RRP $3,999.00

SOLD OUT With possibly the lowest profile of any rooftop tent, the Tuatara Hard Shell is made to handle any adventure you can throw at it. The heavy-duty aluminium shell withstands New Zealand's harshest climates while the pop-up gas struts will see you fully set up in under 1 minute, or 30 seconds without the porch. The incorporated 'T' channel system enables you to fit accessories directly to the hard shell. Spacious, hard-wearing, versatile, the HS is the ultimate Rooftop Tent for serious adventures.
