Who we are
Twenty years of manufacturing, pointed at the roof of your truck.
For over 20 years we were in the manufacturing industry, growing from a small start-up to the largest in the world in a few short years — past competitors, on innovative products, high quality standards and efficiency. We earned almost a dozen patents along the way. It had a lot to do with passion, and a belief that we could do better.
We are bringing that same passion and drive to Top Dog Tents. Our focus is developing high quality rooftop tents for cars, trucks, SUVs, cross-overs and trailers at a price you can afford. We don't claim to be the first rooftop tent company — but you'll quickly realize why we're the Top Dog.
Why we give some of it away
Top Dog donates a percentage of each purchase to forest preservation and the national parks. We have a mission to not only get you into nature, but to preserve these places for the next generation.
We'd rather publish the exact figure and the organisations than say “a percentage.” That detail is coming — ask us on the phone in the meantime and we'll tell you straight.
What we won't tell you
That we're a premium overland brand.
We're a factory that sells direct. That's a different thing, and it's the entire reason a hard shell is $2,499 here.
That our tents are made in the USA.
They aren't. Brands that do build domestically exist and they're honest about the price that carries.
That your factory rack will be fine.
It probably won't. Our lightest tent is 119 lb, and most factory racks are rated 110–176 lb including the rack. We built a whole tool to tell you the truth about this.
That we have hundreds of five-star reviews.
We publish the four testimonials our customers actually wrote, with their names and dates on them, and no star ratings — because we don't yet run a verified review system, and inventing one would be lying to you in structured data.
In their words
“Top Dog truly lives up to its name. Selling the highest quality products in the industry. A huge plus in supporting this company is that they donate a percentage of their products to national parks and forest preservation.”

“We have been wanting a rooftop tent for some time now and stumbled across Top Dog. Top Dog seemed to be the best bang for our buck while checking off all of our boxes. It has provided itself to be durable, spacious, and able to withstand any climate.”
