ARB INTREPID SLIMLINE ROOFTOP TENT

The Intrepid rooftop tent is built for adventurers who want more from every trip. Designed by ARB to solve some of the biggest problems faced by rooftop tent users, this hard shell tent delivers 36% more living space than traditional clamshells while keeping a low profile in transit. That means a smarter setup on your vehicle, easier clearance into the garage, and a more efficient way to travel with gear on the roof of your car.

What makes Intrepid different is the proprietary bi-fold opening system. It is uniquely engineered to create more room, more headroom, and a more comfortable camping experience without adding unnecessary bulk. The result is a rooftop tent that feels spacious at the campsite, yet remains slim and practical on the road.

Built from high-quality lightweight materials, the Intrepid combines strength, maximum durability, and easy use. The shell and fabric are built to handle changing weather, maintain tension, and work properly through regular camping and touring use. Inside, there is more freedom to move, change, and sleep in comfort. Whether you are chasing a quiet morning, settling in for the night, or planning bigger adventures across the world, this rooftop tent gives you the free feeling of extra living space with the practicality serious travellers expect.

For drivers buying premium roof tents, the ARB Intrepid is a smarter fit for modern vehicles, modern touring, and a more hassle-free life outdoors.

LADDER

INTREPID COLOUR CODING

The Intrepid comes standard in black, but ARB also offers colour coding so the outer cover, roof panels and rear branding plate can be finished to better suit your vehicle. It is a simple way to create a cleaner visual match between your car and your Intrepid setup.

For owners who want a more integrated look, colour coding helps the rooftop tent feel like part of the vehicle rather than an add-on. Whether the finish matches factory paintwork or a custom touring build, the result is neat, considered and practical. It is another way ARB gives buyers more flexibility when choosing top tents that balance function, style and everyday usability.
