Feldon Shelter Hawk's Nest Aluminium Rooftop Tent - Standard

This Standard model Hawk's Nest offers a taller shell then our Low-Pro model, offering more space inside to keep bedding when closed and travelling.

The Hawk’s Nest’s tough & durable fully aluminium construction creates an aerodynamic rooftop home that is extremely low profile and can be unfolded and ready for camp in under 30 seconds (yes, you heard that right!).

With mountable accessory tracks throughout and optional tent mounted racks that can handle up to 30kg worth of essential adventure gear on top when unfolding,  adventures have never been so effortless.

BUILT TOUGH
The Hawk’s Nest is built tough with a ultra-durable, fully aluminium shell and marine grade stainless steel components throughout. Creating a rooftop home that will handle anything your adventures throw at it.

Combine this with Feldon Shelter’s latest X-Canvas technology, along with tried and true quality materials sourced both locally and from around the globe, the Hawk’s Nest has been developed and proven to handle the toughest conditions NZ can throw at it. All backed by Feldon Shelter's trusted 2-Year ‘NZ Proof’ Warranty. 

EFFORTLESS SETUP & ADVENTURES
It’s as easy as snapping the two easy to use lockable latches open and letting the marine grade stainless steel gas struts do the rest.  The Hawk’s Nest is fully setup in less than 30 seconds making it one of the most effortless rooftop options on the market. 

With the moveable telescopic ladder and two ladder entry options at all times, ensures you have easy access, however your vehicle or camp site is setup.

LOW PROFILE BUT HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE
We’ve teamed up with Front Runner Outfitters to offer tent mounted rack options that let you bring all your essentials along for the ride. There’s a whole host of tie down, load securing and gear mounting accessories available.

Upgradable Marine Grade 316 Gas Struts allow up to 35kg of gear to be stored on top whilst unfolding and at camp. This means less time taking gear on and off and more time enjoying yourself. The modular design doesn’t stop there with multiple accessory mounting T-Tracks featured around the entire perimeter of the aluminium shell, for mounting awnings, camp lights and more.

Inside, you’ll find an insulated roof panel featuring a handy cargo storage net and storage hooks. There's customisable rope track mounts for optional storage pockets and organiser options (coming soon).

Vehicle Requirements: Both your vehicle & roof rack system require a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg.
