Read my ARB Awning review at: http://www.nickcarverphotography.com/blog/camping-essentials-arb-2000-awning/ The ARB Enclosed Room (a.k.a. Awning Room with Floor) is the perfect way to set up a kitchen at camp. With its 2 large mesh windows and spacious interior, you'll find an easy-to-set-up respite from the bugs and wind. The room also features 2 vents at the top to let the heat out, 2 access ports for an extension cord or propane hose, and a large zip-open panel for access to your car door. The enclosed room featured in this video is for the ARB 2000 Awning, which measures about 6.5-feet wide. With the awning extended all the way out, that gives the enclosed room an interior size of about 6-foot by 7-foot. Height depends on how tall your truck is and how high the awning is mounted on it. Although ARB doesn't explicitly recommend it for use as a tent, I found it to be the perfect sleeping quarters when I go solo camping. I wouldn't recommend using it as a tent in extremely inclement weather as the awning may not be strong enough to resist the extra weight and surface area in strong winds. But for relatively calm conditions and I'm sure even some steady rain, this product would hold up great. If you have an ARB awning, this enclosed room may be the perfect camping essential to add to your list. My ARB awning is mounted to a Gobi Stealth Roof Rack using modified Rhino Rack 31103 awning mounts. The awning does not come with mounting brackets, but it does include mounting screws, stakes, and guy wires.
