ROAM Adventure Co Tarps, Shelters & Screen Rooms

Frequently Asked Questions

• What awning sizes does the ROAM Standard Awning Room fit and what are the exact dimensions?

  The Standard Awning Room is made in two sizes to match ROAM awnings: the 6.5' room measures roughly 6.5'W x 8'L x 6.5'H, while the 8' room measures about 7.75'W x 8'L x 6.5'H. It mounts directly to compatible 6.5' or 8' ROAM awnings, so confirm your awning length before purchasing.
• What materials and construction features make the Standard Awning Room weather-resistant and durable?

  ROAM builds the Standard Awning Room from ripstop fabrics—options include 280g ripstop polycotton or 600D PU-coated diamond ripstop nylon—with waterproof, UV- and mold-resistant treatments. The floor is a heavy-duty 720 GSM PVC/rubber for abrasion and moisture protection, and seams and laminates are reinforced for overlanding use.
• How quickly can I set up the Standard Awning Room and what tools or skills are required?

  The Standard Awning Room is designed for fast attachment and typically sets up in about five minutes when paired with a compatible ROAM awning; no special tools or advanced skills are required. Setup involves clipping or sliding the room to the awning rail and staking the floor and guy lines as needed for stability.
• How does the 6.5' Standard Awning Room compare to the 8' Standard Awning Room?

  Both versions share the same 8' length and 6.5' interior height and use the same ripstop fabric and 720 GSM floor construction, but the 8' room provides a wider footprint (about 7.75' vs 6.5' width) for extra living or gear space. Choose the 6.5' room for tighter vehicle setups or lighter pack size, and pick the 8' room when you want more sheltered floor area and coverage.
• What conditions and activities is the Standard Awning Room best suited for, and what should I consider for rough terrain or windy conditions?

  The Standard Awning Room is ideal for overlanding, car camping, and vehicle-based adventures where quick shade and rain protection are needed; its heavy-duty floor and waterproof fabric handle mud, wet grass, and prolonged use. For windy or uneven terrain, stake the floor and guy out the corners securely and consider the heavier 600D/720 GSM material combo for more abrasion resistance; it’s built for easy use by most campers without technical assembly skills.
