ARB Simpson III Rooftop Tent Setup

Using the ARB Simpson III Rooftop Tent makes setting up camp a snap, taking very little time and effort.

For me the following steps work well to get the tent ready to be used:

  • Undo the 3 Velcro straps
  • Unzip and pull the cover back
  • Lift my rack to the correct height
  • Undo the 2 Velcro straps that hold the tent closed
  • Extend the ladder (this gives added leverage to open the tent)
  • Pull on the ladder, open the tent and place the ladder on the ground so the two parts of the tent platform are level
  • Pull the awning out
  • Climb in the tent
  • Extend the adjustable pole and tighten the knobs
  • Remove the elastic straps inside the tent

Tent fully opened

  • Tighten Awning Pole (I use my foot to push the awning tight and then tighten the knob)
  • Install the poles to hold the window awnings out
  • Install the poles to hold the fly up
  • Install the Annex (if using)

Tent with Annex installed

Once your bedding is in place you are ready for a great night’s rest.
