The ARB Altitude Rooftop Tent stands as the flagship in ARB’s camping range, engineered for expedition vehicles and touring builds where comfort, speed, and reliability matter. This electric hard-shell rooftop tent is designed for those who demand rapid setup, premium sleeping conditions, and robust protection for long-distance travel or remote overlanding.
Unlike traditional rooftop tents, the ARB Altitude features a fully automated electric opening and closing system. With a simple press of a button, the tent deploys or packs away in under a minute, eliminating manual poles, folding, or canvas management. ARB’s SmartFold™ hinge technology ensures the canvas folds perfectly into the shell every time, so there’s no need to tuck in fabric or worry about misalignment on closing. This system is particularly valuable when setting up camp in poor weather or after a long day of travel.
This tent is purpose-built for off-road touring vehicles, expedition 4x4s, pickup trucks, and SUVs used for vehicle-based camping. It is ideal for:
Mounting is compatible with standard roof rack systems or crossbars rated for rooftop loads, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles prepared for adventure travel.
The Altitude uses a rigid fibreglass hard-shell with a gel-coat finish, reinforced by an internal aluminium frame and weather-resistant touring fabric. This construction not only shields the tent from the elements during travel but also improves aerodynamics, reducing drag and wind noise at highway speeds. The robust shell and premium materials ensure the tent stands up to demanding expedition use.
The ARB Altitude Rooftop Tent is designed for straightforward installation on most roof racks or crossbars rated for rooftop tent loads. The tent’s electrical system connects to the vehicle’s battery, powering internal lighting, a roof ventilation fan, and USB charging points. The system automatically powers down when the tent is closed, protecting your vehicle’s battery. The ladder is engineered for safety, with wide steps, a handrail, and internal storage when not in use.
Compatible accessories, such as the Altitude Roof Cross Bar Kit, Side Awning Kit, and ladder extensions, allow you to expand your campsite setup and integrate the tent into larger expedition systems.
Traditional rooftop tents can be time-consuming and awkward to set up, especially in poor weather or after long drives. The ARB Altitude’s electric system solves this by automating deployment and pack-down, keeping bedding and sleeping areas protected and ready. Its hard-shell design prevents weather ingress and damage during travel, while the integrated electrical system and premium mattress ensure a comfortable, well-lit, and ventilated sleeping environment—no matter where your journey takes you.
