Alu-Cab Gen 3 Expedition Roof Tent
Installing the Gen 3 Expedition Roof Tent
A look inside the Alu-Cab Gen 3 roof tent
Our new addition to the Landrover Defender fitted by Tuff-Trek.
​
Upgraded from the Tufftrek TT02 soft top roof tent for multi day travel.
​
I love the ease of setting up, just un-clip the 2 latches and up it goes.
​
Great for a quick overnight stop or for setting up in the bad weather.
​
The mattress is really comfy and the bedding can remain in the tent, when packing up, including pillows, making set up so much easier.

LOAD RATING FOR CARGO RAILS:
The load rating for the cargo rails on the tent roof is 50kg.
​
It is important to note that where the load is located on the roof, will determine how easy or difficult it is to open the tent.
​
It is always suggested to shift heavier loads towards the front of the tent, and much lighter loads, like a solar panel, to the rear.
Vent the tent after a campout as moisture can build up and cause mould.
With the Alu-Cab Gen 3 roof tent this is a really easy process as it is a super quick erect and only seconds to put pack away.
