SHADY DEALS

SHADY DEALS A VEHICLE-MOUNTED AWNING IS THE QUICKEST AND EASIEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WE FITTED AN ARB AWNING TO OUR RANGER.

AS SUMMER came to a close and the cooler touring months were approaching, we were packing the Ranger for a trip to the inaugural ARB 4x4 Culture Live event at Loveday Park in South Australia, followed by some travel out to Lake Gairdner. Summer might have passed, but where we were headed still promised hot days and cool nights.

We thought it timely to fit an awning to the Ranger to give us some shade on those hot days, and after looking at the many options available we settled on the ARB Awning & Light Kit. As the name suggests, this is the standard ARB canvas awning, but it comes with an LED lights strip built in to the canvas.

ARB awnings come in a range of sizes and models that all use 300gsm Ripstop canvas for the main cover, telescopic aluminium legs and arm poles, and all the required tie-downs and pegs. The standard ARB awning comes in a heavy-duty PVC bag or can be ordered in a stylish aluminium case (2.5m x 2.5m only), with or without the inbuilt light. The two available sizes are 2m x 2.5m or 2.5m x 2.5m.
