The Generation 2 has changed the game for hardshell rooftop tents in New Zealand. This tent is built out of the highest quality materials, to a high standard, to create the best hardshell rooftop tent on the New Zealand market. To set up, open the two latches, push the top shell up (the gas struts do most of the work), then push out the telescopic pole to extent the rainfly and you will be set up for the night (takes 30 seconds). It is loaded with unique features, to enable the best camping adventure. Fully tested in our savage climate here in New Zealand. The tent is very large, enabling the extra long kiwi blokes to have a great night sleep.

Installing information
The minimum distance between the front and back roof rack should be no more than 1100mm, and both the roof racks and vehicle should have a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg. Please check with your vehicle manufacturer that the roof is suitable to handle the weight. These tents generally aren't suited for smaller cars, however our soft shells are. This tent can not be mounted to both the cab and canopy of a ute, as the Ute will flex, resulting in damaging the tent.
