The RoofBunk hard shell roof tent is able to be set up and packed away in a matter of seconds with its stainless steel gas strut system. You can also keep your bedding inside when it's down too- perfect if you're on the move frequently when camping!
The RoofBunk will keep you warm at night due to the shell leaking less heat than canvas material alternatives. The thin layer of insulation on the roof should help keep it quieter when it rains too and the low aerodynamic design of the shell also means there's less noise while driving.
It has high quality 280gsm poly-cotton blend ripstop canvas material on its walls, making it completely weatherproof and every door and window on it has zippable mosquito nets on them to keep any bugs out, while still ensuring good airflow.
It can comfortably handle winds of up to 40mph when opened and the unique blend of polyurethane we apply to it gives it a waterproof rating of 3000mm. This makes it 3 times as waterproof as a regular ground tent and able to handle even the worst rain storms with no problem!
It has an extra large and tall roof tent design, allowing space for taller people to sit up when needed and a more comfortable sleep. The interior is about as wide as a standard sized double bed at 137cm (4ft 6), long enough to sleep someone who is about 6ft 10 inches tall (208cm) and has a high enough ceiling for the tallest people you know to sit up in at 98cm high (3ft 3).
The roof tent comes with a high quality aluminium telescopic ladder that can extend up to 230cm (7ft 7 inches) to allow easy access into the doors.
There's a comfortable 7cm (3 inch) mattress inside that will allow you to have a pleasant and comfortable night's sleep after your climbing/walking expeditions.
It has lots of extra storage accessories for shoes, phones and other gadgets and 4 door porch poles are included too if you'd prefer this to rolling up the RoofBunk's doors!
If you feel this would be ideal for a place to sleep on your climbing/walking trips, then please check out RoofBunk.com for more details!

I see these things all the time and I can never understand the point, it seems to combine the disadvantages of camping with the disadvantages of having a Van. I get it if you're touring across the Serengeti but in the uk??? Unless, like the gentleman in the picture, your on some 4x4 Bear Grylls fantasy wet dream get a tent. And while your at it get a sensible car.
Each to their own, but what you said 100%.
I don't get why anyone thinks that a Sahara equipped Defender or Unimog with a Hyena-proof tent is necessary for touring around NW Scotland, (which now has a name I believe). I tend to think of them as 'mancessories' like pizza ovens, fold out barbecues and fire pits which are all fine in your garden where no-one can see you.
And I'd hate to wake up in one of those at 3 am, desperate for a shite and knowing that the midgies were out in force.
Two points I noted .
1. Mosquito proof nets are no good in Scotland , need to be smaller mesh that's midge proof.
2. Every car roof rack I have had , when bothered to read the manual , stated 50 kg max. The roofbunk blurb has it at 65 kg .
My car & roof rack has a 75kg limit.
I don't think I'll ever get one of these but I can see advantages over a normal tent in at least one situation. There are quite a few car parks, large laybys etc in the Highlands where pitching a tent is deemed unacceptable but overnighting in a van is allowed. Owning a roof tent would allow you to overnight in such car parks, without the disadvantages/expense of owning a van during your normal life (just put a roof tent on your regular car).
On the other hand, being only rated up to a windspeed of 40mph is pretty limiting.
