Hard Shell Roof Top Tent – 3 Person, 54 kg

Description

A three-person hard shell for families who want the one-minute setup without dropping to a two-person floor. 54 kg, which is the honest cost of the extra sleeping space.

Check this one against your roof before anything else

At 54 kg plus about 7 kg of bars, this needs a roof rated 61 kg or better while driving. That rules out the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator hardtops (45.4 kg), the Ford Bronco (49.9 kg) and the 4Runner (54.4 kg). It suits a Subaru Outback, Forester or Crosstrek, and a RAV4 on non-Toyota bars.

We would rather lose the sale than sell you a tent your vehicle is not rated to carry. Look yours up on the fitment page first.

Three people, and what that actually means

Three-person roof top tents sleep three adults in the sense that three bodies fit. For two adults and a child it is genuinely comfortable; for three adults it is close quarters. The floor is the constraint, not the shell.

If you camp with children or a dog and want somewhere to stand up and change, a soft shell with an annex gives you more usable space for less money – the annex hangs beneath the overhanging half, which a hard shell cannot offer because there is nothing under it but roof.

Questions people ask about this

Can I put a roof top tent on any car?

No, and this is the question that decides the purchase. Your vehicle has a dynamic roof load – what it may carry while driving – and the tent plus the bars must come in under it. Many popular vehicles are rated at only 45 to 68 kg. Check yours on our fitment page before you order anything.

What is the largest rooftop tent I can fit?

Whatever your roof load allows, not whatever looks big enough. Work out the lower of your vehicle limit and your rack limit, subtract the weight of the bars, and the number left is the heaviest tent you may fit. On most Canadian family SUVs that lands between 45 and 73 kg.

Is the roof load enough for two adults sleeping up there?

Usually, but check rather than assume. The parked (static) limit is higher than the driving one, but it is the lower of your vehicle’s static rating and your rack’s – and many racks publish no static rating at all. Our roof load guide works it through on nine real vehicles.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes, to all ten provinces and the three territories. Delivery is a flat $89 anywhere in Canada, and free once your order reaches $999. See delivery.
