This is as quick as it gets! The innovative self-opening window and porch system means that the Latitude Scout has a setup time of under 60 seconds.

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.

ENDLESS VIEWS

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 the rain. Then, when you want a great night's sleep zip-up all the entrances to keep the morning light at bay for those well-earned lie-ins, typically not achievable when camping!

FUNCTIONAL STORAGE

Who says storage has to be boring? The Latitude tent is packed with clever little nooks and crannies to help you stay organized—and maybe even feel a bit smug about it.

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.
