It doesn’t get much more Hard Shell than this! The Sidewinder from Overland Vehicle Systems is amongst the toughest in class when it comes to all aluminum side-hinged Hard Shell Roof Top Tents. The aluminum body will withstand a beating if you venture into areas with low-hanging branches or dense vegetation. This is ideal if you are a 4x4 warrior, a hunter, or just like taking your adventure rig off the beaten track!
This 2-person, 4-season rooftop tent comes with a lot of standard features out of the box, such as an Anti-Condensation Mat, a thick 2” Mattress, and Removable Cross Bars for additional exterior storage. This is great if you need to carry extra gear, surfboards, kayaks, etc. on your adventures.
If you are a taller person (6+ft), a side-hinged Roof Top Tent like the Sidewinder is a great option and will provide more foot space when open, compared to the Clamshell type tents.
The included adjustable interior pop-up struts provide full headroom through the length of the tent and are ideal for additional support when weight has been added to the cross bars.
For your safety, please always adhere to the loading instructions and maximum weight capacities of your vehicle, your roof rack, and/or cross bars.
If it is a priority to have more time to explore or spend with the family around the campfire, the Sidewinder is just what you are looking for. With a “Set Up” and “Store Away” time of less than a minute, this tent scores high here as well. All you need to do is unlock two latches, pull down your ladder, and insert the two included window rods.
Reverse the process to store it away, and you are off on your next adventure in a heartbeat. The tent even has enough interior space to store bedding or sleeping bags when closed, which is great if you don’t have too much storage space inside your vehicle.
The design of the Sidewinder is rugged, durable, and aerodynamic. This helps keep the impact on your gas mileage to a minimum.
Out of the box the Sidewinder has T-slot accessory channels to help mount recovery gear and many other smaller lightweight accessories directly to the body of the tent. Furthermore, the previously mentioned cross bars are fully compatible with Thule and Yakima accessories giving you more flexibility to customize your vehicle to each of your adventures. The cross bars are not expandable, but they can be removed if you wish to do so.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to upgrade your adventures. Order your Sidewinder Aluminum Roof Top Tent today and go explore new places like never before!
The Sidewinder 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.

Please ALWAYS check roof rack compatibility before installing the tent, as some racks are listed as "not compatible" with certain tent models.

Awesome set up easy to open and close great customer service it’s a little heavier than I was hoping took 3 friends to get it up I also have racks 7 feet off the ground so that makes it harder as well but solid piece of equipment slept in rain 20 degree weather in mammoth and it was warm and comfy more condensation on the inside than I’d like but I guess that’s not a big deal didn’t make it wet at all stayed dry it’s big slept me and my gf and my 50pound dog perfectly with room to spare little bigger than I thought too so that’s a plus especially if you have a kid. I’d like to see a better more secured way to bolt the whole thing down because any person with a socket set can take it off in 10 mins and steal it maybe a lock attached to a rail system or something but just a thought great product overall.
United StatesAwesome camper easy to put on had to get longer blots for the camper to go on since the ones it came with were to small but i got the cheap round bars and not the expensive thule racks so i expected that but works great cant wait to see how it holds up in snow, def recomend getting one of these if your looking for a hardshell with lots of room, 5stars
