The windows are additionally equipped with clear-view windows that provide protection without impairing your view.

A practical rainfly protects you from rain and ensures that you stay dry even in bad weather. When not needed, you can simply roll it up space-savingly over the tent entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Rooftop Tent Fit on My Vehicle?


The rooftop tent can be mounted on almost any vehicle
that has a dynamic roof load of at least 60 or 75 kg. You only need two crossbars/load carriers. The rooftop tent is then attached to the crossbars/load carriers with the included materials. Mounting directly on a roof railing is not recommended as the distance to the roof is very small and the U-bolts could cause scratches. So even with a roof railing, you need crossbars/load carriers.

We are happy to offer you suitable carriers for your vehicle directly at the time of purchase.

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


For most vehicles, the roof load is between 75 – 100 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.
