A rooftop tent sets up in minutes, keeps you off the ground and stays packed on your rack between trips.
We carry hard shell tents from Freespirit Recreation (Aspen Lite, Aspen Pro, Nova and Evolution XL) and Tuff Stuff (Alpine, Stealth, Alpha and Alpha II), sized for roof racks and truck bed racks.
Before you choose a tent, check three things: your rack's load rating, the tent's weight, and the closed size against your rack length. For example, the Aspen Lite is listed at 100 lb with a 49.5 x 80 in closed footprint, and Freespirit positions the Nova as its smallest closed footprint for below-cab bed racks. Freespirit sells Aspen Lite crossbars and hard shell crossbar kits if you need a mounting base.
Shipping: rooftop tents ship by truck freight or carry their own shipping charge, shown before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Will a rooftop tent fit my roof?
Check your rack or crossbar load rating against the tent weight on the product page. Many factory roof rails are not rated for a tent, so most owners add a roof rack or bed rack first.
Can I mount a tent on a truck bed rack?
Yes. Smaller closed footprints like the Nova suit below-cab bed racks. See bed racks.
What is included?
It varies by tent. The Aspen Lite, for example, includes a ladder, mattress, LED light and mount kit. Each product page lists what is in the box.
How do rooftop tents ship?
By truck freight or with their own shipping charge, shown before you pay. Freight deliveries need a signature and are curbside.
The lineup: Freespirit Nova, Nova King, Kali, Kali King, Aspen Lite / Lite XL, Aspen Pro / Pro XL, Evolution XL, and Hub tents, plus Tuff Stuff Alpine FiftyOne, Alpine SixtyOne, Stealth, Alpha, and Alpha II hard shells. Confirm roof load ratings before you order.
Hard Shell vs Soft Shell
Rooftop tents come in two setups, and the choice matters more than most buyers expect. Soft shells fold out from a hinged base, pack flatter on your roof bars, and usually cost less. Hard shells use an aluminum lid, open fast, shed weather better, and sit cleaner on the highway when closed. The trade-off is more packed weight and a taller stack on the roof.
What We Carry
The Freespirit line covers soft shells and hard shells: Nova and Nova King for a strong entry soft shell, Kali and Kali King when you want more shell and sleep space, Aspen Lite / Lite XL and Aspen Pro / Pro XL for the proven Aspen family, and Evolution XL as the current Freespirit hard shell. Hub 4XL and Hub 4 Double add ground-level floor space at camp. Matching crossbars for hard shell, Aspen Lite, and Kali sit with the attach options below the tents. Tuff Stuff Alpine FiftyOne, Alpine SixtyOne, Stealth, Alpha, and Alpha II hard shells round out the aluminum options. Check each listing for size, packed weight, and ship timing.
Sizing and Fitment
Narrower platforms like a Subaru Outback, Forester, or compact crossover often suit a smaller footprint such as Nova or Aspen Lite. Mid-size trucks and full-size SUVs take Nova King, Kali, Aspen Pro XL, Evolution XL, Alpine, and Alpha shells more comfortably. Before you order, confirm the dynamic load rating on your crossbar system. That rating needs to cover the tent's packed weight plus the people sleeping in it.
Hub Tents and Attaches
If you want more floor space at camp without a second rooftop shell, Hub 4XL and Hub 4 Double are the ground tents. Crossbars and side awnings on this collection are attach options, not the primary rooftop sleep path.
