With a fold-out aluminium honeycomb base and self-deploying window awnings, the tent sets up in one seamless movement—it’s fast, simple, and hassle-free. Weighing only 50kg, including the ladder (44kg without) the Ardvark is ideal for keeping your dynamic load to a minimum when exploring off-road. At just 1.18m long when closed, the roof tent can be mounted on your vehicle in a side-opening or rear-opening position. Inside, there’s space for two adults to sleep comfortably on the open-cell foam mattress. Full-length side windows with insect mesh provide ventilation and panoramic views, and two TPU skylights allow for stargazing at night. The tent also has internal storage pockets and dimmable LED strip lighting, powered by USB. The Ardvark provides all-weather protection with a durable, 3,000mm waterproof rain fly and 100% recycled Oxford ripstop tent fabric. The fabric has a UV-protective coating that helps block sunlight and regulate the temperature inside the tent. The innovative ladder quick-release system allows the ladder to be stowed in your vehicle to keep roof weight down, or attached to the tent. A heavy-duty, weatherproof transit cover keeps the tent clean and dry during travel. Experience boundless adventure with the Ardvark Rooftop Tent. Light, nimble, and always ready for action, the Ardvark has everything you need to feel at home on the road—pack up, set off, and let the journey unfold. - title: 'Dimensions & Weight' content: | Sleeps 2 adults Roof Top Tent (Closed): 1.18m L x 1.26m W x 26cm H Roof Top Tent (Open): 2.36m L x 1.32m W x 1.18m H Sleeping Area: 2.30m L x 1.20m W x 1.09m H Tent weight: 44kg.
