Wondering what options you have to further embellish your Tentbox awning? Maybe you're looking for a way to provide more privacy or protection from the weather?
Well look no further than the ARB Deluxe Awning room. In this video, I'll show you how to attach it within 5 minutes to your Tentbox Awning.
I've had to change my discount code, so the code in the video is no longer valid. Tentbox have also removed all ambassador links, so the link below goes through to our Choc Chip website.

Thanks Chris , as always informative nay nonsense get to the point help. and thank you for being precise..........

Back door zips down instead of up so you can access the vehicle without letting wind from under the vehicle enter the tent. That way you only unzip as much or as little access as you need. Cheers!

Great video.. really needed to watch this. I have the awning and tentbox lite on a honda crv so it's an SUV but it's no where near 2m high and I'm 6ft2.. the reason why I haven't brought this yet is the sag towards the car I might get.. is their a way to peg it out so it doesn't sag if the vehicle isn't that high? Thanks

Thanks for the watch and the comment. My dad has a CRV so i know the vehicle. Hmm, possibly it might. I’m only saying that as I assume your tent will sit lower than mine, however i’m happy to measure my awning to see how high it sits off the ground (so you can compare) if you’d like me to? MY room sags a little at the bottom where the side panels meet the tarp flooring, but not much. It does work fine. I tried stretching the pegs like you’ve suggested and while it helps a little, it sort of pulls the middle of each side out of place depending on how much you stretch it out. It’s not a major issue and still works okay though. I think realistically these rooms were designed for higher overland vehicles (Defenders, for example) but I will say it’s more likely to work for your CRV than a normal car as they will definitely be too low 👍🏻

Hi Chris, have you found any storm straps that can be used with the tent box awning room, with or without the ARB room added please? Thinking Fiamma c channel ones might work but wondered if you've tried or found any? Thanks Brian

Does ARB room fit frontrunner awning?!?

What's the differences between the one ten box supply and the ARB one Chris? Price features ease of set up?
@ChocChipTravels 4 ай бұрын
For the most part they're very similar mate. Attach in exactly the same way, similar materials. There's a slight difference with the storage pockets inside and the big difference is that the outer doors fully unzip on the tentbox room allowing you to "wing" the doors to give you more shade. You'd need extra telescopic poles to do this (which Tentbox sell) but that's the main diffierence... and the colour... everything else is near identical. If you look on the Tentbox website at the side awning room and look at the photos you'll see what I mean about the wing doors. tentbox.com/products/side-awning-room Hope that helps

Hi mate I was just wondering if you can leave the ARB front strip in the C-section in the awning permanently? Thanks
@ChocChipTravels 2 ай бұрын
Do you mean the top bit that you essentially zip the front of the room to?
@deanstanley8350 2 ай бұрын
that goes in the aluminium front channel that you zipped off separately

Do you know if the ARB room without floor will also fit - looks like it does because my tent box awning looks identical to the arb awning
@ChocChipTravels Жыл бұрын
So while I couldn’t say 100%, i know the tentbox and arb awnings are identical, so i would guess yes it would fit. As long as it’s 2.5m x 2m
@jeffisaac5958 Жыл бұрын
@@ChocChipTravels Thanks for that. They looked the same but good to have that confirmed as I could only compare mine with a video of the ARRB awning. I am concerned that the room with a floor might not stand up to a couple of German Shepherds
