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.
