Legendary Australian overlanding brand. Known for Simpson III rooftop tent and extreme durability in expedition conditions.
ARB is the Australian 4x4 accessory giant, founded in 1975 by Anthony Ronald Brown. The company makes bull bars, air compressors, fridge-freezers, rooftop tents, and the legendary ARB Twin Motor air compressor that's the gold standard for off-road air-up.
ARB rooftop tents — the Simpson III Series and Kakadu Series — are softshell designs built on the proven Cheetah platform. They're not the newest tech (Roofnest and iKamper hardshells are lighter), but the Cheetah platform has been refined for 30+ years and the canvas is nearly bombproof.
Pricing is premium but distribution is excellent. ARB dealerships are in most major U.S. cities, which matters when something needs warranty service.

ARB in Melbourne was founded in 1975 by Anthony Ronald Brown after he broke his Land Rover rear axle on the Simpson Desert crossing and decided there was a business in building off-road gear that could survive Australian outback conditions.
