Best feature I've added to my 84 Westy!  I love my ARB.

I paid $290 for my ARB 814101 last April 2019, on EBay, including shipping!  Sold by wundercarparts.  But I think the COVID Camping Demand has driven up the prices, as the best price I'm seeing now is nearly $100 more.
Here's a photo of it installed.

I used the Northwesty brackets, no drilling!!!

Our friends have the Fiamma, and frankly, it only takes me a minute longer to deploy my ARB!

Have you compared the SB to the EZY awning sold by Bus Depot?  I too am
looking for next year and don't want to spend the big Fiamma bucks either
or put up a second tent.
