Overview
Tuff Stuff Alpine 61 is designed for overlanders who want maximum versatility, fast setup, and true 4-season reliability—without bulky soft-shell compromises.

Whether it’s a quick overnight or a multi-day expedition, one person can deploy the Alpine in about one minute.
Built around a full aluminum shell, premium blackout fabric, and a reinforced honeycomb floor, this tent is engineered to handle snow, rain, wind, and extreme temperature swings—quietly and comfortably.

Installation & Setup Guide
- The Alpine 61 requires at least two people to lift and position. Three are recommended due to its weight and size.
- Place the tent on top of your vehicle roof rack, bed rack, or trailer, centered and balanced to your preference.
Tip: If using a hatchback, check rear door clearance before final positioning. - Insert the supplied mounting hardware and plates into the lower T-channels, using two bolts per corner.
- Run the bolts through the mounting bracket holes, then hand-thread the nuts onto each bolt.
- Confirm alignment and balance, then tighten all hardware evenly until secure.
Wedge Mode Setup
- Release the two rear latches by lifting the red tabs and unhooking them.
- Push up on the handles to raise the tent into its aerodynamic wedge position.
- Tuck the elastic cinch strap upward into the T-slot.
- Attach the telescoping ladder at your preferred entry point.
- Unzip and secure the door and window covers.
- Deploy the window awnings and hang the shoe bags.
- The Alpine 61 is now ready for wedge-mode use.
Full Pop-Up Mode
- Unhook the two front latches from the frame.
- Push upward to extend the tent fully into pop-up mode.
- Pull the elastic cinch strap downward into the front T-slot.
- Open all windows and skylight covers for maximum ventilation.
- Zip up covers for privacy — the blackout coating ensures total darkness.
Setup Time: ~1 minute with practice.
Note: Recheck all mounting hardware after your first trip.
