    I have a SB that came with my trailer. I've only used it a couple of times but I like it.

    Where will you be mounting it? I got the cvt 79in awning and it didnt give me the coverage I wanted so I purchased the batwing awning and super happy with it.

    I got my rhino rack batwing for 360 on black Friday. Best deal ever lol but I'd look into the new batwing rather than foxwing. They are both the same but the new batwing awning has the legs built in. So after you open it up you just pull the legs down. Super easy

    I've had two ARB 2000x2500 awnings, quality is spot on. Simple to deploy and simple to put back away, I also have the room that attaches to it which makes for a neat setup. I attached a photo of it mounted on my Tacoma
