Why Choose the ARB Altitude Rooftop Tent?

The ARB Altitude stands out with its innovative design, combining a one-touch automated setup with a premium fiberglass hardshell and a spacious interior. Unlike traditional rooftop tents, the Altitude eliminates manual effort with its electric scissor-lift system, powered by two high-quality ARB electronic actuators, ensuring setup and pack-down in just 75 seconds. Its patented SmartFold hinge technology ensures the 380GSM poly-cotton canvas folds neatly into the shell, preventing fabric jams during closure. With a lightweight aluminum frame, integrated roof rails, and a dual-color LED lighting system, this tent is built for versatility, safety, and comfort in any environment.

Key Features and Specifications

• Fully Automated Operation: Two ARB electronic actuators and a steel scissor mechanism enable one-touch opening and closing, completing the process in approximately 75 seconds. A manual failsafe system is included for reliability in case of power issues.
• Premium Materials: The tent features a natural gray gel-coated fiberglass shell for durability and a modern aesthetic, paired with a 380GSM poly-cotton canvas that is fire-retardant and weather-resistant. The lightweight aluminum frame ensures strength and compatibility with various vehicles.

• Innovative Ladder Design: Includes a staircase-style retractable aluminum ladder with fold-out side handles and large treads, rated for 225 lbs. The ladder stores securely in a dedicated compartment on the tent’s roof, reducing clutter. An optional extension kit is available for vehicles up to 6.8 ft tall or those with high-lift suspensions.
• Integrated Lighting: Dual-color (amber/white) LED lighting illuminates the tent interior, ladder, and campsite, enhancing visibility and ambiance during nighttime activities.

• Weather-Resistant Features: Drainage points in each corner of the base prevent water accumulation during heavy rainfall, while grommets block dust ingress when closed. A front wind deflector reduces wind drag and road noise during travel.
