Which rooftop tent suits me? Alu-Cab or James Baroud

Alu-Cab

Alu-Cab is a South African company specializing in manufacturing roof tents. They offer two distinct models: the lightweight LT-50 and the robust Gen 3-R. Both tents provide a unique camping experience.

The main difference between the LT-50, also known as Lightweight, and the Gen 3-R lies in their weight. The LT-50 is particularly lightweight, making it ideal for those who want to avoid excessive vehicle load. Despite its lightness, this tent is made of aluminum and can be easily mounted on the vehicle roof, just like the Gen 3-R. Additionally, both tents come with a comfortable mattress.

So, why hesitate?

James Baroud

Each model is available in different sizes - M and XL (Grand Raid also in size X). The tents come in three opening types: Parallel, Hybrid, and Triangle. Additionally, each tent includes a mattress and various other features.
