Primary Function
Weather protection and ventilation at tent entrance
Upgrade Your ARB Altitude Roof Tent with Enhanced Weather Protection
The ARB Altitude Side Awning Kit is a dedicated accessory engineered for owners of the ARB Altitude roof tent who demand greater comfort and protection in unpredictable outdoor conditions. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Altitude tent platform, this kit delivers practical coverage at the tent entrance, making it easier to access your tent, change footwear, or organise gear—no matter the weather.
How the ARB Altitude Side Awning Kit Improves Your Camping Experience
Adverse weather can quickly turn a simple tent entry into a challenge. The ARB Altitude Side Awning Kit creates a sheltered zone alongside your tent ladder, shielding you from rain as you climb in or out. It also enables you to keep tent windows open for airflow, even during heavy rain, helping to reduce condensation and maintain comfort inside the tent. This is especially valuable for extended expeditions or remote touring, where keeping gear dry and living spaces ventilated is critical.
Where This Side Awning Kit Is Most Useful
This kit is ideal for:
Expedition travellers and overlanders who camp in varied climates
Touring families seeking extra convenience and weather protection
Outdoor enthusiasts who value quick setup and compact storage
Anyone using the ARB Altitude roof tent in wet, windy, or changeable conditions
Unlike generic awning solutions, this kit is tailored to the ARB Altitude tent, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance. If you regularly camp in exposed environments or need to keep your tent entrance dry and accessible, this accessory offers a clear advantage.
