Features

“Cabana Style” Panels

  • These panels open to allow access to the truck bed from both sides and the rear. Once closed, the panels seal to lock out moisture and dust and also feature locks on the exterior and interior so you can keep your gear safe.

Pass-Through Rooftop Tent Access

  • Provides a super-easy way to get into your rooftop tent by simply climbing through the bottom of the tent in your truck bed. Another cool feature about the passthrough floor is that it’s fully modular and can be adjusted to your preferences.

Integrated Rooftop Tent

  • The Platform Camper doubles as a camper shell and a rooftop tent. The tent is fully integrated into the platform camper to provide storage and a sleeping area all in one. The tent also features a locking mechanism to make sure anything you have inside, stays inside.

Fast Pitch Tent

  • No more having to actually set up your tent, the integrated rooftop tent opens almost instantly using gas struts.

Tent Rated for 4 Seasons

  • The integrated tent is built to withstand the extreme summer heat and winter cold to keep you comfortable all year long.

T-Slot Track System Framing

  • The framing for the rooftop tent uses a T-slot track system that can also be used as a rack system to mount gear, accessories, and other endless possibilities. While closed, it can hold up to 500 lbs.
