Product Highlights
Aluminium, Not Plastic
An aluminium shell takes the abuse of corrugated roads and years of weather in a way moulded composite shells do not, and it protects everything inside while you drive.
Sit Up Properly
The high-opening design gives 46 inches of interior height, so you can sit upright, change clothes, and move around rather than shuffling on your elbows.
Mattress Stays In
A 2 inch self-inflating mattress covers the full sleeping area and stays inside when the shell closes. Nothing to pack, inflate, or store.
Low Profile Closed
13.25 inches closed keeps wind noise and fuel penalty down on long drives, and keeps you under more height barriers than a bulkier shell would.
Genuine Three-Person Space
A 68 by 83 inch sleeping footprint is generous for a hardshell, wide enough for three adults or two with plenty of room.

Important Information
- Because this item is oversized, additional freight charges may apply depending on delivery location. Our team will contact you with final shipping details before your order ships.
- At 246 lbs with rails and ladder, this is a heavy tent. Confirm your roof rack's dynamic and static load ratings before ordering, and remember the dynamic rating is what applies while driving. Allow for the weight of occupants on top of the tent weight.
- This is the left-opening version. The tent opens to the left side of the vehicle, which determines where the ladder sits. Contact us if you need the right-opening version.
- Fitting a tent of this weight is a job for two people at minimum. Check crossbar spacing and compatibility against the 55.5 by 75.25 inch mounting footprint before ordering.
- The four season rating comes from the manufacturer. No specific wind or snow load figures are given. Contact us if you need those confirmed for winter use.
- Close the tent fully before driving and do not leave it open in strong wind.
- Do not use open flames, fuel-burning stoves, or heaters inside the tent.
- Let the fabric dry before closing the shell to prevent mould.
