Reviews: Smittybilt Retractable Awning - 2784

I have been considering an ARB awning for some time, but the price kept me packing my folding canopy and wrestling with that every time we wanted shade at the beach or trail head. I stopped by the Smittybilt display at the Dallas Jeep fest where they had their jeep setup with the tent, awning, generator, etc. I picked it up for the special show price, but after getting this home and installing it, I would have paid the full price for it. The materials are top notch, and this fit easily on to my Gobi roof rack. They give you about 5 options for mounting, so I fail to see how this wouldn't work on every rack out there. I put in up and down by myself in under 10 minutes, I think with another person, you could get this thing setup in 2-4 minutes and put up in 1-2 minutes. I have not had this setup in winds over 25mph yet, and likely with most awnings, would not recommend it. I think the only thing I have to nit pick about is I think I would strap it down to my roof and bolt the awning on once I am at the trail, It sticks out a little far off my jeep for my personal liking on the highway. Keep up the great work Smittybilt, and thanks 4WD as always on the great product and sales.

The awning materials are good, the stitching looks good, the extended arms and legs also looks like will last. Overall, i think this awning will be a great addition to our set up, will provide shade as good as other awning with twice the price tag. I think Smittybilt allow many of us enjoy the outdoor in style without braking the bank.

No regrets. I went with the 8 foot wide in order to cover part of my rear doors. These guys make good stuff

Great awning for the pricing. Sturdy construction and easy to set up.

Too bad we can't buy this type of awning that is made in America....Smittybilt needs to step up....

Great quality, super easy to set up. Seems to hold up well to steady winds. Great product, very happy

This Smittybilt awning is t.i.t.s! It has kept me dry, withstood hurricane winds, and is super easy to set up/take down.

Where to begin this smittybilt awning is the best bang for your buck if you want an awning for your ride. A definite recommendation for any one looking for an awning.

I just love the simplicity and quality of this awning!

For the money you cannot beat it, haven’t tried any other awnings but this thing works great. Used it 12 nights in a row on an over landing trip, it held up to rain, snow and had some seriously High-winds in the desert but you just have to tie it down and angle it and it works fine. I would absolutely recommend.

Easy to set up very sturdy, had set up all weekend fid not move even in the wind
