Size of the sleeping area

The hardside Roof top tent offers comfortable space for up to three people - ideal for anyone who likes to stretch out. With its huge sleeping area, the Dark Barracks ensures maximum comfort, whether you are traveling alone or with the whole family.

Weight

The Roof top tent weighs around 98 kg or 120 KG depending on the size selected. Thanks to the removable ladder, you can reduce the weight by around 6 kg - ideal for vehicles with a low roof load. This keeps your setup light and flexible without compromising on comfort.

Moisture protection

The biggest advantage of the Hardside Roof top tent is the moisture protection. Water cannot penetrate the walls or floor from the outside, which prevents mold and odors from forming. And the water can be easily removed from the walls with a squeegee and a dry cloth.

Recyclable

The sturdy frame of the Dark Barracks Roof top tent is made of insulating aluminum, which is carefully manufactured from recyclable material. This makes it a perfect match for the environmentally conscious spirit of nature-loving campers.

Structure

Quick to set up and ready for use in just 30 seconds: The Dark Barracks hardside Roof top tent is incredibly quick and effortless to set up thanks to its innovative folding mechanism with gas struts.

Insulation

The walls of the Dark Barracks hardside Roof top tent are made of a special insulating material with integrated honeycomb air chambers that effectively protect against the cold. This design ensures a pleasant indoor climate so that the tent remains a cozy retreat even in the cold winter months.

Outer material

The Dark Barracks Roof top tent consists of several layers and ensures a pleasantly cool climate in the tent even in the blazing summer sun. The insulating roof, equipped with special honeycomb air chambers, effectively prevents the ingress of outside air. This keeps the room temperature constant and comfortable even on windy days.

Car roof load

The required car roof load is at least 100KG. As this topic is more complex, we offer detailed information on this in our FAQ.

Practical thanks to modular design.
Thanks to the Dark Barracks service team, your Roof top tent will always stay as good as new.

Unlike conventional fabric Roof top tents, the Dark Barracks tent is insensitive to mold and dirt. Thanks to the durable and easy-care material, the tent remains in excellent condition for a long time. With appropriate handling and care, it also retains its high resale value.

Technical data.
Frequently asked questions and answers.
Will the Roof top tent fit on my vehicle?
The Roof top tent can be mounted on almost any vehicle with a dynamic roof load of at least 100 kg. You only need two cross struts/load carriers. The Roof top tent is then attached to the cross struts/load carriers using the enclosed materials. Mounting directly on a roof rail is not recommended, as the distance to the roof is very small and the U-bolts could cause scratches. You therefore also need cross struts/load carriers for roof rails. We are happy to offer you suitable carriers for your vehicle directly at the time of purchase.
But with me, the Roof top tent weighs a lot more, doesn't it?


For most vehicles, the roof load is between 75 – 100 kg.
However, this specification refers to the load during driving!
When stationary, the weight acting on the roof may be significantly higher.
Remember: in the event of a rollover, the car must be able to rest on the roof.

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
