Anyone heard if the new ARB Simpson II Touring rooftop tent will be available in North America?

It looks pretty darn nice :sombrero:

Thanks!

The last time I checked ARB is not bringing in their RRT line into North America. I also have heard that Howling Moon makes the ARB RRT line and it is rebadged to ARB.

Too bad - I really like the design. From the pics I have seen, the ladder is positioned in a way that you enter the tent from the underside of the overhanging portion. It's probably just like an open air vestibule, but the design would be very nice for the rain!

I have nothing to contribute but a picture of the Pilbara.

They are close to the design of the Eezi-Awn T-top.

Since you can't get them here in North America that I am aware of, my guess would be the base price and add shipping for across the pond, and I'd bet they'd be about $700 more than the eezi-awns. :yikes:

That pic is quite different from the new version. It was in the ARB action newsletter for January. Very good edition by the way!

Check out page 4 & 5:

Kinda like how ARB rebadges the Engel fridge.

The tent in the ARB article looks very nice though :punk03:
