Description

Turn Your SUV Rear Into a Private Camping Space

Turn the rear of your SUV into a shaded, bug-screened and private space without finding extra level ground for a traditional freestanding tent. It is useful at small or crowded campsites, muddy or wet campgrounds, national park stops, fishing trips, tailgates and one-night road trips, giving you a covered place to change clothes, organize gear or rest while keeping everything in the cargo area within easy reach.

The magnetic roofline edge and elastic side hooks allow one person to attach the shelter without tools in about 3 minutes, making setup and takedown easier for short overnight stays. The waterproof 210D silver-coated Oxford fabric helps block rain through the shelter itself while providing UV protection and standing up to repeated folding and installation.

The smooth-gliding zippered door helps reduce fabric snagging and lets you switch between insect-screened airflow and a solid privacy curtain. Choose the 0.9 kg (2.0 lb) basic version for lightweight coverage or the 2.25 kg (4.96 lb) pole version to raise the 135 × 140 cm (53.1 × 55.1 in) rear panel into a shaded awning. Both versions pack down to 42 × 28 × 3 cm (16.5 × 11 × 1.2 in) for compact trunk storage.

Functions
  • InstaFrame™ Setup in About 3 Minutes, Less Time Pitching on Short Trips
    The InstaFrame™ fast-setup structure combines a magnetic roofline edge with elastic side hooks, allowing one person to unfold, position and secure the shelter without tools in about 3 minutes. On fishing trips, road trips or one-night stays, you spend less time assembling camp and more time resting, eating or enjoying the outdoors.
  • Fits About 99% of SUVs, Less Hassle Finding a Vehicle-Specific Shelter
    The magnetic roofline edge and flexible side hooks adapt to approximately 99% of SUV rear profiles, reducing the trouble of searching for a shelter made for one specific vehicle model. It is also easier to remove and reinstall for weekend camping, multi-stop road trips or use with different compatible family SUVs.
  • Waterproof 210D Oxford Fabric, Keep the Rear Area Protected When Rain Arrives
    The waterproof 210D Oxford fabric helps keep rain from passing through the shelter itself, giving the rear changing, resting and gear area dependable overhead protection when the weather turns wet. Whether you are camping, fishing or stopping along a road trip, you can keep commonly used gear under cover instead of immediately moving everything back inside the SUV.
  • 210D HeatCore™ Silver-Coated Oxford Fabric, Blocks 95% UV and Reduces Heat by Up to 7°C
    The HeatCore™ heat-management design uses 210D silver-coated Oxford fabric to block 95% of UV rays and help reduce the temperature inside the covered rear area by up to 7°C (12.6°F). At exposed campsites, summer tailgates or hot roadside stops, it creates a more comfortable shaded area for changing, resting and organizing gear.
  • Firm Aluminum Pole Support, Steadier Awning in Breezy Conditions
    The Pole Version includes two Φ16 mm × 190 cm (Φ0.63 × 74.8 in) aluminum poles, along with guy lines and stakes. The poles combine firm support with controlled flex during setup, helping the raised rear panel hold its shape more steadily when breezy conditions arrive.
  • Mesh & Privacy Double Door, Switch Between Airflow and Privacy
    Use the mesh layer to keep air moving while helping reduce insects, then close the solid curtain when changing clothes, resting or preparing for the night. You can switch between bug-screened ventilation and personal privacy without leaving the rear area fully open or completely enclosed all day.
  • Smooth-Gliding Zipper Door, Less Snagging During Entry and Closure
    The smooth-gliding zipper helps reduce mesh and curtain fabric catching during opening and closing. Whether entering with gear, closing the door at night or creating privacy for changing, you spend less time pulling loose fabric away from the zipper path.
  • Vehicle-Connected Rear Space, Turn Your SUV Into More Usable Camping Space
    Attach the shelter directly to the rear of your SUV to create a covered area for changing, resting and organizing frequently used gear. Instead of keeping every activity and item inside the vehicle, you gain extra usable space beside the cargo area without carrying or pitching a full-size freestanding tent.
  • Small & Crowded Campsite Ready, Make Better Use of Limited Space
    At compact national park sites, crowded campgrounds or overflow camping areas, you do not need another large patch of level ground for a traditional tent. The shelter uses the vehicle footprint to create a practical area for changing, resting and gear organization, helping you make better use of limited campsite space.
  • Vehicle-Based Shelter on Wet Ground, Keep Camping Cleaner After Rain
    At damp, muddy or uneven campsites, keep the sleeping area inside the SUV and use the covered rear space for changing, resting and frequently used equipment. You can gain more usable room without pitching another tent directly on wet ground, making rainy-weather car camping cleaner and easier.
  • Durable 210D Oxford Fabric, Better for Repeated Setup and Outdoor Wear
    The 210D Oxford fabric is suited to repeated folding, tensioning and installation during road trips and weekend camping. It also handles routine contact with luggage, camping equipment and pets moving around the rear area, making it better suited to frequent outdoor use.
  • 42 × 28 × 3 cm Compact Pack, Leave More Trunk Space for Gear
    Packed down to 42 × 28 × 3 cm (16.5 × 11 × 1.2 in), the shelter stores flat in the trunk without taking over space needed for luggage, coolers and camping equipment. Keep it in the vehicle for national park stops, fishing trips, tailgating and unexpected roadside breaks.

FAQs

How does it protect against rain, sun and insects?

The shelter uses waterproof 210D silver-coated Oxford fabric to help block rain through the shelter itself. The silver-coated HeatCore™ construction also blocks 95% of UV rays and can help reduce the covered-area temperature by up to 7°C (12.6°F), while the mesh-and-privacy double door allows airflow and helps keep insects out.

What is the difference between the Basic Version and Pole Version?

The Basic Version is the lighter 0.9 kg (2.0 lb) configuration and does not include support poles. The Pole Version weighs approximately 2.25 kg (4.96 lb) and includes 2 aluminum support poles, guy lines and stakes, allowing the 135 × 140 cm (53.1 × 55.1 in) rear panel to be raised into a full awning. Choose the Pole Version if you want the extended shaded canopy shown in the awning setup.

Can one person set it up, and how long does it take?

Yes. The InstaFrame™ setup uses a magnetic roofline edge and elastic side hooks so one person can attach and secure the shelter without tools in about 3 minutes once familiar with the setup. This makes it especially practical for one-night stays, fishing trips and frequent road-trip stops.

Will this SUV tailgate tent fit my vehicle?

The magnetic roofline edge and flexible side hooks are designed to adapt to approximately 99% of SUV rear profiles. Because rooflines and tailgate shapes vary by vehicle, check that your SUV has suitable attachment areas around the rear roofline and sides before setup.
