If you're looking for a 3-season mid-level rooftop tent that is both reliable and durable the Mamba 3 Aluminum Clamshell Roof Top Tent is a good choice. This 2-3 person tent is made from high-quality aluminum, which makes it strong and lightweight. It can be easily installed on any vehicle with a roof rack. The Mamba is waterproof and comes with a rainfly to keep you dry in extreme weather conditions. So, whether you're looking for a tent to take on your next camping trip or you need a reliable shelter for your next off-road adventure, the Mamba Aluminum Roof Top Tent is a great option.
Excellent Functionality And Load Space
The Mamba is amongst the best-in-class of Aluminum-Bodied Hard Shell Roof Top Tents and has many standard features included out of the box. The Mamba has a "Set Up" and "Store Away" time of less than a minute. To open it up just unlock two latches, pull down your ladder, and insert 2 window rods. To store away after use, you just reverse the process, and off you go to the next destination.
The Mamba comes standard with an anti-condensation mat under the thick 2” mattress, an insulated honeycomb base, and enough interior space to store bedding or sleeping bags when closed.
The Aluminum Body comes standard with T-slot accessory channels to help mount recovery gear and many other smaller lightweight accessories. Included are also two standard cross bars, which are fully compatible with Thule and Yakima accessories, to help carry extra gear for your adventure. The cross bars are not expandable, but they can be removed if need be. The included adjustable interior pop-up strut provides additional support for when weight has been added to the cross bars.
The Mamba has a clean, rugged, durable, sleek, and aerodynamic design compared to traditional Roof Top Tents, and will only have little impact on your gas mileage on your adventures.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to upgrade your adventures to the next level. Order your Mamba Clamshell Roof Top Tent today and go explore new places like never before!
Easy Installation
The Mamba Clamshell Roof Top Tent is a universal Item, which requires no drilling or modification to your vehicle if equipped with a factory or aftermarket roof rack or cross bars. With the help of a friend, lift it on your roof rack or cross bars and follow the detailed instructions provided using the stainless steel mounting hardware included. Please ALWAYS check roof rack compatibility before installing the tent as some racks are listed as "not compatible" with certain tent models.
Please note that it’s very important to check your owner's manual, or to contact your vehicle's manufacturer, to get information on vehicle load capacities and warranty information before installing the roof top tent. Here are a few questions to ask:
What’s the vehicle’s Static Weight Capacity? This confirms that your vehicle and your rack will support the weight of your tent, plus everyone in it and their sleeping gear.
What’s the vehicle’s Dynamic Weight Capacity? This is the force exerted on your car and rack while you're driving, so it will be a separate spec for your vehicle and rack.

The OVS Mamba III is an incredible tent, both the materials and build quality are fantastic. In the past few months of ownership, the tent traveled to three states so far. I have stayed insulated inside the tent in severe wind, rain, and cold. Ease of use is unbeatable as it takes less than a minute to set up and compact. Would highly recommend!
