Roo Systems awning

[Winnie]

Hi all, looking for some advice on the Roo Systems awning. It's a killer price (just shy of $200) but unsure of the quality. Same price as the Tigerz one and if it's the same awning I don't want it. But I've seen the Roo rooftop tent and it is awesome.
So does anybody have the Roo awning and could recommend it?

[gaddy]

I was going to buy a roo systems one , but was put off buy the quality , ended up getting a iron man for $260 or $270 for 2m x 2.5m the local 4x4 shop was open to negotiate

Have you actually seen a Roo one? What makes you say the quality was no good? What do you think of the Ironman one?

[gaddy]

To me the material on the roo systems was a lot thinner , the ironman one is quite thick , and the shop I brought it of also sold the roo systems and had some issues with the poles , could be owners not pegging them down though , like all things if you look after it and the price is right go for it

I have TJM 2.5 job was $250 which I think is cheap. has poles everywhere to keep it taught.
Never heard of ROO awning.
@ winnie go with a brand name IMO.

Winnie for got to add so far very happy with it nice and tight , we use it on the beaches so always a good breeze around , but we have only had it since Xmas , time will tell

Everything Roo systems sells fails after time. I have spent about 400 on there stuff.

roo systems is part owned by 4wd action as well as their stake in tigers11. chances are high that they are the same product re badged. Havnt tried any of them myself, but food for thought

WOW those mofos have a hand in heaps of different things.

Try supercheap, their ridge rider branded one is pretty good value and the material is thicker than most. I am happy with mine but if I had the cash I would buy a Hannibal awning, they are awesome and have NO poles very strong but pricey.

[Winnie]

The supercheap one is $300 though? Can buy Ironman/TJM for that money. Think I'll avoid the Roo one and see what deal I can get on brand names.

Chris, I've got the Rhino Sunseeker 2 side awning and its great. Top quality, easy spares (not needed yet), good price about $300.
Go with trusted products that have been around more than 5 minutes IMO.....


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[gaddy]

Just realised I put the wrong price in it was either $250 or $260

Gee I got mine on sale for about $126 I think, I know it was really cheap when they had the 50% of sale.

I was going to buy a roo systems one , but was put off buy the quality , ended up getting a iron man for $170 for 2m x 2.5m the local 4x4 shop was open to negotiate

Gaddy

Thats a good buy. Do you mind if I ask which shop you got it from?

[gaddy]

I got that bit wrong if you read a bit further on I corrected myself it was either $250 or $ 260 sorry about that

Haha ... funny man!!

Yep, we will be doing them, they are similar to the Ironman ones, but RRP for the 2.0m foldout by 2.5m long will be $199 or thereabouts ... not much room to play on margin when it comes to that end of the pricing scale, but again, should be able to organise something a wee bit better for the forum (still a good price though compared to others ... I hope!! lol).

Mine cost under $50. Tarp, some alloy box section from bunnings, few tekscrews, bit of rope and some poles I had lying abound, works a treat.

[Winnie]

Just went and bought the new Ironman awning it comes with an LED strip light in it already wired up. Retail $295 I talked them down to $270, just gotta put it on now

[Steve4wdin]

Wheres the photoe?

[Winnie]

Haven't got it on yet, mine did not come with L brackets like it says it does so gotta get them tomorrow, don't think I'll use them anyway.

mine was a tad dearer but works a treat

[mrhr33]

Want to try one also, gotta be alright for the $$$

[Cbates]

I got one and it's great! Think they upgraded some of the plastic bits too so a bit stronger but haven't had a problem yet

[Winnie]

No.
