Alu-Cab Gen 3-R Expedition Rooftop Tent
Alu-Cab Gen 3-R Expedition Rooftop Tent
These tents are the best in the market. We love them.
Alu-Cab has added unique features to improve your camping experience. The Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design. The benefits of this setup include…
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… the Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design.
Three critical features have always been important to Alu-Cab while developing the hard-shell tent:
1) Comfort and convenience. Alu-Cab specced the Expedition Tent with a generous 75 mm high-density foam mattress. 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 the Alu-Cab Rack Tray.
3) Insulation. The Gen 3.1 roof structure and base are generously insulated with a closed-cell foam lining that offers excellent comfort and insulation all year round. Also included an awning cover over the tent’s rear door, which helps to keep rain, snow and frost off the rear opening.
Pricing starts at $4399.

LOAD RATING FOR CARGO RAILS:
The load rating for the cargo rails on the tent roof is 50kg. It is important to note that where the load is located on the roof, will determine how easy or difficult it is to open the tent.
It is always suggested to shift heavier loads towards the front of the tent, and much lighter loads, like a solar panel, to the rear.
