Mohab Altus Rooftop Tent Deploys into Full-Height Cabin in Seconds
The Mohab Altus is a hard-shell rooftop camping system designed to transform a pickup truck into a compact elevated shelter with rigid walls and full interior height. The unit uses an electric lift mechanism that raises the roof in around 60 seconds, unfolding hinged side panels and end walls into a box-shaped cabin. When deployed, it provides consistent headroom across the interior rather than the sloped profile typical of wedge-style rooftop tents.
The structure is built from aluminum alloy framing with composite panels, measuring approximately 236 by 137 centimeters with a height of around 114 centimeters when open. It supports two adults with additional space for a child or pet, and includes sliding windows, a rear hatch entry, and ports for heating or air conditioning. The system is designed to mount onto dedicated rack setups for pickup beds or 4x4 vehicles, with integrated features such as LED lighting, charging ports, and optional add-ons including awnings and storage modules.
