TUFFTREK® Ultralite XL 1.8m Lightweight Family Roof Tent

Big on space | Light on weight | Built for family adventures

The TUFFTREK® Ultralite2 XL is a spacious 1.8m lightweight family roof tent, designed to give couples and families more sleeping space without the excessive weight of a traditional large soft top roof tent.

With a generous 1.8 × 2.2m sleeping area, the Ultralite2 XL comfortably sleeps up to four while retaining a compact 23cm closed profile. Its lightweight construction makes it an excellent choice for cars, SUVs, crossovers, estates and 4x4s where vehicle roof load matters.

Premium 280gsm polycotton ripstop canvas, twin SkyWindows, a plush memory foam mattress, integrated LED lighting and twin diesel heater ports combine comfort with genuine year-round usability.

At just 63kg net, the Ultralite 2 XL is still within the roof load rating for most cars, SUVs, crossovers, and lighter 4×4s — making family roof-top camping more accessible than ever.

For longer trips, add the optional Lower Annex Room and new Thermal Liner and Storm Cover to create an incredibly versatile family camping setup.
