Product truth / 01

Weather protection where it matters.

This close-up shows the tent’s covered window opening, zipper path and stitched fabric edges. Its polyester outer fabric is supplier-listed at more than 3,000 mm water resistance, while the covered opening supports sheltered airflow in light rain. Close and tension every cover correctly before wet-weather use.

Turn your vehicle into a comfortable base camp with a low-profile Z-frame rooftop tent designed for quick opening, compact travel and practical overnight comfort. Two footprint widths let you choose the fit that works for your vehicle and sleep setup.

Built for easier vehicle camping

  • Automatic Z-frame opening: assisted support hardware helps raise the tent into its full-height camping position.
  • Compact travel profile: both sizes close to 7.9 in / 20 cm high.
  • Weather-ready double-layer coverage: polyester construction with supplier-listed outer-fabric water resistance above 3,000 mm.
  • Ventilated comfort: bug-screened openings support cross-flow and sheltered airflow in light rain.
  • Included 2.4 in / 6 cm mattress: the mattress can remain inside the tent when it is closed.
  • Built-in campsite utility: integrated interior LED lighting and a four-module power panel keep light and connections within reach.
  • Accessory-ready top rails: add compatible crossbars for selected bike, cargo, kayak or solar-panel carriers. Crossbars and gear carriers are sold separately.

Size options

  • Small: open 82.7 × 51.2 × 47.2 in / 210 × 130 × 120 cm; closed 82.7 × 51.2 × 7.9 in / 210 × 130 × 20 cm; net weight approximately 187 lb / 85 kg.
  • Large: open 82.7 × 55.9 × 47.2 in / 210 × 142 × 120 cm; closed 82.7 × 55.9 × 7.9 in / 210 × 142 × 20 cm; net weight approximately 198 lb / 90 kg.

Vehicle-fit notice

Before ordering, confirm that your vehicle, roof rails and crossbars can support the selected tent size and weight in both driving and parked use. Verify rack spacing, dynamic load limits, static load limits and accessory load limits before installation. Professional installation is recommended when compatibility is uncertain.

Fit & setup resources

Before buying or installing, confirm three separate sources for your exact setup: the vehicle manufacturer’s dynamic roof-load guidance, the specifications for the rack or crossbars you will use, and this tent’s official installation instructions. Those sources—not a broad vehicle category or product photo—determine whether to continue with a mounting plan.
