Smittybilt Aluminum Pop-Up Rooftop Tent


Description

The Smittybilt Aluminum Pop-Up Rooftop Tent (RTT) is built for overlanders and off-road adventurers who refuse to compromise on shelter quality. Featuring a low-profile, aerodynamic black aluminum hard shell, this tent is designed to cut through wind drag on the trail and on the highway. Gas-assisted struts make setup and takedown fast and effortless - no fumbling with poles or complicated hardware required.

Inside, a 2.5" thick high-density foam mattress comfortably sleeps 2-3 people, while a built-in LED light strip with inline remote keeps the interior well-lit after dark. With a 661lb load capacity, universal vehicle fitment, and a 5-year warranty, this rooftop tent is a serious long-term investment for any overland build.

  • LED Light Strip with Inline Remote: Built-in lighting for convenient hands-free control inside the tent.

Manuals & Guides


FAQ

Will this rooftop tent fit my vehicle?

Yes - the Smittybilt Aluminum Pop-Up RTT features universal fitment, meaning it is not vehicle-specific. It is designed to mount to most standard roof racks and crossbars. We recommend confirming your roof rack's load rating and crossbar spread before purchasing to ensure a compatible and safe installation.

How long does setup and takedown take?

Thanks to the gas-assisted struts, setup typically takes under a minute - simply unlatch, lift, and the tent opens with minimal effort. Packing down is equally straightforward. It's one of the fastest rooftop tent systems available, making it ideal for travelers who move camp frequently.

Can one person set this tent up alone?

Yes. The gas-assisted strut design is specifically engineered for solo operation. One person can open or close the tent quickly without needing a second set of hands.

How does the 7.1" closed profile affect on-road driving?

The low-profile aerodynamic shell is designed to minimize wind resistance and reduce the impact on your vehicle's handling and fuel economy compared to traditional soft-shell or bulkier hard-shell tents. The slim 7.1" closed height keeps your center of gravity lower on the trail.

What is included with the tent at purchase?

The tent comes complete with the aluminum hard shell rooftop tent, a 2.5" high-density foam mattress, an LED light strip kit with inline remote, the 90.5" telescoping ladder, and pre-installed locking latches. No separate mattress purchase is necessary.

What does the 5-year warranty cover?

Smittybilt offers an extended warranty because they stand behind their products for the long haul. For full details on coverage, exclusions, and the claims process, we recommend reading the warranty documentation included with your tent or contacting Smittybilt directly. You can also email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll help point you in the right direction.
