Ironman 4x4 Accessories is now the Australian distributor for Alu-Cab, and the Generation 3 Expedition Tent is one of the brand’s signature products.

This hard-shell rooftop tent features lightweight aluminium construction and a streamlined aerodynamic profile. The wind-resistant gas strut pop-up design means you can literally set up (or pack away) camp in seconds, while the tent’s dual-layer canvas provides protective insulation.

Additional features include triple point window/door access with rear door awning, quick release ladder that stows away inside tent when closed, 75mm high-density foam mattress with zip-off cover, integrated cargo rails for optional load bars, and internal storage pockets, USB ports, 12V power outlet and lighting.

The tent weighs 88kg and measures 2300 x 1400 x 280mm when closed, yet it offers a generous interior height of 1600mm when open.

RRP: $5600
