Platform-Supported Car Tents

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Vehicle-Mounted Tent Offers a Comfortable Rest Above Ground

— September 2, 2023 — Lifestyle
Thule has unleashed a brand new vehicle-mounted tent in the form of the 'Outset,' a tent that offers an amazing amount of flexibility thanks to the fact that while it can be situated at the rear of your vehicle by way of an included stand, which ensures that it can be mounted above ground and left in place during short drives away from camp.

This particular vehicle-mounted tent is a soft shell offering that can easily be rolled out onto an embedded wheel mechanism and folded up when it's time to travel. Once you arrive to camp, the tent can be folded out onto its stand, which itself is situated on legs that use a telescoping mechanism to achieve a level platform even on uneven ground. The interior of the tent happens to include such luxuries as lighting and an included mattress, making for a comfortable night's rest.

Ultimately, the advantage of the 'Outset' is that it allows the tent to remain in a hitched position whilst at camp, but can also easily be dismounted.
