Soft-Shell Fold-OutSleeps 4+Soft shell (PVC travel cover)

The Tuff Stuff Elite is a soft-shell fold-out rooftop tent built for a crew. It opens to a 78 × 96 in mattress that sleeps four to five people, and a removable divider splits it into two rooms, each with its own door and ladder. A 113 × 90 in annex room with a PVC floor comes in the box.

The body is 280G poly-cotton ripstop with taped seams under a 420D Oxford rainfly, made for four-season camping. It rides on an insulated, welded 2 in aluminum base rated to 800 lb. Six mesh windows, a pull-out veranda and a 2.75 in mattress with a washable cover finish it off. The tent weighs 194 lb and travels under a 1000D PVC cover.

Plan on 1–2 hours and two people for the first install. The brackets slide along the base rails and fit crossbars up to 3.25 in wide; you supply the rack. It opens off either side or the rear and works best mounted 76–78 in off the ground. It ships by LTL freight, and we ship it free within the contiguous U.S.

Questions we get

Which side does it open to?Either side of the vehicle or off the rear. Pick the side that suits your camp and awning.
Will it fit my crossbars?The included brackets take crossbars up to 3.25 in wide and slide along the base rails, which sit 32 in apart. Crossbars can be up to 52 in apart; 45 in or less gives the best support. You need your own roof rack, bed rack or trailer.
Is the annex room included?Yes. The 113 × 90 in annex room with floor zips on after the tent is installed, and the stakes come with it.
How long does setup take?About 10–15 minutes once you've practiced a few times. Most of that is setting the window rods.
How high should it be mounted?Tuff Stuff suggests 76–78 in off the ground so the ladders extend fully and the annex reaches the ground.
How does it ship?By LTL freight on a pallet, about 286 lb total. The carrier calls to schedule delivery, and you should inspect it before signing.
