Quick Pitch Aero Rooftop Tent – Lightweight 65kg Hard-Shell Clamshell RTT for 2 Adults

Hard-Shell Convenience. 65kg. The Lightest Aluminium Clamshell RTT on the Market.

Traditional aluminium clamshell tents weigh over 90kg — maxing out roof rack dynamic limits and creating severe vehicle body roll on off-road trails. The Quick Pitch Aero Rooftop Tent solves this by stripping weight down to an industry-leading 65kg while retaining a bulletproof aluminium armour casing, saving up to 30kg over traditional clamshells.

At just 220mm tall when closed, this ultra-low-profile tent slashes highway wind resistance and saves fuel. Release the two stainless steel travel latches and dual high-pressure gas struts lift the shell open in under 5 seconds.

💡 Weight Tip: At 65kg, the Aero is the ideal hard-shell choice for mid-size SUVs, canopy roof rails, and compact double-cab bakkie racks with strict weight restrictions.

🎙️ Key Features

• 65kg Ultra-Light Hard Shell: Up to 30kg lighter than traditional aluminium clamshells — reduces roof payload stress, lowers centre of gravity, and improves vehicle handling on off-road trails
• 220mm Ultra-Low Profile: Minimal closed height slashes highway wind resistance and reduces fuel consumption compared to taller hard-shell competitors
• Gas-Strut Assisted 5-Second Open: Dual high-pressure, heavy-duty gas struts pop the shell open automatically in under 5 seconds when the stainless steel travel latches are released
• Anti-Condensation & Thermal Insulation: Specialized high-density insulation composite in the roof lining + anti-condensation mat under the mattress — keeps you dry and comfortable in freezing mountain camps and hot desert valleys
• Rear Weather Flysheet: Integrated rear awning sheet on spring steel poles protects the main entry point from driving rain
• Integrated Power Hub: Factory pre-wired with 1 x 12V power socket, 2 x USB charging ports, and an adjustable internal LED light strip with accessible toggle switch
• 30kg Lid Cargo Rating: Integrated top tracks support a maximum permanent load of 30kg on the tent roof for additional gear storage
• Complete Gear Management: 2 x large internal removable storage bags, ceiling-mounted gear net, exterior quick-clip shoe bag (mounts either side), and interior bungee cord system for canvas closure assistance
