Wasatch Lite V2 Aluminum Hardshell Rooftop Tent


Description

The Wasatch Lite V2 is the world's lightest full-aluminum hardshell rooftop tent, engineered for overlanders and adventure seekers who refuse to compromise between weight, durability, and comfort. Built by Sterling Adventure Co, it features a reinforced honeycomb aluminum base, fully enclosed aluminum shell, and a razor-slim 4.7-inch closed profile that fits in a standard garage - no teardown required. The V2 generation brings meaningful upgrades including an integrated power station dock, dedicated diesel heater port, and annex room compatibility, making it a genuine four-season shelter you set up once and live out of for years.

Gas-strut assisted deployment means you go from road to camp in under 30 seconds - release two latches and the lid opens itself. Inside, a 2-inch high-density memory foam mattress, blackout polycotton canvas, and three dimmable LED lighting modes deliver rest that actually competes with sleeping indoors. Whether you're camping through Montana winters or Utah desert summers, the Wasatch Lite V2 is built to handle it all without complaint.


Key Features

  • World's Lightest Full-Aluminum RTT: 96 lb shell weight - lighter than any competing full-aluminum hardshell rooftop tent on the market.
  • Ultra-Slim 4.7" Closed Profile: Low enough to clear a standard residential garage door - owners routinely leave it mounted year-round.
  • Full Aluminum Construction: Top, sides, and reinforced honeycomb base are all aluminum - no exposed fabric panels or weight-saving slats.
  • Under 30-Second Setup: Gas-strut assisted lid opens automatically after releasing just two latches - no poles, no guesswork.
  • Four-Season Ready: Integrated diesel heater port allows in-tent heating without cracking the shell; optional clip-in quilted insulation sold separately.
  • 2" High-Density Memory Foam Mattress: 78" x 48" sleep surface rated for two adults - comfortably fits sleepers up to 6'3".
  • 280g Polycotton Blackout Canvas: PU5000 waterproof rating with UPF50+ protection - blocks light, rain, and condensation.
  • Integrated LED Lighting - 3 Dimmable Modes: Amber, White, and Warm White - adjustable brightness with no harsh glare.
  • Integrated Power Station Dock (V2): Dedicated bay keeps a power bank stored and accessible inside the tent.
  • 600 lb Interior Load Capacity: Structural integrity for two adults plus gear without flex or compromise.
  • Universal Mounting Hardware Included: Mounts to any standard roof rack or crossbars using the included hardware and 13mm ratcheting wrench.

Why You'll Love It

The Wasatch Lite V2 has earned a 4.96-star rating from verified owners who take it everywhere - from Bryce Canyon to Montana winters to multi-day desert trips - and keep coming back with zero complaints. It's trusted not just for where it goes, but for how little it asks of you: mount it once, leave it on, and deploy in under 30 seconds whenever the moment calls. The all-aluminum shell is built to outlast fabric and canvas alternatives by years, holding its shape and weather resistance without special maintenance or seasonal storage. Owners consistently report sleeping better in the Wasatch Lite than they expected from a rooftop tent - the memory foam mattress and blackout canvas make that possible. The military and first responder discount program reflects a brand that takes care of its community, and 24-hour weekday customer support means you're never left without an answer when it matters. Buy it once, camp in everything.

FAQ

How much does the Wasatch Lite V2 weigh, and will it fit in my garage?

The Wasatch Lite V2 has a shell weight of 96 lbs and a fully loaded weight of approximately 105 lbs. With a closed profile of just 4.7 inches, it sits lower on your roof than virtually any other hardshell RTT on the market. Multiple owners report driving into a standard residential garage door without removing it - no seasonal teardown required.

Is the Wasatch Lite V2 compatible with my vehicle?

The Wasatch Lite V2 mounts to any standard roof rack or crossbars using the included universal hardware kit and a 13mm ratcheting wrench (included). If your vehicle has a roof rack, it's almost certainly compatible. Optional Wasatch crossbars are also available if your vehicle needs them.

How long does setup and takedown take?

Under 30 seconds each way. Release two latches and the gas-strut assisted lid opens on its own. No poles to thread, no fabric to unfold, no complicated steps. Close it just as fast when it's time to roll out.

How many people can sleep in the Wasatch Lite V2?

Two adults. The 78" x 48" memory foam sleep surface comfortably fits two people, and owners up to 6'3" report fitting head-to-toe without issue. If you need extra length for two taller sleepers, the Wasatch Aluminum Double Channel adds 12 inches of additional room.

Can I use the Wasatch Lite V2 in cold weather and winter conditions?

Yes - the Wasatch Lite V2 is a true four-season tent. It includes an integrated diesel heater port so you can run a heater inside without cracking the shell open. Optional clip-in quilted insulation is available for colder climates. The 280g polycotton canvas carries a PU5000 waterproof rating and handles rain, snow, and condensation across all seasons.

Can I carry gear on top of the tent while it's closed?

Yes, with the optional Wasatch crossbars. They mount directly to the top of the tent and are rated to carry up to 110 lbs with the tent closed and 35 lbs with it open. Bikes, kayaks, rotopax, shovels, and boards all work. The crossbars are sold separately for $225.

What warranty does the Wasatch Lite V2 come with?

Every Wasatch Lite V2 comes with a 2-year standard warranty covering all components of the tent. Customer support is available within 24 hours on weekdays, and discounts are available for active and retired military members and first responders.
