Tuff Trek Mk3 - The Roof Top/Rack Tent - Low profile and Load Bearing
Every now and then a Roof top tent comes to market that takes the bar up to a new level...
When the Designers of the Tuff Trek Roof Tent put pencil to paper - Its evident that the best features of the ALucab Gen 3, Motop, Eezi Awn Stealth, Bundutec Bundutop, The Bush company AX27 and the Boss BA27 have all been solid inspiration for the Tuff Trek Mk3...and they should be - they are all class leading RTT.
The Trek mk3 has East West Mounting rails underneath for floor strength. No OTHER tent on the market has this type of construction, and that means no other RTT can be installed as low on your vehicle. More on this here

When a company releases a new offering - It takes a lot of experience living and travelling in a lot of damn good tents to really know what can make a new tent better - And its obvious to us that the Tuff trek design team have done the miles. They have quite litterally taken all the best points of the most notable RTT of our generation and combined them into one product.
Yes - Were excited - They've done it - and they've added the Pro's without adding any of the cons - Brilliant.

The exterior is finished in a unique HD textured grey and black coating for longevity and strength.
