A Softtop rooftop tent where we have done everything we can to have a tent that is lighter than 50Kg without making too many concessions on our quality standards.
Indeed you read it correctly for this rooftop tent we had to make some concessions. First of all we chose a different fabric, an ultra light weight polyester 200D of course just rip-stop 120gram/m2 but with a UV50+ classification which reduces the degree of discolouration. In addition, we adjusted the thickness of the mattress in the rooftop tent from 6 to 4cm. The tube frame we have chosen for 16mm. However, the ladder is a standard telescopic ladder with a maximum length of 2.3m. The rooftop tent base plate we have chosen for light weight aluminium. We also made some minor adjustments to the rooftop tent base plate in order to save weight.
With all these adjustments we now have a rooftop tent in our range that is the lightest but 48kg, the thinnest is only 28cm high and also the good value is in our range the 140S Light Weight costs £ 1,200.00.
This softshell rooftop tent is simple and easy to set up. The rooftop tent has many windows. These can be opened and closed. When the windows are open there is a lot of light. When completely closed there is enough darkness to sleep. Because the rooftop tent lies on the roof of your car, you have a wide view through the windows. The rooftop tent is available in the colors green, brown or yellow. The entrance has a small awning and an telescopic ladder.
At Dare To Be Different we aim for an optimum living environment in our rooftop tents. An extra insulation layer is created by the double roof system. The extra layer is the fly-top, which creates the insulation layer above the regular roof. Because of this the temperatuur on hot days in the rooftop tent stays comfortable. During cold nights this extra layer holds back the heat loss. The double roof system also protects the tent against rain. If you are going to a really cold environment, we can deliver a cotton inside sky, which creates a second insulation layer. The inside sky can stay in the rooftop tent when folded.
Another important part of a comfortable living environment is ventilation. The rooftop tent is equipped with 2 ventilation openings and with 2 windows both with a canopy, which provides a good ventilation during rain. The windows are equipped with mosquito mesh which makes it easy to realize additional ventilation. Both entrances of the roof tent are also equipped with a mosquito mesh doors. This allows optimal ventilation for the rooftop tent.
A comfortable mattress is an important part of a good sleep. There is a four-centimeter-thick mattress in the rooftop tent. Because of the mattress length of 230cm, this roof tent is extremely suitable for taller people. Around the mattress is a zip-off and washable cover with a top layer of cotton. Furthermore, the rooftop tent is equipped with various handy storage compartments to store a telephone, glasses or flashlight at night.
The 140S is a tent with a bed size of 140cm x 230cm for a maximum of two adults. We are happy to advise you on the most suitable roof rack for the combination of this roof rooftop tent and your car. The 140 S Light weight is our lightest, thinnest and cheapest rooftop tent in our range.
