Fast setup: Gas strut-assisted opening takes under a minute.
Hard shell protection: Better aerodynamics, security and weather resistance than soft shell designs.
All-season camping: Suitable for rain, wind and colder UK temperatures.
Integrated mattress: Comfortable sleeping platform with room for bedding storage.
LED lighting: Built-in lighting for evening use and campsite setup.
Overland-ready: Ideal for touring, expeditions and quick weekend trips.

The V2 design improves on traditional rooftop tents by reducing setup complexity. Instead of dealing with poles, pegs and soaked fabric covers, the hard shell simply lifts into position with gas struts.

Why the annex room changes everything

While the rooftop tent itself already offers excellent comfort, adding the DT Adventure Annex Room completely transforms the camping experience.

The annex creates a sheltered lower room attached directly beneath the rooftop tent ladder area.

Private changing room
Dry storage area for camping gear
Shelter during heavy UK rain
Extra sleeping area for children or pets
Ideal for longer overland trips

Many rooftop tent users discover that the annex quickly becomes one of the most valuable accessories during multi-day camping trips.
