Why this tent

Slim, light, and tough

Low profile

Closed, the tent sits about 13 cm high, so it sits close to the roof and keeps wind noise and fuel use down.

Aluminium shell

A hard aluminium shell and frame, not a canvas bag. It packs away in the same box every time.

Light for its size

Around 50 to 54 kg, which matters when your roof has a dynamic load limit.

Ladder included

A telescopic aluminium ladder comes with the tent TODO confirm for this model.

How it works

Unlatch, unfold, climb in

Unlatch

Release the side catches on the shell. It stays attached to your roof bars the whole time.

Unfold

Lift the lid and let the tent open out. Set the ladder against the platform.

Climb in

Mattress and sleeping area are already inside. You can leave light bedding in when it is closed TODO confirm.

In use

Tested in Wales

Our own tent, on our own Land Rover Defender. TODO the photos show the maker's T2 PRO; the model we sell is the T1 PRO. Say so here or swap in T1 PRO photos.

Before you buy

Will it fit your roof?

Every car has a dynamic roof load limit (the weight allowed while driving). It is in your handbook. The tent and the bars it sits on both count.

Enter your limit to compare it with the Mid (50 kg) and the Max (54 kg).

A guide only. Check your vehicle handbook and your roof bar maker's rating, and ask us if you are unsure.

FAQ

Questions

When will tents arrive?

The first batch ships by sea from China and we expect UK stock in January 2027. Reserving now puts you in the first ten. TODO only once the factory order is placed

Do I pay now?

Not through this page. Reserve with your details and we will contact you with a payment link and the exact delivery date before taking any money. TODO set deposit policy

Will it fit my car?

It needs roof bars or a rack that can carry the tent weight plus the bars, within your car's dynamic load limit. Use the checker above, or send us your model.

How do I get it?

Collection from Cardiff, or courier delivery in the UK on request. Boxed, a tent weighs about 66 to 74 kg, so you will need a second person to lift it. TODO collection and delivery prices
