Load Rating Plate · RigFitment
Key facts
- Hub design pitches in about 90 seconds — rooftop-tent convenience without touching your roof rating
- Sleeps 4 for a tenth of hardshell money, and your vehicle stays free to drive away from camp
- At 30 lbs packed it is heavy for backpacking but trivial for vehicle camping
Fitment: none required
This is the quiet advantage of a ground tent: zero roof math. No dynamic rating, no static rule of thumb, no rack purchase, and your vehicle drives away from camp while the tent stays pitched. If your rig’s roof rating makes the rooftop-tent numbers uncomfortable — common on crossovers — this is the honest alternative, and it sleeps more people for less money.
