New Zealand's first Blackout Rooftop Tent, the Tuatara Crest Rooftop Tent, is our most compact, lightweight rooftop tent that pitches and packs down in minutes. The unique slatted base allows for a lightweight design that reduces condensation build-up. Perfect for smaller vehicles and Ute's, simply adjust the telescopic ladder to suit your vehicle's height.

The basics – Tuatara Crest

  • Blackout Fly: Inside is darker for better sleep and less heat, thanks to strong 200D Ripstop Polyester material.
  • Fast-drying Fabric: The tent's body is made of lightweight 190g ripstop polyester that dries fast, preventing mold and staying waterproof (8000mm PU rating) even without pre-seasoning.
  • Slatted Base Design: enhances airflow, reduces weight, and prevents moisture buildup, letting the tent "breathe" better.
  • Telescopic Ladder: Telescopic ladder is flat and ergonomic, providing comfort, especially for bare feet.
  • Enhanced Cover: New cover design attaches like a sail track, can be rolled away when the tent is open. Lightweight material with welded seams for better waterproofing and durability.
  • Compatible with Accessories: Added zipper to front porch for optional annex and awning room (available in 2024).
  • Better Protection: Longer front door and side windows that keep water out, ensuring a dry interior.
  • Compact & Versatile: Perfect for smaller vehicles or truck trays. Allows storage of equipment like bikes alongside.
