The APEX Hard-Shell Rooftop Tent

Built for bigger missions, longer trips, and anyone who wants more room without giving up hard-shell reliability. The Apex is our larger aluminium rooftop tent, designed to sleep up to 3 people with a wider interior, four-season weather protection, and quick setup for real NZ conditions.

At 72 kg, Apex gives you a stronger, roomier setup while still keeping the clean low-profile hard-shell design. It opens in 45 seconds, includes a high-density memory foam mattress, anti-condensation pad, and enough internal space to leave bedding inside between trips. Built for weekend escapes, family missions, hunting trips, and full-send road adventures.

What vehicles is it compatible with?

The APEX weighs 72 kg. Two numbers on your vehicle matter, and they're different:

Dynamic roof load — the limit while driving. You need at least 75 kg, and 85 kg or more is the comfortable margin once racks and crossbars are counted.

Static roof load — the limit while parked, which is what carries you and your gear once the tent is open. This is usually far higher than the dynamic rating, and it's why rooftop tents work at all.

Your roof racks or crossbars have their own rating too, often lower than the vehicle's. Your real limit is the lowest of the three.

Check your owner's manual for both figures — don't rely on figures found online. Not sure? Get in touch with your make, model and year before you order and we'll go through it with you.

How hard is it to take it off?

With the standard hardware, it's a two-person lift and a few bolts.

If you want it off in minutes without tools, add our Quick Release Tent Bracket — over-center latches, self-aligning puck, cable lock included.

What’s included for comfort?

All tents come with:

  • memory foam mattress
  • an anti-condensation mat
  • a ladder
  • 2x shoe bags
  • 12V power panel
  • tri-colour LED lighting
Can I mount gear on top?

Yes — with our slimline crossbars fitted. They bolt into the T-channels on the shell and carry up to 50 kg. Sold separately.
