This past weekend, May 16-18, at the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona, Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar unveiled a conceptual camping solution for the Jeep Wrangler called the Awning and Rooftop Tent (ARTT) concept. Designed specifically for the four-door Jeep Wrangler, the ARTT concept was created in partnership with Dometic, a global company in the mobile living industry, to provide a premium, lightweight, low-profile all-in-one awning and rooftop tent system.
Dometic says that rooftop tents continue to grow in popularity, but poor aerodynamics and added high-mounted weight often present a challenge for overlanding enthusiasts. Constructed with a carbon-fiber shell, the aerodynamic and lightweight ARTT concept eliminates the need for a heavy roof rack system by efficiently and safely attaching directly to the Jeep Wrangler’s roof.
Easily folded into the ARTT’s lightweight, aerodynamic, carbon-fiber shell, the ARTT concept includes an easy-to-pitch tent using Dometic’s AIR Frame Inflation technology and an integrated awning that swings out 270 degrees, noted company officials in a press release. Inside the tent, there is room for a queen-size mattress.
Another key differentiator from other rooftop tent systems is that the interior of the ARTT can be accessed from inside the Jeep Wrangler through the removed freedom panels. In addition, an interior carbon-fiber step that protects the center console is included.
“The lightweight and compact JPP Awning and Rooftop Tent concept is the perfect accessory for adventure-seeking Jeep Wrangler owners, whether they are overlanding across long distances or decide to go on a spur-of-the-moment quick weekend getaway,” said Mike Koval, senior vice president and head of sales operations, Jeep brand.
