Review on πŸ”§ Quick Release Kit 1 for ARB Awning Bracket - Compatible with All ARB Awning Models, Product Code ARB 813405 by Joz Lowe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very strong but not sure if finished or well designed

As it is designed for use with an ARB awning it definitely will not fit an ARB awning. The canopy manual recommends using all 6 screws in the canopy mounting slot. As you can see in the photo, there are two brackets with 4 holes each, which means you need 8 screws. I confirmed this with ARB and they recommended I go to a hardware store and buy two more screws. It would be nice if I didn't pay a high price for this mount! Anyway, I got two more screws and then found that the holes on the bracket didn't line up with the slots in the awning. In fact, I believe that if you tighten the screws without making any adjustments, you will be bending the slots. I suspect ARB did this to mount multiple awnings and you could just use two screws per bracket. But it doesn't match the instructions for the awning. After fidgeting to get it to work I'm happy. Just make sure you really tighten the hanging nuts or I might see the awning come loose! I added another large 8mm nut and washer to the back of each hanger nut to keep the awning from loosening during shipping even if those original nuts loosen.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
