ALTITUDE ELECTRIC ROOF TOP TENT
ARB has seen vehicle-based camping come a long way from traditional canvas tarps & lean to setups to some contemporary designs. Despite this evolution, most rooftop solutions today still face shortcomings in accessibility and cumbersome, manual set-ups and pack-downs, especially in having to climb up to tuck in canvas. Recognizing this need for a more premium camping experience before needing to tow something, ARB has drawn on almost 50 years of engineering knowledge, manufacturing experience, and thousands of kilometers of offroad testing to deliver a solution. The ARB Altitude enables off-grid living with convenience, comfort, and safety by improving access and automating set up & pack down.
