Roof tent camping in the UK

Considering roof tents

By Kenny Stocker

Wake up atop your vehicle to stunning sunrises - offering an elevated camping experience above traditional tents and at a fraction of the cost of a van conversion, roof tents blend outdoor thrills with comfort and ease, providing quick setup, mobility. Ideal for both seasoned campers and outdoor newbies, can a roof tent compliment your adventures?

Question, what do climbers, hikers, riders, paddlers and swimmers have in common? Answer: We camp.

In the pursuit of the remarkable we find ourselves in the back of beyond needing somewhere to sleep. We are continually seeking not just edges of maps but edges of experiences. Don't quote this out of context, but your tent doesn't need to be literally tied to the ground.

Enter the roof tent—an elegant solution to the problem of setting up your camp fast.

Imagine the typical scenario: flooded campsite, uneven terrain, the constant quest for the 'perfect' campsite. The roof tent sidesteps these earthly challenges, literally elevating your liveable space. It's not merely about sleeping above the ground; it's about optimising the experience, about efficiency and security. You park, you deploy, and you rest.

For the climber, it’s a basecamp that moves with you, versatile and secure, close to the foot of your next climb. For the hiker, it’s a guarantee—no more searching for dry, flat ground as you stumble off the hill as darkness falls. And for the camper, it’s the luxury of a consistent, dependable home base, night after night for the whole family.

A roof tent helps you maximise time, comfort, and safety. It takes the stress out of weekend getaways and smoothes the transition of late arrival to good nights sleep.

As we teeter into an electrified world, a roof tent offers us a way to turn any car into a camper now.

Innovation in adventure gear is not just about keeping up with trends or technology. It’s about realising your dreams, part of which is redefining the interaction between user and the environment. A roof tent does just that.
