• This upgrade now boasts a weight decrease to 76kgs

 

Alu-Cab's GEN 3-R Expedition Tent features a modern, purposeful design, complete with a heater port, solar panel input, and more. Its roof-mounted design has revolutionized the camping industry, freeing up luggage/cargo space and providing a variety of benefits. Hard-shell rooftop tents, like this Expedition Tent, have numerous advantages. These include a lightweight, easy-to-use construction, sturdiness in inclement weather, and more.

 

• A gas-strut assisted design that takes seconds to open and close
• A three-point entry / exit layout so you don’t have to plan your campsite around your tent
• A more aerodynamic shape
• You can close the tent with your bedding inside, and lastly…
• Our Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design.

 

The construction of hard-shell tents offer longer lifespan, easier cleaning and stronger protection from rain, snow and wind compared to soft-shell options. Alu-Cab's GEN 3-R Expedition Tent blends convenience, aerodynamics and aesthetics together, making it an ideal choice for overland travel. With years of continuous improvement, this hard-shell tent accommodates a wider, more spacious layout, along with critical features such as strength, weight and durability.

 

1) Comfort and convenience

Buying a rooftop tent is no different to buying a household bed, where comfort is critical; which is why they have specked their Expedition Tent with a generous 75 mm high-density foam mattress. They have also included a reading light, USB charging ports (for your mobile phone), a 12V power socket, and a series of storage pockets where you can keep your keys, books and even your shoes.

2) Functionality

Thanks to the Expedition Tent’s robust aluminium housing, you have the option of fitting our Alu-Cab load bars. This means you can still pack large bulky items on top of your tent. Whether it be a solar panel, camping table, kayak, mountain bike, or our very own Rack Tray, the Gen 3-R Expedition Tent doesn’t prevent you from packing gear on your roof like other rooftop tents do.

3) Insulation

Recognizing that their tents are used by extreme adventure travelers across the globe, They wanted to build a tent that offered the best possible insulation against blazing African heat, as well as sub-zero temperatures found in Europe and North America. That said, the Gen 3-R roof structure and base are generously insulated with a closed-cell foam lining that offers excellent comfort and insulation all year round. They have also included an awning cover over the tent’s rear door, which helps to keep rain, snow and frost off the rear opening.
