When packed, the new ARB Flinders Rooftop Tent has a lower profile by 100mm in comparison to ARB’s current and ever-popular ARB Simpson Rooftop Tent. A lower packed height means improved aerodynamics for less wind drag, and increased clearance for better access to low roof areas and tracks with low tree canopies. The removable ladder means you can choose to either keep the ladder on the roof or stow it away elsewhere when touring or during the day-to-day. Without the ladder affixed, the overall height of the tent when packed is just 200mm. The ladder adds an additional 100mm. The compact nature of the tent when packed up is suitable for leaving in normal sleeping bags and pillows.

Despite the space saving when the ARB Flinders Rooftop Tent is packed down, when it’s time to open up you will enjoy a larger overall internal space over the Simpson Rooftop Tent. Set-up is a breeze; after unzipping the cover and leveraging open the tent with the ladder, all the internal poles sequentially fan out into place. Then, simply slide the extendable poles into their final position, just like the ARB Awning. The curved roof poles provide improved head height and also the removal of flat surfaces that can occur with the use of straight poles.
