Fast assembly and best features!

Arriving at the campsite late at night in the rain is no longer a problem with the Dark Barracks Hardside Roof Tent. The tent can be effortlessly set up in just 30 seconds – completely without tools, almost by itself.

Size of the sleeping area

The Hardside Roof Tent comfortably accommodates 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're traveling alone or with the whole family.

Weight

The roof tent weighs approximately 98 kg or 120 kg depending on the chosen size. Thanks to the removable ladder, you can reduce the weight by about 6 kg – ideal for vehicles with low roof load capacity. This keeps your setup light and flexible, without sacrificing comfort.

Moisture protection

The biggest advantage of the Hardside Roof Tent is its moisture protection. Water cannot penetrate from outside through the walls or the floor, which prevents mold and odor formation. And the water can be very easily removed from the walls with a squeegee and a dry cloth.

Recyclable

The sturdy frame of the Dark Barracks roof tent is made of insulating aluminum, carefully crafted from recyclable material. This makes it a perfect fit for the environmentally conscious spirit of nature-loving campers.

Setup

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 Tent are made of a special insulating material with integrated honeycomb air chambers that effectively protect against cold. This design ensures a pleasant indoor climate, so the tent remains a cozy retreat even in the cold winter months.

Outer material

The Dark Barracks roof tent consists of multiple layers and ensures a pleasantly cool climate inside the tent, even in direct summer sun. The insulating roof, equipped with special honeycomb air chambers, effectively prevents outside air from entering. This keeps the indoor temperature constant and pleasant, 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 tent always stays like new. The modular design allows doors, windows, and other components to be removed individually and replaced cost-effectively with spare parts if needed. Unlike conventional fabric roof tents, the Dark Barracks tent is resistant to mold and contamination. Thanks to the durable and easy-care material, the tent remains in excellent condition permanently. With proper handling and care, it also retains its high resale value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Rooftop Tent Fit on My Vehicle?

The roof tent can be mounted on almost any vehicle that has a dynamic roof load capacity of at least 100 kg. You only need two crossbars/load carriers. The roof tent is then attached to the crossbars/load carriers with the included materials. Direct mounting on a roof rail is not recommended, as the distance to the roof is very small and the U-bolts could cause scratches. Therefore, even with a roof rail, you will need crossbars/load carriers.

We are happy to offer you suitable carriers for your vehicle directly at the time of purchase.
Do you have a lower roof load capacity? No problem – we have the right roof tent for you too.

But With Me, Doesn't the Rooftop Tent Weigh Much More?


For most vehicles, the roof load capacity is between 75 – 120 kg.
However, this specification refers to the load during driving! When stationary, the weight that can act on the roof can be significantly higher. Consider this: in case of a rollover, the car must be able to rest on its roof.
