The 23Zero Armadillo Horizon is a top-tier luxury hardshell rooftop tent designed for serious overland enthusiasts, off-road adventurers, and dedicated campers seeking superior comfort and durability. Inspired by the acclaimed Kabari PRO, Armadillo X, and Armadillo A models, the Horizon rooftop tent features a sleek, aerodynamic shell combined with innovative design elements to meet the needs of modern roof top tent camping.
Constructed from a rugged, trail-tested 14 GA fully welded aluminum shell with rounded corners, this heavy-duty rooftop tent offers exceptional strength and reliable, all-weather protection for 4-season camping. Its left-side-opening design includes a high-lift, gas-strut-assisted hinge system that enables fast, effortless setup and takedown—eliminating the hassle of front rainfly poles with an integrated hoop for instant weather protection.
Inside, campers will enjoy panoramic 360-degree views through oversized mesh windows (two 40” x 23” side windows, one 28” x 30” door, and one 43” x 7” rear window), plus a large 36” x 20” skylight ideal for star gazing and connecting with nature. The plush 3” self-inflating mattress with dual fill ports allows bedding to remain inside during travel, ensuring restful sleep on any terrain. The tent’s advanced ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) keeps the interior cooler and darker—perfect for early morning rest in sunny environments.
Additional premium features include an integrated 43” dimmable USB LED light bar with white, amber, and blended lighting modes, full bug mesh on all openings, and weather canopies that provide airflow while protecting against the elements. Thoughtfully designed storage options—like a six-pocket overhead gear loft, side organizers, boot bag, and dual hanging gear bags—make this one of the most organized rooftop tents on the market.
The Horizon also features a dual T-slot roof rail system that supports up to 50 lbs, perfect for mounting solar panels, recovery gear, or other off-road accessories. Power your devices easily with the built-in power module featuring 12V, USB-A, and USB-C ports wired to a preinstalled AP-50 Anderson plug (power supply not included).
The 23Zero Armadillo Horizon rooftop tent comes ready to install with a preinstalled ladder, gear bags, snow pole, and complete mounting hardware—ideal for SUVs, trucks, and overland vehicles.
