THE NEXT LEVEL OF LUXURY TOURING

Introducing the Altitude, ARB’s next level of luxury touring in a rooftop tent. Drawing on almost 50 years of engineering knowledge, manufacturing experience and thousands of kilometres of rigorous testing; The ARB Altitude Tent enables off grid living with convenience, comfort and safety by automating set up & pack down.

CAMPING REIMAGINED

The Altitude draws its name from its position our range of tents – right at the very top!

Conceptualised years ago, the idea was to have a tent that would set itself up, and pack itself down at the touch of a button. No fuss, no interaction, and premium in finish; it’s all about the finer details with the Altitude.

Although simple in ideology, bringing this to reality would be a tough task for the ARB specialised Engineering Team.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • TOTAL AUTOMATION

    One-touch operation – that’s the goal, and that’s what ARB have achieved with the Altitude.

    With a simple push of a button, the Altitude tent utilises a completely automated electronic opening and closing sequence to have you ready in less than a minute. This process removes any manual interaction with the tent to ensure a convenient and hassle-free setup – giving you more time to focus on the better parts of camping. Of course, a manual failsafe option has been included for worst case scenarios.

    • Completely automated operation powered by 2x quality ARB electronic actuators on each side
    • Raising and lowering is made possible through the engineered steel scissor mechanism
    • Simple push button operation – with a single touch to start, the tent opens and closes all on its own
    • Actuator & tent control unit internalised for long term durability and protection from the elements
    • Lighting and tent controls easily & externally accessible from both sides
  • ARB SMARTFOLD™ HINGE TECHNOLOGY

    Designing a tent that packs itself up is a dream concept, brought to reality by ARB’s specialised Engineering Team.

    The Altitude’s ARB SmartFold™ hinge technology design is what makes the tent truly hands-free. The clever two-piece hinge fully enfolds the Altitude tent’s fabric within the sleeping area during closing operation.
