Built tough for adventure, the Tuatara Pinnacle is a hardshell rooftop tent designed for New Zealand conditions. With its durable aluminium hardshell and effortless pop-up gas struts, you’ll be camp-ready in under a minute. The unique extender exo-hinge system lifts the rear of the lid as it opens, boosting airflow and making it easy to close-mount awnings. Suited to large SUVs, aluminium canopies, and bed racks, the Pinnacle is built for campers who want comfort, speed, and reliability on every trip.
