ARB has seen vehicle based camping come a long way from traditional canvas tarps & lean to setups to some of the contemporary designs offered today. Despite this evolution, most rooftop solutions today still face shortcoming's in accessibility and cumbersome, manual set-up and pack down's, especilally in having to climb up to tuck in canvas. Recognising this need for a more premium camping experience before needing to tow something, ARB has drawn on almost 50 years of engineering knowledge, manufacturing experience and thousands of kilometers of offroad testing to deliver a solution. The ARB Altitude enables off grid living with convenience, comfort and safety by improving access and automating set up & pack down.
