ARC 270 Awning

No Instructions or guide for 270 degree awning

I got the 270 degree awning and it didn’t come with any instructions. Their guide on the awnings page is generic and doesn’t cover the 270. There are no operating instructions as well. Basic stuff but when you spend that much money on a product you expect more. Also I was told/read somewhere that ROAM products are made to work with Trailrax roof rack but if you use the Trailrax brackets the bolts don’t fit and you have to drill the holes out. That isn’t ROAMs problem but I found it a little disheartening. The huge awning only comes with 2 brackets which I definitely feel is under designed for how long and heavy this thing is. I used three brackets from Trailrax because they specifically make a bracket for the rear corner of 270degree awnings. It seems well made and I’m sure all will be fine but technically I still don’t know how you are supposed to secure the rear corner to the vehicle, it doesn’t seem to have a strap or anything for that that is shown in the graphics. Sure some of this may be obvious for some of the more experienced overlanders but definitely doesn’t help the first time buyer feel confident in operating the equipment.

Have enjoyed the easy setup and rain/wind durability. Pairs well with the sides.

Arc 270...Perfect!

Just finished installing the Arc 170 on my Taxa Woolly Bear Overland. Used some brackets from Overland Vehicle Systems to fine tune things, but fits perfectly and looks great! Especially with the four (4) Roam cases I purchased earlier. Terrific products and super strong text support for the few questions I had.
