Short Product Summary
The Gen 3-R Backrest is a reclining backrest for the Alu-Cab Gen 3-R and Gen 3.1 rooftop tents. It has an aluminium frame with webbing straps, a 10-slot design to set the angle you like and can be added to a tent you already own.
Why This Product
A rooftop tent is more than a bed. Without a backrest, sitting up to read, work or watch the sunset means propping yourself on a pile of bedding. This backrest gives you proper support and lets you choose the angle.
Key Features
- 10-slot reclining design – lets you set the backrest angle you prefer
- Aluminium frame with webbing straps – a solid frame with a simple strap fixing
- Holds up to 180kg – the load the backrest is designed for
- Retrofittable – can be added to a tent you already own
- Easy installation – quick to add to a compatible tent
Ideal For
- Gen 3-R and Gen 3.1 owners the backrest is made for those tents
- Campers who read in the tent sit up in comfort instead of propping on bedding
- Remote workers on the road a supported seat for a laptop session
- Couples who linger over morning coffee recline and enjoy the view from bed
