This is the first in a series of posts that will be a complete review of the ARB Simpson III Rooftop tent.

With adventure or overland travel, camp tends to be moved almost every night. With this type of travel, setting up and tearing down the tent consume lots of time.  On one of our 2009 adventures we traveled with a couple who were using an ARB Simpson II Rooftop tent. They had their tent set up in less than ten minutes each night. Packing the tent took just a little more time. This led me to consider how a roof top tent would work for us.

Having worked with ARB USA on a few other gear reviews I was able to purchase an ARB Simpson III Rooftop tent and Annex directly from ARB USA. The tent arrived by motor transport attached to a skid and was delivered right to my driveway ready to be installed.
