Universal Roof Beige Tent For Car Pickup SUV 4X4

The tent uses hydraulic gas struts built into the hinge between the shell and the base. Release the latch, lift the lid slightly and the gas struts take over to push the shell fully open. The struts hold the lid in the open position so you do not need to prop it. To close, pull the lid down against the strut resistance until the latch clicks. The whole process takes under 5 minutes once the tent is permanently mounted.

Yes. The hydraulic gas strut mechanism is specifically designed so that one person can open and close the tent without assistance. You do not need to remove the tent from the vehicle between trips. Unlatch, lift and the tent opens. Pull down and latch to close. Solo overlanders and car campers use this type of mechanism for exactly this reason.

A manual roof tent is opened and closed by physically folding or lifting the shell and securing it by hand, which often requires two people. A hydraulic tent uses gas struts to do the lifting work. The hydraulic system is quicker to operate, requires less physical effort and can generally be managed by one person. The trade-off is that hydraulic tents are typically heavier than simple manual designs, which is the case here at 63kg gross weight.

Yes. The tent is designed for universal fitment on cars, SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles. Your vehicle must have roof cross bars fitted with a load rating that covers 63kg. For standard cars, check that the closed dimensions (70 x 175 x 128cm — note the 128cm height when closed) do not interfere with garage clearances or car wash facilities before fitting.

The closed size of 70 x 175 x 128 cm is taller than a flat-packed hard shell tent because the hydraulic mechanism requires a taller profile when folded. This adds approximately 128 cm to your vehicle roof height when the tent is mounted. Check the total height of your vehicle with the tent fitted against any car parks, garages, or ferry deck height restrictions before use. Most outdoor and roadside parking is not restricted by height.

The open sleeping floor is 210 x 160 cm. The 160 cm width comfortably fits two adults side by side. For reference, a standard UK double bed is 135 cm wide, so this tent provides a wider sleeping surface than a double bed. Internal height when open is 125 cm, which allows both occupants to sit upright.

Each kit includes the roof tent, a 2.3m folding ladder, and a 6 cm high-density foam mattress. A VAT invoice, fitting instructions, and tracking information are sent by email after purchase. A complete fitting kit is included, so no additional mounting hardware needs to be purchased before installation.

Yes. The tent requires cross bars or a roof rack already fitted to your vehicle. The bars must carry a static load of at least 63 kg. If your vehicle does not have bars, Bragan stocks a range of roof racks and cross bar systems for most popular vehicles. Confirm bar spread dimensions against the tent base before ordering.

No. This tent has a hydraulic gas strut opening mechanism and a different closed profile (70 x 175 x 128 cm) compared to the standard beige model, which closes flat at 146 x 121 x 28 cm. The sleeping area width is also different. This model is 160 cm wide vs 143 cm on the standard model. Both are EU-manufactured with a 1-year warranty and include a mattress and ladder.

This tent comes with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The tent is EU manufactured and meets European product safety standards. Technical support is available by email and phone throughout the warranty period. A VAT invoice is sent after purchase and serves as the warranty document.
