Best awnings??

Hayley, It will be the best money you spend. I have an open sky and they are great, my mate has an ARB and there is no difference, except the price. Just always use the pegs to hold the legs in position as the slightest wind will lift them.
So where is the trip going to take you??

We've got a Gunyah from www.go4x4.com.au which is very well made, doesn't seem to need pegging down unless there is a stiff breeze. Guess it also depends how it is orientated with respect to the wind too.

$300 delivered and made in SEQ so if yr in or near brissie, very local.

I almost bought one after reviews, now going to make my own only cause I am a tight arse and actually don't need one that I can open in 60 seconds and I don't want to store it on my roof cause I usually don't carry roof racks.

One extendable square Superpeg tarp pole, screw in 3 bimini deck thingos to hold in 3 snap locks for the 3 tarp holes, ubars to hold the pole to the roof racks, and a 8" x 12" decent tarp, and the 2 poles and ropes I already have. Haven't put it all together yet still to get the bmini bits from whitworths. No it would be as good and as taut as a bought one but for under $50 it will do the job I need and I estimate about 2 min. I'll just be rollinng it up with the poles and keeping in the back of the ute.

Gday Hayley,

we have an open sky and its great for quick se tup and pack ups.

However they could be a little longer, we used to use a 8 x 12 tarp on the side of the car, we noticed the difference with the new awning.
Other than that we are happy with our purchase, the first time we set up camp in torrential rain with the open sky, it paid for itself then and there.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Was going to get an Open Sky awning but decided on the ARB one instead. Hub gets 40% off all ARB stuff so it made sense. Would have been nice if they were made a bit longer though. oh well.
