Tepui rooftop vehicle tents popularized by camping and overlanding outdoor enthusiasts have been re-branded as Thule Tepui rooftop tents.
Outdoor accessories maker Thule acquired Tepui in late 2018.
Our friends and partners at Summit Racing offer a wide variety of Thule Tepui rooftop tents to include on your future outdoor adventures.
Let’s take a closer look.
Thule Tepui Explorer Series Ayer Tents
Thule Tepui Explorer Series Ayer tents are designed for all-year, all-season adventures. These two-person rooftop tents are perfect for smaller vehicles, like cars and mid-size SUVs, thanks to their light weight (100 pounds) and smaller footprint.
Each features a lightweight aluminum base packed with fiberglass insulation for comfort.
Inside, the Tepui Explorer Series Ayer tent features a fully wrapped, 5/8-inch diameter aluminum A-frame, plus a 2.5-in. thick, high-density foam mattress with a removable, washable cotton cover. The mattress stretches from edge to edge, providing enough room to sleep up to two people comfortably.
There are four large internal pockets to keep your gear organized and out of the way.
Outside, the canopy is constructed from a waterproof 600-denier, 260-gram polyester/cotton blend that’s UV- and mildew-resistant. It’s finished with four large no-seam mesh windows and two skylights with YKK water-resistant zippers, and the canopy can be easily removed from its base via Tepui’s patented ZipperGimp system.

Wow! this is so unique. How can find this? Thanks | tree services
I commend your article very much! You did a great job. Thanks ss5 card
This is greatly amazing! Keep it up usps forwarded
Can the tent be mounted with the entrance to the rear of vehicle? I have a 4 door pick up and would like to mount tent on the roof rack with the entrance from the truck bed.
Yes. You will mount the rails on the bottom of the tent @90 degrees from normal and cut them to fit. But not a major deal. The entrance would likely be from the ground behind the tailgate, depending on length of truck bed.
I just realized my tent has never had the rain cover Andy didn’t realize it until someone pointed it out to me while camping is there any way to get one
What tent model do you have? Worse case scenario you can just use a small tarp, grommet at the corners for a makeshift rain fly. I’ve done that in the past with good results.
