Sleeping two people, the Lite is an excellent choice for smaller cars and anyone looking for a practical roof tent without adding too much bulk. Its simple manual fold-out design means you can be set up and ready to go in around 5 minutes.
The 2026 model brings a host of upgrades, including a comfier quilted mattress, larger windows, improved ventilation, and smarter storage solutions. The mattress stays inside when packed away, so your sleeping space is always ready for your next trip.
With two skylights, large windows and anti-bug mesh, the Lite feels bright and airy, while handy internal pockets and external storage keep your essentials organised.
