Overview
The Overlander Roof Top Tent in Coyote tan (part number 2783) is a roof-mounted tent for camping on the trail. It is made of heavy-duty 600D rip stop polyester and is fully waterproof. It is designed to sleep two to three people and is intended for trips where a truck or Jeep can travel.
The tent folds out to full height in seconds with one person, so tent pegs and ropes are not needed. It has stainless steel hinges, anodized aluminum frame poles, a telescoping aluminum ladder and an LED strip interior light. The 60 mm high-density foam mattress has a removable cover, and mosquito screens are included. Mounting brackets are included, and the warranty covers one year.

Before mounting a roof tent
A roof tent changes how a vehicle handles, so plan the mount before the first trip. The tent adds weight high on the vehicle, which affects braking, cornering and wind resistance. Drive more gently on winding roads and allow extra distance to stop. Mounting points on the roof rack should be solid and free of rust or cracks.
Setup is easier with a routine. Loosen the straps and check the hinges and ladder before unfolding, and keep the mattress cover dry. When folding the tent down, let the fabric dry completely to prevent mildew. Re-check the mounting bolts after the first few trail runs, since rough tracks can loosen them.
- Check the roof rack capacity against the tent’s weight
- Re-tighten mounting hardware after rough roads
- Dry the canvas before packing it away
- Keep the ladder secured while driving
