The Camping Lab
The Camping Lab vehicle awning is made out of 300D rip-stop canvas and all structural elements are either aluminum or high-resistance plastic so there's nothing to rust or rot. The mounting system is very versatile and all that is needed is a flat surface to bolt it to. Special brackets are available for various applications. The Camping Lab also offers Serengeti rooftop tents from MyWay Tents, a South African manufacturer. The Serengeti rooftop tent is made out of light-weight, rip-stop canvas and aluminum and high-resistance plastic pieces. These tents are both extremely durable and surprisingly light in weight for a rooftop tent. All Camping Lab products are backed by a one year no hassle warranty. The Camping Lab also offers gazebos, roof racks, jerry can holders, fuel tanks, and more.

ARB Rooftop Tents
The ARB Rooftop Tent can be mounted to the rear or side of a vehicle or trailer. The tents feature an insulated, aluminum framed and clad base that reduces weight and helps prevent cold seeping through the floor, and are manufactured from high quality, cotton/poly rip-stop fabric that is breathable, waterproof, and mold resistant. Inside is a comfortable 2.5-inch high-density foam mattress with a removable cover to facilitate cleaning and screened doors and windows. The exterior features a flysheet raised above the tent on multiple bows to keep the tent cooler in sun and eliminate condensation in the cold, and window awnings that are supported on spring steel stays, which allow for windows to be opened during rain. The ARB Touring Rooftop Tent also features an enhanced mounting system with no need to drill into the roof rack or bars. It is also simple to install and remove when not in use. The Rooftop Tent comes complete with mounting hardware, wrenches, a sturdy, aluminum retractable ladder, a travel cover, and comprehensive instructions.
