Description

The Free Spirit Recreation Kali King is a hard shell rooftop tent with a fold-out footprint and gas-strut assisted aluminum shell. FSR says it is a good match for above-cab racks, full-size SUVs, 4Runners and Tundras, for 3 to 4 person trips.

It pairs a fold-out footprint big enough for a family with an aluminum hard shell. FSR notes that many fold-out tents use fiberglass or fiber-reinforced plastic shells that can flex and crack, while aluminum will not crack, blister or need resurfacing. The floor is a fiberglass honeycomb plate with a 3D anti-condensation mat.

Questions

How many people can sleep in the Kali King?
Three adults or a family of four, per FSR. Folded out, the Kali King gives a sleeping area 72 inches wide and 82 inches long, with 48.5 inches of headroom. FSR says that width makes it one of the few fold out hard shell tents that genuinely sleeps three adults. The tent's weight capacity is 660 lb.
Why does FSR use an aluminum shell on a fold out tent like the Kali King?
To avoid cracking. FSR says most fold out competitors use fiberglass or fiber reinforced plastic shells, which can flex under road vibration, develop stress cracks at hardware points and corners, and need gelcoat upkeep. The Kali King's aluminum hard shell, per FSR, will not crack, blister or need resurfacing after seasons of hard use.
Should I choose the Kali King or the regular Kali?
It depends on your roof and your crew. FSR aims the Kali King at above cab racks, full size SUVs, 4Runners and Tundras for 3 to 4 people. It is 78 inches long closed and 207 lb. The regular Kali is 59 inches long closed, 177 lb and sleeps 2 to 3, suited to short beds, below cab racks, Tacomas and mid size SUVs.
What is under the Kali King mattress to stop condensation?
A fiberglass honeycomb floor plate topped with a 3D anti condensation mat, per FSR, plus strategically placed vents that FSR says virtually eliminate condensation. The memory foam mattress sits on top. When the tent is closed, FSR says there is room inside for sheets and a light comforter, so the bed can stay made between trips.
What does my rack need before I mount a Kali King?
FSR's universal install manual asks for crossbars or a surface that supports the tent footprint, a dynamic load rating of at least 150 lb, and compatibility with FSR's mounting hardware or pass through bolts. The Kali King weighs 207 lb, per FSR, and the manual suggests rubber material between the tent base and metal crossbars to stop it slipping.
Any tips for opening and closing the Kali King smoothly?
FSR says it deploys in under a minute, with gas struts mounted inside the shell where branches and dirt cannot reach them. If the struts feel slow, FSR's manual suggests cracking a window so trapped air can escape. When closing, tuck the fabric in on all sides, which FSR says is required to keep the low profile.
