3 Person Hard Shell Rooftop Tent – ABS Fold-Out X-Frame

Description

Quick Specs

Comfortable for 2 Adults + 1 Child

While classified generally as a 3 person rooftop tent, its interior layout is best suited for two adults and one child. We provide the deployed open dimensions so buyers can accurately evaluate the available sleeping space and decide if the 252 × 160 × 130 cm open footprint meets their exact group requirements.

Why the Fold-Out Design Works for a 3-Person Layout

The core advantage of a fold out hard shell rooftop tent is its ability to minimize roof overhang during travel while maximizing usable interior room at the campsite. The tent expands from a 129 cm closed length on the vehicle roof to 252 cm when fully deployed, increasing the available interior footprint while maintaining a shorter packed length for travel. If buyers are still comparing wedge, pop-up and fold-out rooftop tents, see our guide to hard shell rooftop tent design types.

Open vs Closed Dimensions

Understanding the physical footprint is critical for installation planning.

• Open Dimensions: 252 × 160 × 130 cm (99.2 × 63.0 × 51.2 in)

• Closed Dimensions: 129 × 160 × 33 cm (50.8 × 63.0 × 13.0 in)

How the X-Frame Opening System Works

The tent uses an X-Frame cross-bracing structure to assist deployment. This scissor-like metal mechanism works with the assisted opening system to support the deployed tent structure and create additional interior headroom.

3-Step Quick Setup

Designed as a quick setup rooftop tent, deployment requires only three basic actions:

1. Unlock the hard shell.

2. Unfold/open the tent body.

3. Extend and position the telescoping ladder.

ABS Hard Shell Construction

This ABS hard shell rooftop tent utilizes a black ABS exterior casing paired with an aluminum alloy internal frame. The rigid shell encloses the folded tent during transport, creates the hard-shell exterior, and protects the packed tent body from direct weather exposure during travel. For a detailed material breakdown, review our ABS vs aluminum rooftop tent guide.

420D Oxford Fabric with PU3000 mm Waterproofing

The tent body uses 420D Oxford fabric with a PU coating and a manufacturer-specified 3000 mm waterproof rating. The material is also specified as wind-resistant and UV-resistant, providing reliable outdoor shelter across variable conditions.

5 cm 35D High-Density Foam Mattress

The sleeping platform includes a 5 cm (approximately 2 in) thick, 35D high-density foam mattress. For straightforward maintenance, it comes standard with a removable and washable double-layer mattress cover.

Ventilation, Mesh & Interior Features

To support airflow and moisture management, the tent features integrated ventilation ports. The windows and entryways are equipped with 200 g colorfast mesh, allowing for cross-breeze while keeping insects out.

Included Aluminum Telescoping Ladder

A 2.3 m (approximately 7.5 ft) aluminum telescoping ladder is included for tent access. The telescoping design allows the ladder length to be adjusted during setup.
