Smittybilt Aluminum Side Opening Rooftop Tent


Description

The Smittybilt Aluminum Side Opening Rooftop Tent is built for overlanders and off-road adventurers who refuse to compromise on comfort or durability. Its sleek, low-profile black aluminum hard shell is aerodynamically designed to cut wind resistance on the trail and look sharp doing it. The side-opening configuration pairs with gas-assisted struts for a fast, effortless setup - so you spend less time building camp and more time enjoying it.

Inside, a 2.5" thick high-density foam mattress comfortably sleeps 2-3 people, while built-in LED lighting and internal mesh storage keep your space organized and well-lit. Universal fitment means this tent mounts to virtually any vehicle roof rack, and a 5-year warranty backs it all up with the confidence Smittybilt is known for delivering to serious off-road enthusiasts.

Manuals & Guides


FAQ

Will this rooftop tent fit my vehicle?

Yes - this tent features universal fitment and is not vehicle-specific. It is designed to mount to most standard roof racks. We recommend confirming your roof rack's load rating meets or exceeds the tent's weight before installing. If you have questions about compatibility, feel free to email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com.

How long does it take to set up?

Setup is quick and easy thanks to the gas-assisted struts. Most users can have the tent fully open and ready in just a few minutes. The telescoping ladder deploys easily for access, and the locking latches are pre-installed so there's no assembly required at camp.

How thick is the mattress, and do I need to bring my own bedding?

The tent includes a 2.5" thick high-density foam mattress built into the shell. You'll want to bring your own sleeping bag or blankets and pillows, but no additional sleeping pad is needed - the included mattress provides solid support and comfort for 2-3 sleepers.

Can I leave the tent on my vehicle year-round?

The aluminum hard shell is designed for durability in varied weather conditions and can be left mounted on your vehicle. When closed, the low-profile design minimizes aerodynamic drag. For extended periods of non-use, covering the tent or storing it in a garage can help prolong the finish life.

What is the weight limit for the tent?

The Smittybilt Aluminum Side Opening Rooftop Tent has a load capacity of 661 lbs. This accounts for occupants and gear inside the tent. Always ensure your vehicle's roof rack is rated to support the combined weight of the tent and its occupants.

Does this tent come with installation hardware?

The tent is designed for universal fitment and comes with locking latches pre-installed. Installation instructions are included. The tent mounts to standard roof rack crossbars - refer to the included installation guide for specific hardware requirements and torque specifications.
