Alu-Cab Gen 3R Expedition RoofTop Tent
$6,950.00
When rooftop tents first hit the market, they were revolutionary, mostly because your tent and mattress (the two things that take up the most packing space) were now conveniently stored on your roof. For these reasons, our Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design. What’s more, hard-shell tents typically last longer than their soft-shell equivalents, they’re also easier to clean, and far more resilient to rain, snow and windy weather conditions. But most of all, from an overland-travel perspective (where you’re moving from one camp to the next), you just can’t beat the convenience of a popup rooftop tent, which is why our ever-popular Expedition Tent is now in its 3rd Generation design.

Over the years, we’ve been adding continuous improvements to our Expedition Tent, opting for a wider, more spacious layout, as well as a streamlined design that’s both aesthetically pleasing, and far more aerodynamic. While developing the Expedition 3.1 tent, we kept comfort, convenience, functionality in our minds. For comfort, we have a 75mm high density foam mattress, with reading lights, usb charging ports, and proper insulation for world travellers. On the roof we have closed cell foam lining that offers year-round insulation and, on the roof, we added storage pockets, where you can keep your keys, books and even shoes. For functionality, we recognized that the users would be traveling, and we made it so they can put solar panels, camp tables, mountain bikes, and other gear on top of the tent.
The tent can support up to 110 pounds open, so you don’t have to drop all your gear after a long day! And finally, we thought about the convenience of the tent, and how to make your life easier. We added a rear awning cover to keep the snow and rain off the rear door entrance. With two locking latches and within seconds you can have camp set-up. With the convenience of leaving your pillows, sleeping bag, and some gear inside, you can be setup and ready for the night in seconds.

Pop up Rooftop tents
When rooftop tents first hit the market they were revolutionary, mostly because your tent and mattress (the two things that take up the most packing space) were now conveniently stored on your car roof. Of course, there are many more benefits to owning a rooftop tent, but likewise, there are plenty of cons, too.
Fortunately, most of these drawbacks are associated with soft-shell rooftop tents, as well as heavy canvas units that are difficult to flip open. For these reasons, our Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design. The benefits of our rooftop tent 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…
