Now you can have your bed already made and with the simple clamshell style design, your accommodations can be flipped open and ready for sleeping in minutes.

Easily stowed on your roof rack, the ARB Simpson II provides a hint of luxury no matter how remote your location. Furnished with a two and half inch high-density foam mattress with removable cover, this tent offers paramount camping comfort. Spread out on a larger than queen-sized bed and, at just under eight feet in length, this tent provides plenty of space to sleep two people and store their gear. With an open height a little over four feet, the tent’s vaulted ceiling ensures ample headroom.

 Manufactured from high quality poly-cotton, the Simpson II is waterproof, yet breathable and resistant to mold. An aluminum framed and clad base reduces weight and insulates against cold weather. A raised fly-sheet helps keep the tent cooler in the sun and reduces condensation in the cold making it ideal lodgings in any weather. Supported awnings permit the windows to be opened during rain and screens on the doors and windows will keep the insects at bay.

The tent is accessed by a short climb on the, retractable, aluminum ladder. Designed with no sharp edges, the ladder rungs are made for use with bare feet.
An enhanced mounting system means no need to drill in to your roof rack or bars so, the tent can be installed and easily removed when not in use. The tent folds down to packed height of twelve inches to minimize wind resistance.

A large variety of accessories including awnings and annexes for additional enclosed outdoor spaces are also available to complement your tent and enhance your camping experience.

Sold complete with ladder, mounting hardware, tools and comprehensive instructions, the ARB Simpson II Rooftop Tent will have a suggested retail price of $1,540.00.
The ARB Simpson II Rooftop Tent will be available from over 1400 ARB distributors nationwide.
