More on choosing, fitting and looking after it
Wedge or flat fold, and why it matters
A wedge tent hinges up at one end. It is lighter, it packs smaller and the peak headroom is at the high end of the tent. A flat fold holds the same height from one end to the other, so you can sit up anywhere in it rather than only at the top. You pay for that in weight and in money. See the wedge rooftop tents and the flat-fold rooftop tents side by side.
If it is two of you touring for a weekend at a time, a wedge is usually the right call. If you live in it for weeks, the height through the middle is what you will notice.
Will it fit your vehicle
This is the question worth answering before any other one. A rooftop tent has to sit inside your vehicle's dynamic roof capacity, which is the weight the manufacturer allows on the roof while you are driving. It is a far smaller number than the static capacity, and it is the one that matters.
Our range runs from 80kg to 120kg. The 1.4 is the lightest, so it is the one to look at first if your roof capacity is tight. Every tent page lists its own weight, and there is a full explanation of roof load limits on the blog. If you are not sure what your vehicle allows, send us the model and year and we will tell you straight, including when the answer is no.
How water resistant is the canvas
Every tent here uses 350gsm ripstop poly-cotton canvas, which sheds rain while still breathing. It is water resistant. No canvas rooftop tent is fully waterproof, and any brand telling you otherwise is selling you something. Canvas that breathes is what keeps condensation off you overnight, and that is a trade worth making. There is a guide to managing condensation if you want the detail.
What comes in the box
Every tent ships with the mattress, a moisture barrier through the base, interior LED lighting, 12V and USB power, a pre-wired Anderson plug and the ladder. Most brands sell those separately. A 200W solar panel is available on four of the five models.
Backed by a 24 month Australian warranty, with claims handled here in Queensland rather than sent overseas.
