Why Outback Tourer Makes the Best Rooftop Tents

Built for Every Setup. Designed for Every Situation.

When it comes to rooftop tents, there’s no shortage of options—but not all tents are built equal. At Outback Tourer, we don’t just make rooftop tents—we live and breathe them. Our gear is built to survive the harshest Australian conditions, with a focus on real-world performance, durability, and ease of use.

So, what makes us the best? Let’s break it down.


1. Quality That Sets Us Apart

Every Outback Tourer rooftop tent is built using premium materials and smart design features. We go the extra mile—because we know the bush doesn’t take it easy on gear.

  • 300gsm or 380gsm waterproof canvas

  • Insulated lids and bases for better comfort in all seasons

  • Perimeter aluminium extrusion frames for strength and structure

  • 304 stainless steel fixings to prevent rust

  • Stabilus gas struts for effortless setup—even with gear mounted on top

  • Waterproof-backed mattresses and replaceable canvas inserts

  • Wide-step telescopic ladder for safe, stable access—included with every tent

  • Solar panel included to help keep your batteries topped up off-grid

From the shell to the stitching, we build rooftop tents you can rely on.


2. A Rooftop Tent for Every Setup

No two campers are the same—so we’ve designed a full range of rooftop tents to suit every setup.

  • Low-profile hardshells for better aerodynamics and fuel efficiency

  • Extra-wide models for more internal space

  • Options with room to store pillows and bedding inside

  • Tents with built-in power for lights and USB charging

  • Compatible with 270º awnings and other modular gear

Whether you’re chasing quick weekends or long-haul off-grid trips, we’ve got the perfect rooftop tent for your vehicle and travel style.


3. Built for Harsh Aussie Conditions

Our tents are tested in the real world—out on dusty tracks, through coastal storms, and into the high country. With waterproof canvas, sealed seams, and smart ventilation, Outback Tourer tents are designed to thrive in all weather.


4. Designed for Campers, by Campers

We use our own gear—and we constantly refine it. Everything we include has a purpose:

  • Quick setup with gas struts

  • Storage space inside

  • Ventilation to reduce condensation

  • Wide ladder steps for safety

  • Solar charging to keep your fridge and lights running

It’s the details that separate a good tent from a great one—and we think of them all.


5. Real Support from Real People

Need help? You’ll speak to someone who’s been there, not a call centre. Our team camps, tours, and actually uses our products—so we know how to help you get your setup dialled in.


The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a rooftop tent that’s tough, versatile, and ready to go anywhere, Outback Tourer has you covered. We offer one of the most complete and capable tent ranges in Australia, with models that suit every setup, every style, and every adventure.
