The Rooftop Advantage

Rooftop tents are a great solution for both touring and extended camping trips. Rooftop camping comes with a range of benefits including an elevated abode away from animals, away from running surface water in heavy rain, and away from uneven ground and rocks in your hip or back. They also offer a simplified setup and pack up to ensure you spend more time doing the things you love.

The Hardshell Advantage

The benefits of a hard-shell rooftop tent really come into their own when looking at the convenience of set-up and pack up as the hard-shell cover itself forms a functional part of the tent’s construction. Set up becomes a breeze with little to no structural poles to place; simply pop it open, roll out the ladder and you’re literally a few steps away from a good night’s sleep.

Our Expedition Tent just got that much better! We have added unique features to improve your camping experience.

When rooftop tents first hit the market they were revolutionary, mostly because your tent and mattress (the two things that take up the most packing space) were now conveniently stored on your roof. Of course, there are many more benefits to owning a rooftop tent, but likewise, there are plenty of cons, too.

Fortunately, most of these drawbacks are associated with soft-shell rooftop tents, as well as heavy canvas units that are difficult to flip open. For these reasons, our Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design. The benefits of this setup include…

• A gas-strut assisted design that takes seconds to open and close
• A three-point entry / exit layout so you don’t have to plan your campsite around your tent
• A more aerodynamic shape
• You can close the tent with your bedding inside, and lastly…
• Our Expedition Tent has always followed a hard-shell design.

With two different styles of swags in the range, you will find a swag to suit you.

RIDGE POLE SWAGS

The new Ridge Pole Swag by Ironman 4×4 is a completely new design; moving away from the three-hoop concept to a simplified two-hoop with tensioning centre ridge pole. It’s not a new concept, but one that simplifies set-up and pack-up. It also offers greater volume, with no tapering at the waist and legs.

DOME SWAGS

Made from heavy duty ripstop canvas, lightweight alloy poles and with a heavy duty carry bag, the Dome Single & Double swags are ready for the Australian Outback. Sleep watching the stars, or fully closed off from the outside world, the choice is yours with the insect mesh protection layer.

An awning for all seasons; with the Deltawing 270° awning range Ironman 4×4 really does have you covered.

Slip, Slop, Slap – words all Australians have learnt to live by. While we love our sunburnt country there is no denying that while spending time with nature, nature can be cruel. A vehicle awning for your 4WD or SUV provides more than just protection, it provides a hugely improved level of comfort. Whether it’s to escape the heat or to provide dry refuge during a downpour; an awning can quickly become one of your most valued accessories.

Whether you’re exploring the Outback, trekking through Nevada’s Death Valley, or charging red sand dunes in the Kalahari, no camping accessory’s job is more vital than the ability to cast shade.

For seasoned campers, an awning is very often the first accessory they bolt to their vehicle, knowing that the ability to cast as much shade as possible (in the quickest time) is crucial to overland travel. What you don’t want is to be battling with poles, pegs and guy ropes in blistering midday heat, or when rain is thundering down.

This is why our globally popular 270º Shadow Awning is designed to open, and setup, all in one. There are no additional steps or poles to pitch; you just unzip the bag and swing the awning through a full 270º. It’s so easy, one person can manage it.

This wrap-around effect means that you get to enjoy 10 square metres of shelter around the full working area of your vehicle, especially where it’s needed – at the rear, where your drawer system, fridge, and supplies are stored.

Whether you are just stopping on the side of the road for lunch, or setting up camp for a week, the Ironman Instant Awning will provide you with much needed shade from the sun. The Instant Awning range attaches to your roof rack and sets up in minutes. Simply unzip the PVC Cover, roll out the Ripstop Canvas awning, lock in the cam-lock telescopic uprights and supports, and peg it down with the included guy ropes and pegs. With a range of upgrades, there is a shade solution to suit you.

Ironman 4x4's range of camping chairs and tables ensures your gatherings around the campfire will be in complete comfort. A strong steel frame construction, stabilising flat feet and soft, but durable heavy duty material will guarantee these camping essentials will last you for many, many years. All chairs open and close in seconds with a smooth gliding motion and include an individual carry bag for portability and easy storage. The range of chairs from Ironman 4x4 take camping and leisure comfort to the next level wherever you may take them.
