Review on ARB 813208A Awning Deluxe ARB4402A by Hamilton Larcony

Last weekend I took our awning and ARB awning on its first trip. Took my son to a mother and child camp where we were to pitch a tent for two nights and I was allowed to use my new tent. I wanted to test it out before we go on a big hike. I was very impressed with the quality and how quickly this tent was set up with the help of two hooligans. I bought a patio mat to put on the floor, worked great! We only used one bed but there is definitely enough room for two. With four it would have been easy. The mosquitoes were terrible this weekend and the netting did a great job of keeping the bugs out. That's why we bought this tent. We actually had to sleep with the outside window open because it was still quite warm in LA for camping. But I believe it will handle the heat in the winter months with or without heating. After putting it on, it held up well in the wind. I was actually worried it would run a couple of times but the wind came through like a champ. We thought it was going to rain, part of me wanted to see how the windows would hold up in the rain. Of course it would be hot if we had to close the outside windows. I'm worried about water getting into the space between the jeep and the awning. But it wasn't raining so there was no way to check. I think I'll need to bring a tarp to cover this place in case of a storm. Overall, I was very impressed, as were other parents! I can't wait to take him on our next adventure!
