Hard shell Roof Top Tents are superior to softshell models in terms of protection from the elements. The sturdy structure provides better insulation and protection from the elements. In addition, hard shell Roof Top Tents can be set up and put down faster, usually within a minute, while softshell models take more time. In terms of durability, hardshell tents will last longer because the outer shell protects the inner fabric from damage.

Combining the durability and quick set-up of a Hard Shell tent with the added benefit of being lighter, this tent is a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts looking for the best Roof Top Tent for their adventures.

In winter, we recommend adding an insulated cover in colder climates. OPENROAD is a hard shell rooftop tent, and we offer a matching insulated cover to ensure you stay warm even in cold outdoor conditions. In addition, our rooftop tent is also designed with a diesel heater channel, so you can easily increase the temperature inside the tent.

Since the OPENROAD Roof Top Tent is a retractable design, you cannot store any other items inside the tent when it is closed. However, we have designed a self-inflating mattress and self-inflating pillow for this tent, which you can choose to fully inflate and place inside the tent before closing the tent.

The absolute best way to prevent condensation is to slightly open the windows (thehigher, the better) to encourage air circulation. Consider camping with the tent facingthe wind to let nature assist.

If possible, always air out the tent before hitting the road, and make sure to removeany damp gear or bedding from your OPENROAD Roof Top Tent.

You can find your vehicle's roof dynamic weight load in your vehicle's owner's manual or by contacting the manufacturer.

For camping safety, always choose a flat and secure campsite away from steep slopes and water sources. Equip your Roof Top Tent for car with a safety lock to prevent theft or accidental opening. You can also install a car alarm and carry emergency supplies such as a first-aid kit and bear spray. It’s essential to familiarize yourself with your car top tent's emergency exits and your vehicle’s escape routes so you can quickly evacuate if necessary.

If you need to shorten the ladder, simply fold the top rung;, do not fold the lower rungsto shorten the ladder.
