Sit Back. Stay Awhile.
Turn your GEN 3-R rooftop tent into somewhere you can comfortably spend time, not just somewhere you sleep. The Alu-Cab Backrest creates a supportive, adjustable seating position for reading, working, eating or simply enjoying the view.
Turn Your Tent Into Living Space.
One of the great advantages of the GEN 3-R is the amount of usable space inside it. The Backrest makes that space considerably more useful.
Instead of leaning against the tent canvas or stacking pillows behind you, the Backrest provides a solid aluminium frame with durable webbing support. Its 10-position reclining design lets you sit upright with a laptop or meal, settle back with a book, or simply relax at the end of the day.
When it is time to sleep, fold it down and return the tent to its normal sleeping configuration.
Sleep Up There. Lounge Up There. Live Up There.
The Backrest is a simple addition that changes how the GEN 3-R feels at camp. Morning coffee, route planning, bad-weather downtime and evenings inside the tent all become considerably more comfortable.
- 10 adjustable reclining positions

Add the Drop-Down Table.
Pair the Backrest with the Alu-Cab GEN 3-R Interior Roof Drop-Down Table and the tent becomes a remarkably functional little living space. Sit comfortably with a laptop, maps, breakfast or a drink without leaving the shelter of the tent.
