided structure that’s purpose-built for leisure and off-road use. Your awning and awning room combo can be used as a bedroom, day room, or bike storage for many, many off-road adventures to come.
