Annex Rooms: Your Portable Camp Expansion

If you’ve ever tried to wriggle into a fresh change of clothes inside a tiny tent, you’ll understand why an annex is a game-changer. Annex rooms attach to your rooftop tent and drop down to the ground, instantly adding a spacious extra room to your campsite. This means you get a private changing room, a sheltered spot to wait out bad weather, or even an extra sleeping area for a friend. No more hunching over in the back of your SUV or braving the cold morning air just to put your pants on.

Beyond just convenience, an annex offers added protection and privacy. Kick off your muddy boots in the annex and keep the main tent clean, or set up a camp kitchen away from wind and rain. On a windy night or during a surprise downpour, you can zip up the annex walls and relax in a cozy, enclosed space while the storm rages outside. It’s the kind of upgrade that once you experience, you’ll wonder how you ever camped without an annex. The annex truly turns your rooftop tent into a home away from home, making overlanding life so much more comfortable.

Thermal Insulation: 4-Season Comfort

Camping at high altitudes or during winter can test your gear - and your sleep quality. That’s where a thermal insulation liner proves its worth. This accessory lines the inside of your rooftop tent with an extra layer of warmth. The result? Warm nights even when camping in frosty conditions. Instead of shivering in your sleeping bag as the wind howls, you’ll feel like you’re tucked into a cozy cabin. Thermal insulation works by trapping your body heat inside the tent and blocking out cold drafts. It’s like giving your tent a winter jacket, dramatically improving comfort when the temperature drops. An insulated tent also helps reduce condensation build-up on cold mornings. With proper insulation, you won’t think twice about camping in early spring, late fall, or even deep winter. You can chase snow-covered trails and still sleep soundly.

Roof Bars: Bring All Your Toys Along

One of the joys of overlanding is bringing along the gear that fuels your adventures – bikes, kayaks, surfboards, you name it. But once a rooftop tent is mounted, where do you carry that extra gear? Enter roof bars. These crossbars mount on top of your hardshell rooftop tent, giving you back the cargo space you might have lost. In other words, roof bars let you have your tent and haul with it too. Planning a weekend paddling trip? Strap the kayak or paddleboard up top. Heading to the mountains? Your skis or mountain bikes can ride along above your tent.

The beauty of roof bars is their versatility. They effectively turn your tent into a dual-purpose platform for both shelter and storage. You can attach a cargo box for extra luggage, or mount solar panels to keep your fridge and gadgets running. It's possible to even secure recovery gear like MaxTraxx traction boards. It’s about maximizing every inch of your rig for adventure. For people who love their gear, this means no toy gets left behind.

Security Kit: Peace of Mind on and off the Road

Overlanding gear isn’t cheap. And the last thing you want is for your rooftop tent, awning or accessories disappearing while you’re grabbing supplies or enjoying a hike. Our security kit includes special locking nuts that secure accessories to your vehicle in a tamper-resistant way. Essentially, once installed, only you (with the special tool or key) can remove the gear. This deters opportunistic thieves and gives you serious peace of mind. Considering the relatively low cost, a security kit is cheap insurance for the priceless peace of mind it provides. With a security kit in place, you can step away knowing your setup is locked down and secure.

Rooftop Tent Attachments: Customize Your Campsite

One of the coolest aspects of overlanding is customizing your rig to fit your adventure style. Rooftop tent attachments let you do exactly that - they’re the gadgets and gizmos that boost your tent’s utility beyond just sleeping.

• Love staying connected or coordinating on the trail? Mount a radio antenna to your tent or rack so you can get better signal for your comms.
• Venturing into tough terrain? Attach your traction boards to the side of the tent, so they’re instantly accessible when you get stuck.
• Need more lighting? You can add scene lighting to the tent’s exterior so you’ve got a flood of light for cooking or setting up camp after dark. You can even add running lights or a LED bar in front, to light up those dark trails whilst traveling after sunset.

These attachment kits use the T rails of your hardshell rooftop tent to securely attach your gear, turning your overland setup into a multipurpose base camp. The key benefit is having critical gear mounted, organized, and ready to use at a moment’s notice. Instead of unpacking your entire trunk to find the recovery boards or digging for the tool kit, your attachments keep it all in place.
