Alu-Cab “Icarus” Roof Rack for Land Rover Defender up to 2019, White

Further product information and technical specifications

With the  Icarus rooftop tent from Alu-Cab South Africa  you can easily convert a Land Rover Defender into the ultimate travel vehicle. Not only will you find space to sleep, but also to stand! Of course, your new camper also offers enough room for 2 people. The 70 mm thick mattress provides optimal sleeping comfort with its two layers. Three openings equipped with mosquito nets offer a good view of the surroundings and keep unwanted insects out. The rear entrance is equipped with a shade-providing and rain-shedding cover to prepare for various weather conditions. At night, the LED reading lights and lamps provide sufficient brightness, so nothing stands in the way of a pleasant stay in the rooftop tent! The new version of the rooftop tent, developed for the requirements of the European market, is made of 2 mm thick aluminium and follows the design language of the original roof. Integrated  tubular struts provide additional stability, and the C-channels on the roof make mounting accessories very easy. The quilted roof liner is equipped with insulating foam. The Icarus rooftop tent is made with the double-layer  400g/mm Riplock tent fabric that is used in the other Alu-Cab tents. Thanks to the three-layer tent fabric with a polyurethane membrane and stretch function, the tent does not flap in the wind and is visually and water-tight. Thanks to the gas pressure springs  the rooftop tent can be opened in a few seconds. A surrounding elastic cord makes closing easier. For installation, you simply need to unscrew and remove the original roof of the Land Rover Defender. Then the Icarus rooftop tent is placed on top and screwed in. This means that the original roof can be reinstalled at any time and the rooftop tent can be fitted to another Defender. All necessary brackets for mounting between the Defender and the rooftop tent are included. The rooftop tent is available as standard in black and Defender white. The 270-degree awning can only be mounted on the left side of the Defender (suitable brackets available Item:  AC-A-AWN-BKT-RC-DE-L ). Thanks to the rain gutter, existing roof racks can also be mounted on the  Icarus rooftop tent  (Item:  AC-A-AWN-BKT-RC-DE-L ). In a comparable version to the Icarus the rooftop tent is also available for the legendary bush taxi, the Toyota HZJ78 / GRJ78.
