Quick-setup, spacious, versatile rooftop tent
For those who feel a compelling draw towards the unexplored, who are thrilled by a starlit sky and the hushed whispers of the wind – meet the Thule Approach rooftop tent.
Picture this as an elevated retreat, your castle atop any vehicle. The Thule Approach isn't simply a tent; it's an enticement to a freer, more adventurous existence. Set it up on your SUV, sedan, truck, or hatchback, and voila! You have your very own mobile sanctuary amidst the wild.
One of the key strengths of the Thule Approach lies in its straightforwardness. It's built for ease of use and speed. The innovative mounting brackets make it faster to install than traditional rooftop tents. Once you reach your chosen spot, unzip the travel cover, unfold the base, and within three minutes, you're ready to enjoy your camp. The Approach isn't just about making a shelter; it's about letting you savor the great outdoors in its full glory.
And the Approach certainly doesn't skimp on the outdoor experience. Its design suspends you above the ground, as if floating, surrounded by the elements. Panoramic windows on the ceiling and walls offer an unrivaled view of the surrounding wilderness. It's an opportunity to stargaze, birdwatch, or simply observe nature's splendor right from your cozy spot.
When it comes to the Thule Approach, space is never a constraint. Its modern design ensures maximum interior space, enough for both you and your gear. If you crave more room, it's compatible with an annex or awning for added flexibility.
The Approach series also packs several layers of comfort into your camping experience – a dual-layer foam mattress for a restful sleep, a removable rain cover for unpredictable weather, and a tested and secure fit on your roof racks.
Choose from the Approach S, M, or L models, depending on your capacity needs. The tents cater to different group sizes, ranging from a cozy 2-person to a spacious 4-person setup. The prices vary from $2,299.95 to $3,299.95 – a fair investment for the convenience and comfort that these rooftop tents provide.
