  • Alright guys,
    We are preparing for some trips out west this year and there wont be many trees for me to hide our toilet behind so Kim bought me a poop room!
    In all seriousness since we sleep IN our jeep at night we finally decided that we needed a way to keep all of our supplies dry while we were sleeping besides putting everything under the Jeep and for the price this seemed like a perfect fit.
    We made this look WAAAAY more complicated than it actually is but now you don't have to read the instructions because we made all of the mistakes for you!
    Let us know what your running in the comments of if this set up looks perfect for you!

    I really appreciate this video!!! I started doing this and had no idea without instructions and as one person..I got frustrated. I feel like you told me more with video with the learning curve. Thank you!

    Thanks to your real life video I was able to install and setup my Ironman 6.5x8 awning and room! I couldn't have done this without y'all! And I did remember to check which side to connect to my Hiker trailer! Thanks so much! Just wish I knew a way to use the LED lights when the awning room is set up. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

    "Awning" was nice 😉🤣🤣 Seriously though, looks like a nice set up. Will definitely give you privacy and a place to sit out of the weather! 👍

    Torn between this and ARB setup. Almost the same, except ARB has more screen area. I guess it’ll come down to what ever is in stock.

    Just rewatched this video because we purchased a tear drop trailer for our jeep to pull and I remember y'all bought this awning and room. Thinking about getting this particular awning. How has it faired in your travels? Do you recommend pooping in it? Etc 😅. Thanks always for the great content

    • @DownSouth_Adventures

    It was fun watchng you guys set everything up. I have the 6.5ft x 8ft Ironman awning on my Ranger. Got the awning/awning room combo but have yet to use the room. Regardless, the awning and light bar are awesome.

    Hey, enjoyed the straight scoop of figuring it out as you go. That is so real world. I'm wondering if you could pack the room away with the floor still attached, so you wouldn't have to re-install it every time.

    the Led light strip can be used on both sides. from what I was told. the front has a lip that should be able to hold it while using the annex.

    Could you leave the floor attached when packing it up? Would it still fit inside the bag?

    • @DownSouth_Adventures
      @DownSouth_Adventures  Před 9 měsíci +2

      That's a great question!! So, we did actually keep the floor attached for when we use it, however the bag did become a bit of a pain. Think squeezing a sleeping bag back into its bag but times 100 bigger! LOL We have since moved to a standard sized tote to store it in and carry on the back of the Jeep in the RucRak

    In the future let it lay down off the top and hook up all your poles then stand it up. Thats how you do pop up camper awnings.

    Tip for next time. Set it up first, then do a video on how to set it up, once you figure it out.
