Premium Family Roof Tent Built for Comfortable Overland Adventures
The ALU-CAB RT-4S Family Roof Tent is designed for families and adventurers who want maximum space, premium comfort and expedition-ready durability in a compact hard-shell design. Combining ALU-CAB’s renowned build quality with practical family-focused features, the RT-4S delivers a spacious sleeping area while maintaining a slim, aerodynamic profile when closed.
With a generous open footprint of 2400mm x 2183mm and a large sleeping area measuring 2235mm x 2050mm, the RT-4S comfortably accommodates the whole family without compromising on convenience or vehicle practicality. When packed away, the tent closes down to a sleek 2400mm x 1400mm profile, helping reduce wind resistance during travel.
The fold-out section is securely supported by the heavy-duty telescopic ladder, rated to support up to 150kg, while the lightweight yet robust construction allows for additional roof-mounted accessories such as solar panels or storage boxes thanks to the dynamic roof load capability.
Inside, the RT-4S has been designed for extended overland travel and family camping comfort. Multiple windows provide excellent ventilation during warmer weather, while the integrated warm-air hose outlet allows diesel heater compatibility for colder conditions. The built-in skylight creates an open, airy feel while giving you the perfect view of the stars above.
Additional premium touches include integrated storage pockets, USB and USB-C charging ports, LED reading lights and multiple access points, making the RT-4S one of the most versatile and practical family roof tents available.
