Your home from home only takes a matter of minutes to set up. A simple pull on the ladder opens the clamshell folding system effortlessly. The mattress inside opens at the same time and before you know it, base camp is complete.

Packing down is as simple and easy as setting up, just lift the ladder and the folding system will do the rest of the work. The robust telescopic ladder packs right down and a travel cover keeps it all safe..

QUICK & EASY

The Latitude Pioneer XL roof tent has been designed to fit almost any vehicle, however it is best suited to vans, 4x4s and larger cars due to its size. Your vehicle will need to have roof bars installed with a load rating exceeding 70 kg.

Inside the Pioneer XL roof tent is a double mattress made from 60mm thick high-density foam, so no more restless nights sleeping on roots, rocks, or deflated airbeds. This space comfortably sleeps 3-4 adults with room to spare, plus the ability to store your bedding and pillows inside when folded-up means more space in your car for everything else.

The internal mattress dimensions are 190cm x 240cm (much bigger than a double bed!)

HAND PICKED MATERIALS

We know your roof tent will be up against some harsh conditions, especially here in the UK. That's why we hand-picked the materials with which it's built, so you can explore whatever the weather.

The tents' main body is made from 320g rip-stop polyester-cotton, with a waterproof & UV resistant coating. All edges are double-stitched and have a silicone sealant backing for added protection. All windows come with mosquito netting to keep all insects out.

The rainfly is made from oxford polyester and the heavy-duty travel cover from 550g PVC. Hardware and hinges are made from 304-grade stainless steel, whilst the tents tubular framework is made using robust yet lightweight 25mm aluminium tubing.

All carefully assembled together, this makes the Latitude roof tent the best option for all conditions.

Take in your stunning surroundings in the comfort of your roof tent thanks to the unique window layout.

Gaze into the clear night sky or watch rain patter down through the double skylights built into the roof of the tent. Then, when you want a great night's sleep zip-up all the entrances to keep the morning light at bay for those well-earnt lie-ins, typically not achievable when camping!

FUNCTIONAL STORAGE

The Latitude tent is packed with clever little nooks and crannies to help you stay organised.

You can neatly tuck your bedding away inside the tent, and we’ve added some crafty extras for all your camping clutter. A hanging shoe bag keeps those muddy boots outside where they belong—plus, the vented bottom lets them drip-dry overnight (no soggy surprises in the morning!).

Inside, you’ll find handy pockets for your essentials—phones, lights, and of course, those all-important midnight snacks. Need to charge your gear? Velcro access panels let you run power cables from your car straight into the tent.

And if you’re craving even more clever storage solutions, don’t worry—we’ve got a whole range of accessories to help you camp smarter, not messier.
