FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Seattle, February 5/ ARB 4×4 Accessories/ — ARB is proud to announce the impending release of the Series III range of Simpson tents, annex, awnings and various accessories. With over six months of re-design work and moving to a new factory for improved quality assurance, the Series III tent incorporates an updated design and new materials for better strength, rigidity and water resistance.
Simpson Tent
Structure
Working on the knowledge gained from over three years of both sales and testing, along with valuable feedback offered by our broad worldwide customer base, we have made significant improvements to the structure of the tent base and frame. The base is now manufactured from vacuum laminated ABS materials, offering superior strength and insulation. The roof bows have been increased from 16mm raw aluminium tube to 25mm anodized aluminum tube, increasing the erected stability of the entire tent structure and decreasing excessive movement in adverse weather conditions.
Canvas
The Series III canvas offers greatly improved water proofing ability with the increase from 240gsm (Grams Per Sq. Meter) rip-stop canvas to a heavier 300gsm Poly/Cotton rip-stop canvas with Polyurethane coating. All stitched seams now feature welded seam tape to eliminate seepage through needle punch holes. Hinges have been upgraded from 3mm steel to 4mm braced steel for extra strength and all plastic fittings have been upgraded from PVC to a more durable Nylon based material. The veranda now incorporates dual extendable bows which allow for better tensioning of the tent canvas as well as increasing internal space. Fully adjustable,
these are locked in place with a simple screw type locking ring.
Overall, everything is more ‘rounded’, allowing easier use of the cover, elimination of injury from sharp parts and a far better appearance.
Gone are the small eyelets that were used for locating the window rods in the aluminium frame. These are replaced with over locked openings, allowing for easier location (more…)
