Basin Aluminum Hardshell Rooftop Tent

Description

The Basin Aluminum Hardshell Rooftop Tent is a true hybrid RTT engineered for overlanders and adventure campers who refuse to compromise between space and durability. It combines a full aluminum alloy shell - top and bottom, no composites - with an expanded flat sleeping platform wide enough for two to three adults, delivering a livable interior in an ultra-slim, low-profile design. At just 135 pounds, it earns the title of the lightest full-platform aluminum hybrid rooftop tent in its class, sitting only 7.1 inches closed on your rack.

Inside, 53 inches of interior height when open, self-deploying panoramic windows, dimmable LED lighting, and a built-in power management system make the Basin feel less like a tent and more like a base camp. The 280g poly-cotton canvas carries a PU5000 waterproof rating, an integrated diesel heater port enables cold-weather use, and the whole setup deploys in about 30 seconds - making it one of the most capable and convenient rooftop tents available for serious off-road adventures.

Key Features

• Full Aluminum Alloy Shell: Top and bottom construction - no composites, no shortcuts - built to handle washboard roads, mountain weather, and years of hard use.
• Lightest in Its Class: At 135 lbs, the Basin is the lightest full-platform aluminum hybrid RTT available, keeping your roof load low without sacrificing interior room.
• Open Dimensions (94.5 x 74.8 x 53.1 in): Spacious flat platform with full sitting headroom for campers up to 6'6" tall, comfortably sleeping 2-3 adults.
• Ultra-Low Profile Closed (74.8 x 47.2 x 7.1 in): One of the slimmest closed profiles of any hardshell RTT on the market, minimizing aerodynamic drag on the road.
• PU5000 Waterproof Canvas: 280g polyester-cotton blend canvas rated PU5000 - handles rain, snow, and sustained cold for true four-season camping.
• 30-Second Setup: Release the latches, unfold the tent, and windows self-deploy. The 7.5 ft telescopic black ladder attaches via quick release for a fast, simple process every time.
• Built-In Power Management System: Keeps devices charged and ready; includes dimmable LED lighting with multiple color modes, standard on every tent.
• Integrated Diesel Heater Port: Run a heater inside the tent without opening it - external zippers and internal tie-downs keep everything secure for cold-weather trips.
• 2-Inch Memory Foam Mattress: Ultra-plush high-density memory foam with a washable cover, sized to the full platform floor - ships inside the tent and stays when packed.
• Roof Rack, Awning, and Crossbar Compatible: Mounts to any standard rack with the included universal hardware kit; optional crossbars carry bikes, traction boards, and rotopax directly on the shell.
