Product description

The next level in rooftop tents: more space, more comfort, more adventures

Quick set up for easy getaways

Thule Approach is made for ease of use. Innovative mounting brackets allow you to install the tent on your roof in just minutes—half the time of traditional rooftop tents.

Once you arrive at your destination, simply unzip the travel cover, unfold the base, and you are ready to camp in under 3 minutes.

The panoramic windows on the ceiling and walls will bring you closer to nature than you have ever been!

Tested to the limit

At the Thule Test Center™ in Hillerstorp, Sweden, our car tents go through extremely rigorous testing before they are deemed worthy of the Thule logo. Below are just a few examples of the many tests conducted.
