ARB 814301 · COMPACT VEHICLE AWNING
ARB 4 ft Soft Case Awning (1.25 m)
Compact shade without the footprint of a full-size awning.
The ARB 4 ft Soft Case Awning is built for drivers who want quick side-of-vehicle shelter in a smaller package. At 1.25 m wide and extending 2.1 m from the vehicle, it works especially well on compact SUVs, smaller rack systems, tailgate setups and builds where a 2.0 m or 2.5 m awning is simply more than you need.
It combines ARB's proven poly/cotton ripstop canvas, telescopic legs and soft storage case into a simple touring awning that is easy to carry, easy to deploy and easy to live with.
SMALL AWNING. USEFUL COVERAGE.
Built for Compact Touring Setups
A full-width awning is not always the right answer. The 814301 gives you usable shelter alongside the vehicle while taking up less rack space and creating a smaller packed footprint.
That makes it a strong fit for compact vehicles, rear-quarter mounting, smaller roof racks, tailgate cooking setups and customers who simply want fast shade without moving into a larger awning system.
Why the ARB 4 ft Awning Works
Compact 1.25 m Width
Adds practical shade while using less rack space than ARB's larger awnings.
2.1 m Extension
Extends nearly seven feet from the vehicle to create useful standing, cooking or gear-organizing space.
Weather-Ready Canvas
300 GSM poly/cotton ripstop canvas with PU coating provides waterproof shelter and UPF 50+ sun protection.
Telescopic Support Legs
Anodized height-adjustable legs make levelling and setup straightforward across different campsite conditions.
Soft-Case Storage
The awning packs into a UV-stable laminated PVC bag for travel and storage between campsites.
Complete Camp Setup
Guy ropes, pegs and stainless mounting hardware are included with the awning.

The awning is intended to mount to a suitable roof rack, platform, crossbar or compatible awning bracket system. Confirm bracket spacing and rack compatibility before installation.
Who is the 4 ft awning best for?
It is especially useful for compact vehicles, smaller roof-rack systems, tailgate or cooking stations, and customers who want simple shade without the size of a full-width awning.
THE CAP-IT TAKE
A Niche Awning That Makes a Lot of Sense
The 814301 is not trying to replace a full-size 2.0 m or 2.5 m awning. Its advantage is exactly the opposite: it gives you useful shade in a compact format that is easier to package on smaller vehicles and tighter rack setups.
If your priority is lightweight, simple side-of-vehicle shelter rather than maximum coverage, this is the ARB awning to look at.
WHY BUY YOUR AWNING FROM CAP-IT?
Adventure & Vehicle Specialists Since 1977
An awning only works properly when it matches the vehicle, rack and mounting hardware. Cap-it can help confirm the right bracket and mounting setup before installation.
