    If tube thickness is your deciding factor, then yes. Build quality (welding, paint/coating, screw holes, thread tapping etc) and mounting hardware may not compare so well to an ARB product. As you say though, at more than half the price, I'm happy to work with it Aside from the unique tube thickness and requirement for bespoke brackets, I'm very happy with my ebay rack - which incidentally, is made here in Australia afaik.

    Ill contact OCAM Industries today and let them know. Surely I can't be the first to want to fit an ARB awning to a bracket.
