Key Features
What defines this full-size rectangular hard-shell rooftop tent — its all-aluminum build, weather rating, and wide interior.
100% Aluminum Alloy
Built entirely from aircraft-grade aluminum that resists aging and thermal expansion — unlike plastic shells that can crack and leak between seasons.
5000 mm Waterproof
A high 5000 mm rainproof rating with double-layer stitched fabric, plus level-6 wind, level-4 snow protection, and 99.99% UV blocking.
Full Sliding-Rail Design
Integrated side rails let you hang and reposition accessories freely along the tent, adapting the setup to how you camp.
Wide View & Storage
A wide rectangular interior with three mesh windows, top storage pockets, and four side pockets — easy to reach and easy to organize.
2.56″ Triple-Layer Bed
A 0.8 mm fleece base, 0.8 cm condensation pad, and 5 cm sponge mattress combine for a 2.56-inch comfort system that resists moisture.
Open in 30 Seconds
Release the latch and the stainless-steel gas strut pushes the shell up automatically — then install the rain canopy and you’re set.

How It’s Built to Work
A closer look at the aluminum body, sliding rails, wide interior, weatherproofing, and comfort system.
Hard-Shell, Full-Size Rectangle
Unlike tapered Z-shaped shells, this tent uses a full rectangular footprint, so the usable floor and headroom stay consistent end to end. The hard shell closes into a low profile for driving and protects whatever bedding you store inside.
100% Aluminum, Steel Gas Strut
The body is 100% aircraft-grade aluminum, paired with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel air-pressure rod that won’t rust over time. It’s engineered to handle repeated open-and-close cycles and long-term outdoor exposure without warping.
Full Sliding-Rail Design
Rails run the length of the tent so you can clip on lights, organizers, and gear exactly where you want them, then slide them as needed. It keeps the interior flexible instead of locking you into fixed attachment points.
Wide View & Storage Pockets
Large mesh windows on three sides open up the view and airflow, while top storage pockets hold a phone or tablet for watching while lying down. Four side pockets keep small gear within reach so the mattress stays clear.
5000 mm All-Weather Rating
The breathable, blackout polyester carries a 5000 mm waterproof rating with double-layer stitching to prevent seepage, plus level-6 wind resistance, level-4 heavy-snow protection, and 99.99% UV blocking for confident 4-season use.
2.56″ Triple-Layer Sleep System
Three layers stack to 2.56 inches: a 0.8 mm fleece bottom, a 0.8 cm condensation pad that handles temperature-driven moisture, and a 5 cm non-deforming sponge mattress on top for supportive, dry sleep.
LED Strip & Full Accessory Kit
A user-friendly LED light strip with USB charging makes camp nights easier, and the tent ships fully equipped: a 7.5 ft telescoping ladder with organizer, 10 organizer bags, two shoe organizers, three mesh windows, and two mattresses plus a built-in mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does this WildFinder rooftop tent weigh?
The tent has a net weight of about 169.4 lb and a gross (shipping) weight of about 235.9 lb. Because of the weight, check your roof rack’s static and dynamic load ratings before mounting, and plan for a helper during installation.
How thick a mattress can I add and still close the tent?
If you remove the original mattress, you can fit a mattress up to about 4 inches thick. If you keep the original mattress in place, you can add roughly a 2-inch mattress on top and still close the hard shell.
What is the height of the tent when closed?
The closed height of the tent itself is approximately 7.1 inches. Once mounted on a roof rack, expect roughly 4 inches of clearance between the tent base and the car roof, which adds to the overall stack height.
How is it different from the Z-shaped WildFinder rooftop tent?
This model uses a full rectangular footprint (83″×52″) with a higher 5000 mm waterproof rating and a full sliding-rail design, giving a wider, more uniform interior. The Z-shaped version has a tapered shape and a 3000 mm rating. Choose this one for maximum width and storage flexibility.
Is it waterproof enough for heavy weather?
Yes — it carries a 5000 mm waterproof rating with double-layer stitching to prevent seepage, plus level-6 wind and level-4 heavy-snow protection. Real-world performance still depends on correct setup, tensioning, and anchoring in changing conditions.
Where can I check current price and availability?
