The Go Fast Campers SuperLite Roof Tent is a race tent. Huh? At just 80 pounds, with a 50" x 90" footprint - basically the same weight and amount of space my wife's luggage consumes when we go camping - GFC designed and tested the Superlite Roof Tent to be the world's lightest hardshell tent that's also "pretty legit for racing."
The Montana-based camper and tent brand tested their SuperLite Roof Tent atop a race truck in the Mexican 1000. Sounds like it performed well enough to use as a braggin' and sellin' point.
In addition to its easy handling on course, the SuperLite Roof Tent's feather weight, plus a quick-connect system and 6" thickness when shut, make it a rare candidate for a one-man, or one-woman, install. In about 3 minutes. So you can put it on and take it off as the situation merits without the task lingering on your to-do list for a couple weeks and eliciting a shoulder-slumping sense of dread every time you think about it.
When it's time to climb up onto the roof for the night, the tent pops open into a wedge that sleeps two, with around 44" of headroom.
SuperLite Roof Tents come with an optional ladder and mattress, and leave additional rooftop space for surfboards.

Raptor Series Jeep/Truck/SUV Rooftop Tent
I know Jeeps - and trucks and SUVs - are burly and all, but I'm just not sure I'd trust the roof of one of them to support both a(n admittedly pimp-lookin') Rapter Series rooftop tent and the burly hunk of human that...
The Tree Tent
I wish it didn't look like the wasp nest I fell on as a result of being clumsy when I was kid, but other than that the Tree Tent seems pretty cool. An environmentally-friendly suspended abode that can comfortably accommodate...

I recently learned a new word from my girlfriend, She-Ra: Princess of Power, and although I swore I would never use it, it's all I can think of when I look at these canvas tents from Lotus Belle. The word is "glamping."...

Tentsile Stingray Tree Tent
Here's a tip about stingrays: if you fear getting slapped or impaled by one while walking across the ocean floor, shuffle along the sand instead of taking normal steps. Rays like to lay low, and your disturbance of the...

Privacy Pop Bed Tent
It's about that time of year. The time that anyone with a new roommate starts to assess exactly how he or she feels about said roommate. Best bud, mortal enemy, tolerable nuisance, unfortunate insertion into the human...

The Cave Inflatable Tent
I used to climb on a structure shaped like HEIMPLANET's Cave on the playground when I was kid. The Dome of Death me and Cornelius and Victor called it, on account of our attempts to knock off anyone who tried to use it...

A tent cot. It's the combination of a covered and raised shelter. It's the midpoint between sleeping on the ground and sleeping in a tree. It's the lightweight, portable companion to your ventures into the wild. Or the...
The Camperbox - Backseat Bed in a Bag
It's like The Camperbox read my mind. I was just talking about sleeping in a van down by the river. But it was in reference to Raptor's Platform XL fishing boat, what I consider to be the water-faring version of a van...
