No grass needed, whether you’re on a mountain track, sand dune or a Tesco car park, a roof tent allows you to camp just about anywhere.
You’re far less hindered with a roof tent, you can travel places you could only dream of with trailer tents, camper trailers, caravans, campervans and motorhomes, especially if you have a 4×4.
Attaching a rooftop tent is easy and will fit most vehicles that meet a few requirements. See our page, can I fit a roof tent to my car? Set-up time is very quick and can be done in a few minutes. You will be the envy of your traditional tent friends when you are all set up and sipping cold water, beer or wine.
Roof tents are constructed from a heavy-duty canvas made to withstand nature and its elements. This material is of course waterproof as well as UV and mould-resistant. A strong aluminium support structure makes for a long-lasting and very durable tent.
A good rooftop tent will have mesh windows and doors for ventilation, great on a hot summer’s day or night. A comfy high-density foam mattress should come as standard and some tents even have a sky view window for star gazing at night and extra light during the day.
Being up on your vehicle’s roof means you are out of the way of insects like scorpions, ants, and spiders. Nobody wants to find something crawling around in your tent or sleeping bag! Wildlife in the UK is less of a threat but if you are abroad in a country where there are snakes, tigers, bears, wolves, etc. you will be out of their reach in a rooftop tent.
You have your very own viewing platform with great views that you can’t get with ground tents. Waking up to the view of the ocean, lake, river, mountains or forest, is always better from higher up. You’ll never camp on the ground again.
Compared to the price of a campervan, motorhome or trailer tent, a roof tent is a lot cheaper to buy and maintain.
