Best investment so far I love it
Wow looks amazing just got done with the install, can’t wait to use it over landing .. Everyone was impressed thank for the great customer service & product.
I was so impressed with how fast the awning was to install and then set up! Great product!
I love the material quality And how easy its to deploy. When Installing it i would recommend a 2 person job to makes things easy. Can't wait to take it on my overland adventures.
Received my awning two weeks before a week long camping trip with family. My bronco doesn't have cross bars that worked with the provided mounting kit and I planned poorly ordering ahead of time. Openroad sent me a mounting kit that wouldn't arrive in time for my trip, so they offered to reimburse me for what I found in the meantime that would work. I found a mounting bracket on Amazon that worked perfectly and arrived just days before my trip. I was able to install and test out before my trip. I love the awning and the set up and break down is so easy. And it's solid. It was the talk of the family camping trip. I'm not even interested in getting reimbursed by openroad, but the fact they were willing to so I didn't have to miss out on using this on my camping trip was top tier customer service. I'm already making a list of other openroad products I'm gonna need for my next camping trip.
A great awning! Quality of the built is great. Customer service was terrific
Can’t wait to use it on a trip.
Great costumer service. Good quality, very happy with my 270 awning.
Everything went smoothly on install and works nicely. I use it for work and play
Working to fit a bug net onto it. Only issue was not having t slots that with my roof racks
The trail series awning was back ordered 1 month behind. Openroad reach out and told me they will upgrade my awning to the black series and ship out ASAP. Love the customer care and update info! Will definitely buy more products from openroad!
It’s awesome
Easy At the beach
I actually had a bracket custom made so I can easily take the awning off and on easily. I love this awning but didn’t want it permanently mounted.
This is a well made product. Easy to set up and put away. I ended up upgrading to the Camping-Adventure series. It’s a great add to your vehicle.
Great product!!
I was set up in seconds, not minutes. When it was time to go, it stored quickly, almost as fast as setup. (It was 34 degrees outside so my fingers were working slowly.) It was solid enough so I didn't need to drop down the legs in the light breeze.
Wasn't as heavy as anticipated which was a welcomed surprise. Quality is nice and holds up well during storms. The LED's are very helpful for camp lighting. Love it!
So easy to set up and take down. Keeps us out of the rain or sun while were traveling, and I actually use it cause its so simple. Great product for the price
Works great. Easy to use.
We are looking forward to putting it to use.
It works really well thanks.
This awning is fantastic!! The quality of this awning far exceeds my initial expectations for the price point. It sets up so easily, it's way more sturdy than I expected, and it looks fantastic on my trailer. It is much nicer than the little square ARB awning that my Buddy purchased for more than I spent on this one. Thank you for making a product like this at an affordable price without compromising usability.
I've only mounted to my roof rack so far. I have deployed it a few times and it looks awesome! Although having an issue with one of the hinges not closing all the way
Used it just to open to see if I lined up right and cover already has a 1/2” tear in it. Not very good quality on the cover for what you pay for the product. Guess I will repair it with some tape hoping it doesn’t effect to inners of the product.
I loved this awning just as they describe it in their posts, it fits really well, it's of excellent quality. I would buy many more accessories from them and I hope to see more in the future, thanks.
The awning is fantastic - setup is a breeze, quality materials, and easy install. It kept us dry in heavy rain, and shaded in heavy sun!
