Why the Latitude Explorer is the Ultimate Roof Tent for Overlanders and 4x4 Adventurers

When it comes to overlanding, your gear can make or break the adventure. Whether you're tackling remote tracks, wild camping in unpredictable conditions, or just heading off-grid for the weekend, a rugged, reliable roof tent isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

The Latitude Explorer - a premium hard shell rooftop tent built specifically for the demands of overlanders and 4x4 owners. Tough, versatile, and intelligently designed, this tent doesn’t just keep up with your adventures—it enhances them. Here’s why the Latitude Explorer stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Built for Adventure

Constructed entirely from aluminium, the Latitude Explorer is a hard shell roof tent designed to survive the punishing environments that overlanders frequently find themselves in, from rocky trails to extreme weather.

Its sleek, more aerodynamic profile also minimises drag and wind noise, making it ideal for long motorway hauls between destinations. It’s clear that every inch of this tent is engineered for the rigours of off-road travel.

Set Up in Seconds

Time matters when you're pulling into camp late or escaping the rain. The Latitude Explorer's gas strut-assisted opening system makes setup and takedown a breeze. In seconds, your tent is deployed—no fiddling with poles or air beams in the dark. It’s camping, made effortless

Comfort Without Compromise

After a day on the trail, you need a good night’s sleep. The Latitude Explorer delivers next-level comfort with its extra-deep base that houses a 70mm high-density foam mattress plus an anti-condensation mat. The combination offers supreme comfort while reducing moisture build-up.

And here’s a game-changer: you can store your bedding inside the tent when closed. That means more space in your vehicle and less time packing and unpacking. Just open the tent, and you’re ready to crash.

Built-In Storage & Mounting Versatility

Overlanders love gear, and the Explorer understands that. It features integrated accessory channels on the sides of the tent, allowing you to mount recovery boards, shovels, lights, Wingman Awnings or whatever you need.

But the real bonus? Included accessory roof bars that are mounted to the top of the roof tent. Want to carry your kayaks, mountain bikes, or paddleboards on top of your tent? No problem. Want to mount solar panels to the top of the roof tent? No Problem. The Explorer turns your rig into a multi-sport basecamp without sacrificing sleep or storage. It can carry 85kgs closed and 20kgs when open.


Perfect for Any Rig

Whether you're rocking a fully built 4x4, a weekend warrior SUV, or a more minimal lightweight setup, the Latitude Explorer is compatible with most roof racks and roof bars. It’s equally at home on a Land Cruiser as it is on a Defender, Hilux, or Wrangler. Or perhaps you have a van! Thats no problem either,

Essential Add-Ons for the Ultimate Setup

To get the most out of your Explorer tent, consider adding:

  • Wingman 270° awning – for rapid shade and rain protection

  • Wingman shower tent – perfect for camp hygiene and privacy

  • Portable fridge or cooler – to keep your food and drinks sorted off-grid

  • Dual battery setup & solar panel – to power lights, fridges, and devices

  • Recovery gear & traction boards – because adventures don’t always go to plan

  • Slide-out kitchen or drawer system – to make cooking at camp quick and easy

Hard shell roof tent and awning combination

With the right combination of gear, your 4x4 becomes a fully self-sufficient adventure rig.

Adventure Ready, Always

Overlanding is all about self-reliance, comfort, and freedom—and your roof tent should reflect that. The Latitude Explorer is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a versatile, rugged, and thoughtfully designed home-on-wheels that adapts to every kind of journey.

If you're looking for a roof tent that truly keeps pace with your adventures—from the first track to the last trailhead—the Latitude Explorer is your go-to.
