How do roof top tents handle rain and leaks?
Roof top tents use tough materials like ripstop polycotton and high-density PVC. Most have a waterproof cover and a built-in rainfly to keep you dry, even in a downpour. Just make sure you zip everything up and close the vents tight, so water stays out and you stay cosy.
What’s the difference between a hard shell and soft shell roof top tent?
Hard shell tents have a durable outer layer that pops up fast. Many use an aluminium alloy frame to keep them sturdy and stable. They’re rugged enough to withstand rough 4x4 tracks and can carry extra gear on top. Soft shell tents are more lightweight and fold open for more ventilation inside. They’re great for campers who want a simpler setup that’s easy to move.
