Alu-Cab LT-50 Lightweight Rooftop Tent

Ultra-Lightweight Hard-Shell Rooftop Tent

The Alu-Cab LT-50 Lightweight Rooftop Tent combines an ultra-low weight with the durability and convenience of a hard-shell rooftop tent.

Weighing just 46kg excluding the mattress and ladder, the LT-50 opens up rooftop tent camping to a wider range of vehicles where weight and payload are important considerations.

Its slim, aerodynamic profile helps minimise wind resistance while travelling, while the single-sided pop-up design allows the tent to open in seconds. There's also enough room to leave your bedding inside when the tent is packed away, making setup and pack-down incredibly quick.

The hard shell can carry up to 30kg of additional gear, making the LT-50 a practical choice for overlanding, touring and weekend adventures.
