Ascent RT
$2,195.00
The Ascent RT is an aluminum hard-shell rooftop tent engineered for overlanders who want a durable, all-season shelter without sacrificing comfort or simplicity. Built around a rugged powder-coated frame and premium weather-resistant materials, it transforms your vehicle into a reliable basecamp wherever the trail ends.
Why the Ascent RT
All-Season Shelter
305 GSM cotton/poly blend fabric with a bonded waterproof coating holds up across seasons and climates — built to stay dry trip after trip.
Built to Last
Black powder-coated aluminum frame with honeycomb aluminum panels delivers serious strength while keeping weight manageable for mid-size and full-size vehicles.
Sleep Two in Comfort
A 78.7" x 47.2" sleeping area with a 2" high-density foam mattress and removable, washable cover — real comfort, not a stopgap.
Fast Pack-Up
Closes with bedding left inside, so you can be packed and rolling in minutes at camp.
Airflow & Visibility
Four mesh windows plus a large entry door keep air moving and condensation down, with panoramic views from camp.
Cold-Weather Ready
An optional zip-in quilted thermal liner extends the Ascent into four-season use.
