wondering if anyone here has any up close and personal use or views of this economical awning?
looks like it would fit onto go-westy awning brackets fairly easily.
$235 shipped is a nice base price.

I have one on another vehicle and its a knock off of the ARB awning, just doesnt say arb. Light, easy to set up. The verticle poles are a little flimsy and the "twist to set" tent pole feature is a little tricky at times ( doesnt want to hold tight to support). Doesnt flop or make noise at speeds up to 65 and deploys, repacks quickly. Would I buy another one, yes. I had bought another one and installed it on a 13' fiberglass trailer and it had the same pros and cons of the first one I purchased. Dont expect to leave it out in a windstorm or heavy rain. Great for dry, sun, hot windless environments.

Looks like an ARB to me too. I've seen the same awning branded a few different ways.

For what it's worth, that's about what I paid for my ARB.

Any difference in quality?
