The Kings awning is what it is - cheaper alternative to another $200+ for alternative ARB. We've had for about 2yrs (replaced a previous one by 4wd supacentre). I did read an interesting review after doing research as our kings awning has shown its lack of quality, particularly in the Velcro (same with the side wall) and the flimsy poles which are bent. The review basically stated you get what you pay for - but the upmarket versions by ARB and so on break down after time in the outdoors too. So if youre spending $150 on something you get 2yrs from as opposed to $400 you get 5yrs from... economically theyre on par or better. Then its more of a waste issue and how often youre actually using it. We bought a Kings RTT which we have mounted on a frame above our Hilux tub. I actually consider this not too bad. You can see why they are cheaper given the metal they use in the base and ladder etc. But the canvas itself, size and windows are really good. The mattress is a little thin and theres 2 adults and a toddler in there. We are novice campers and our plan is to get a caravan down the track. The kings equipment we have bought has given us a taste for camping and given us shade on a beach and generally being outdoors more, and if that's all its been good for, then its been worth it every cent.
