What 14 cm buys you

The T21AD is the slimmest shell in the aluminium line. Closed, it is 14 cm from the roof surface — roughly the height of a closed bike tray — which is the difference between clearing a car park barrier and not, and the reason it is the model we get asked for by urban customers who leave the tent mounted all season.

A thinner lid is not only a height story. Air passing over a 14 cm shell has less to push against, so wind noise and the fuel penalty at motorway speed both drop compared with a 22 cm body. For a buyer who commutes with the tent on the roof, that is a daily benefit rather than a spec-sheet one.

Two slots, and why that is the right number here

The shell carries two side slots — enough for an awning on one side and an annex, water tank or LED bar on the other. Two is the mainstream configuration: it covers the accessory set most customers actually buy, without adding the wall thickness that a four-slot extrusion needs. If you already know a customer wants the full kit, the T21AH is the better starting point.

Manual gas strut or electric with remote

Both versions share the same shell, fabric and mounting footprint, so a distributor can stock one bracket set and switch between the two at order stage. The electric version uses the same lift geometry with a driven strut and a remote — worth specifying for tall vehicles, or for markets where the end user will not climb onto the roof rack to unlatch.

Sizing

The T21AD-130 sleeps one to two people, weighs 54.2 kg and closes to 130×210×14 cm, opening to 155 cm of headroom. Custom lengths are available on the same shell; send us the closed footprint your market needs and we will confirm the tooling window.

One note on the catalogue: the printed pound figure for this model has been queried by the factory and is being re-verified. Quote the metric weight until we confirm it in writing.

FAQ

What is the difference between hard shell, soft shell and inflatable tents?
Hard shell tents have a rigid ABS or aluminium lid that opens on gas struts or an electric actuator, and they are the quickest to set up. Soft shell tents fold out from a fabric cover and give more floor area for the same footprint. Inflatable tents use air tubes instead of poles, which keeps the packed size and weight down. Which one suits you depends on how often you camp and how much space you need.
Will it fit my roof rack?
A rooftop tent needs a rack whose static rating covers the tent plus everyone sleeping in it, with a margin for bedding and gear. Check the static rating of your rack and the roof limit set by your vehicle manufacturer before ordering; if you tell us the rack model we will confirm the combination.
How long does it take to set up?
Hard shell models open on gas struts or an electric actuator and are ready in well under a minute; soft shell models are unfolded by hand and take a few minutes to tension. Neither requires tools.
Does it come with a ladder?
Standard models ship with a telescopic ladder. Confirm the ladder length you need when ordering if your vehicle is lifted, and we will match it to your roof height.
Can I add an annex room or lighting?
Yes. We supply the AR01 annex room and the LS01 LED light strip as matching accessories, both designed for our roof top tent range.
Can I carry gear on top of the tent?
On hard shell models a roof load carrier can be specified as an option - state it when ordering and we will confirm what the shell is built to take. On soft shell models the folded fabric is not a load surface.
Is the tent waterproof, and what does the IP67 rating mean?
IP67 means dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. Several of our ABS hard shell models are quoted at IP67, and that figure comes from our own in-house test rather than a third-party laboratory, so we do not quote a certificate number. Soft shell and inflatable models are water-repellent rather than rated, and we recommend a rain fly for sustained heavy rain. Tell us the conditions you expect and we will confirm what the model you are considering is built to handle.
