Aluminum Shell Rooftop Wedge Tent
$3,795
The flagship. Same aluminum wedge platform, but the lifting brackets raise the whole shell as it opens — so you get the headroom of a pop-top with the profile of a wedge. Two doors, two windows, 3 inches of memory foam.

How much does the Aluminum Shell Rooftop Wedge Tent weigh?
+
172 lb net, 238 lb shipping weight. Add roughly 12 lb of mounting hardware and the weight of your crossbars to work out the total load on your roof.
Will the Aluminum Shell Rooftop Wedge Tent fit my vehicle?

At 172 lb it needs a rack rated above that while driving — and most factory racks are rated 110–176 lb including the rack itself, so a structural platform rack or a bed rack is usually required. Your crossbars also need to be at least 32 inches apart front to back. Use the Top Dog fitment tool to check your exact vehicle and rack combination.

Does the Aluminum Shell Rooftop Wedge Tent ship freight or parcel?
