CAMPING GOES UP IN THE WORLD WITH THE OASIS ROOF TENT

Forget off-loading and unpacking the tent from the roof rack, the Oasis Roof Tent stays on the roof rack and provides a neat, quick and easy camping solution.

Designed for campers on the move, the Oasis Roof Tent looks like little more than a light loaded roof rack when folded, but when opened provides spacious and comfortable sleeping accommodation for two. Made from strong, yet lightweight aluminium and doubled lined nylon, the Oasis Roof tent opens up in a matter of seconds and provides a comfortable, well ventilated sleeping area. With doors on both sides, access is easy, while ventilation is excellent thanks not just to the windows at either end, but also, unlike normal tent, air can freely move under the tent. The Oasis Roof tent is fully lined, which means it can be easily used during the day.

With it mounted and used on the roof, it is ideal for touring due to the speed in which it can be erected. It is also means that in wet weather this is no problem with muddy or damp sites and there is complete protection from ground-based animals and insects. Access is via an aluminium telescopic ladder, which stows under the tent during when not in use. Thanks to its folding legs, it can also be used on the ground, providing total flexibility.

“The Oasis Roof tent is the ideal solution for people on touringexpeditions who don’t want the fuss of putting up a conventional tent every night,” explains Gerry Wilson, General Manager of Ateco Equipment. “It is ideally suited for camp sites that are wet or stony and makes camping possible in space-limited areas and, with its excellent ventilation and isolation from creepy crawlies on the ground, its ideal for Australia. Combined with its light weight and compact design it could almost be seen as a 21st Century swag!”

The Oasis Roof Tent has a recommended retail price of $1485 and is available from all good 4x4 accessory outlets.
