Amazon and ARB show the 2500 room as available but of course no discount.
I guess I just want to make sure that ARB didn't discontinue the 2500 room due to some defect or flaw.
@Antman , @Titanpat57 , @Xtremluck : any idea since you have them? Happy with them?
Thanks!
Mine is and has been perfect.

Hey folks

I did the ARB 2500. Here is a picture on the Front Runner Slimline II full sized roof rack.

I went with the 2000, as it seemed long enough for my needs. As a bonus, it aligned very well with my RTT.

Yes. Works for rain or sun. Fabric is waterproof. You DO need to make sure one of the outside corners is a low point for water to drain off.

I have not used my awning tent in the rain, but I assume it would work okay. I live in the 2nd driest state in the USA - it doesn't rain very often. So I would use it if I were camping and needed it, but have never had the need/opportunity.

Thanks!
I'm guessing they're just dropping the product to only keep the tent room and the delux awning room. Maybe not worth keeping two different very similar awning rooms in the lineup? Not sure. I ended up buying a delux awning room - mostly because I normally use it as a screen room for bugs moreso than a tent and I live in the desert, so more air flow was worth the extra $40. But I could probably have just bought the screen room and saved some $.

The one thing I wish they would do is put a heavy duty rubberized floor in them. The regular floor isn't really durable if you use it out where it's rocky. I use a canvas tarp under it. Just adds one more piece of stuff I gotta deal with.

Question...how well does the arb 2000 awning mount up onto the yakima megawarrior (no extension) using the fourtreks mount brackets? Should I expect any issues?

I know this is an old thread but i wanted to make sure I searched before asking or starting a new thread. Im going to be most likely going with a 2500 and was wondering if anyone has one of these mounted to a gobi stealth rack and a RTT. I'm not sure why but i feel with the RTT the awning wont fit but im sure I'm wrong. Ive searched every where for a picture but I cant seem to find one any where.

Thanks everyone

As long as the RTT only extends over one edge of the rack when opened (I don't know if you have the fold-out kind or the pop-up kind), and you put the awning on the other side, you'll have no issues. My awning brackets align right at the very edge of the rack, so you don't lose any surface area.

I had the ARB 2500 with a Smittybilt XL RTT mounted on a Gobi Stealth without issue. Just make sure your awning is on the opposite side of the RTT ladder.

I had no problem with using two mounts.

ARB awning
Awning we purchased was the 2000. Fits nicely on the 2007 4Runner.

We also purchased Fourtreks mounts to mount the awning onto the car. They were expensive, but easy to install and to adjust.
