Arb vs smittybilt awning.

This model is designed primarily for jeeps like most of smittybilt s products although if you have the right set of racks it will fit any vehicle easily. You may need to purchase your own hardware on some set ups. The smittybilt awning is designed to be mounted in several differ ways depending on the type of equipment your vehicle has. After washing and rinsing both awnings the arb was quite wet where water had penetrated the stitching.

The arb uses plastic while the smittybilt is metal. So far there has been no difference in durability but i d certainly trust the metal to be stronger especially in cold temperatures. Also of note is the seams on the covers. It comes with no surprise that smittybilt were going to come up with an rtt since smittybilt has long been involved in the world of car racks and accessories.
