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?

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?

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.

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.
