Kiwi Camping Tuatara Soft Shell Rooftop Tent - Extended

Suited for adventures in any climate, the Tuatara Soft Shell Extended is designed to handle our country's most rugged locations. 180-degree views make the most of any spot, and the Blackout fly allows for a 'cool' night's sleep with even better sleep-ins. The fully locking down window flaps reduce wind in high areas whilst allowing for ventilation in all weather conditions. The curved frame design keeps the SSE aerodynamic by allowing wind to blow over easily while reducing noise and helping rain and snow runoff. It Sleeps 2-3 people and includes an easy-to-use telescopic ladder and plush diamond quilted mattress.

EASY BREEZY SETUP:

The Tuatara Soft Shell Extend can be pitched in as little as 4 minutes! The internal compression Straps make removing the travel a breeze by compressing the tent and giving the cover more room to move; once the cover is removed, it can be rolled away under the tent so you can still get full access to your vehicle.

The hardest part of the setup is working out which way you would like the tent to fold out! This tent can be orientated to go off your vehicle's back, front or side. 

Looking to put the Soft Shell Extended on a smaller vehicle? No dramas! the Adjustable Telescopic ladder can be adjusted to suit most vehicles!
