Description

The Free Spirit Recreation Kali 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 short bed and below-cab rack setups, Tacomas and mid-size SUVs where roof space is at a premium.

It pairs a fold-out footprint 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.

Why it works

  • Full Tri-Layer insulated tent body
  • 360 degree ventilation to reduce condensation
  • Deploys in under a minute
  • Memory foam mattress
  • Integrated, dimmable LED lighting
  • Heater, AC and electrical ports
  • Sleeps 2 to 3 people
  • Aluminum hard shell

Fit

Mounts: to most roof racks and bed racks with the FSR universal mounting rails. The rack needs a dynamic load rating of at least 150 lb and at least the tent weight; confirm with your rack maker and the FSR install guide.

Best for: short bed and below-cab rack setups, Tacomas and mid-size SUVs where roof space is at a premium.

Questions

How much roof space does a closed Kali take up?
About 50 by 59 inches, per Free Spirit Recreation, and 12 inches tall including the mounting rail height. FSR pitches the Kali for short bed and below cab rack setups, Tacomas and mid size SUVs where roof space is tight. Unfolded, the interior grows to 52 by 82 inches.
What tools do I need to mount the Kali, and where is the hardware?
FSR's manual lists a 13 mm wrench, a torque wrench, a measuring tape, a ladder and metric allen keys. The four brackets, eight T head M8 bolts, eight slider plates, washers and nuts come with the tent, and the hardware and toolkit are found in a shoe bag or on the mattress.
How much weight can the Kali hold compared with what it weighs?
The Kali weighs 177 lb and carries 660 lb, per Free Spirit Recreation. Its aluminum frame uses polymer corners. FSR's manual warns that storing gear on top of the closed tent can exceed the gas strut capacity, and the struts will stop working properly when that happens.
What fabrics make up the Kali body and rainfly?
On the Kali, Free Spirit Recreation layers polycotton fill between two sheets of 210D ripstop for the walls. Over that goes a fly of 210D Oxford ripstop rated PU 3000 mm, coated with silver blockout and rated UPF 50+. Underfoot is a fiberglass honeycomb plate topped by a 3D anti condensation mat.
Can I run a heater or power into the Kali?
Yes. Free Spirit Recreation builds heater, AC and electrical ports into the Kali, and integrated dimmable LED lighting comes with it. The memory foam mattress, telescoping ladder and mount kit are included too, and the tent deploys in under a minute on its gas struts. Sheets and a light comforter can stay packed inside.
