In it you will not only find space to sleep, but also to stand! Of course, your new camper also offers enough space for at least one other person, since the sleeping area is designed for 2 people. With its two layers, the 70 mm thick mattress ensures optimal sleeping comfort.

The rear entrance is covered with a shading and rain-proof canopy to be prepared for various weather conditions. At night, the LED reading lamps and lights provide sufficient brightness so that nothing stands in the way of a pleasant stay in the roof tent!

From the 2019 season, the Icarus will also be made with the two-layer 400g/mm Riplock tent fabric that is used in the other Alu-Cab tents.
