(17 models) ## Buying guides - [Hard shell vs soft shell rooftop tents: a buyer’s guide for importers](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/hard-shell-vs-soft-shell-rooftop-tents/): Hard shell rooftop tents open in about a minute, stay quieter and more aerodynamic on the road and suit premium and rental buyers. Soft shell fold-out tents give more sleeping area per dollar and accept annex rooms, which suits family and entry-level markets. Most distributors stock both, weighted toward the segment their dealers already serve. - [Static vs dynamic load: matching rooftop tents to roof racks](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/rooftop-tent-roof-rack-load-ratings/): Dynamic load is the weight a roof and rack can safely carry while driving; static load is what they can support when parked, including people sleeping in the tent. The tent plus rack must stay within the lowest dynamic rating of the vehicle, the rack and the mounting points. Static capacity is typically several times higher, but you should confirm it with the vehicle and rack makers. - [How to source rooftop tents from a China factory: samples, QC and shipping](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/how-to-source-rooftop-tents-from-china/): Define a written specification, order samples, approve a pre-production sample with your branding, agree an inspection standard such as AQL sampling, and choose Incoterms that match your logistics capability. Most issues in rooftop tent imports come from unclear fabric, zip and packaging specifications rather than from the factory’s ability to build the product. - [270° vs 360° freestanding awnings: what distributors should stock](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/270-vs-360-degree-freestanding-awnings/): A 270° awning wraps the side and rear of the vehicle from one corner and is the best-selling freestanding format. A 360° awning covers all sides but is heavier and needs a strong rack. Straight side awnings are the lightest and cheapest. Most dealers stock a side awning, a 270° in two radii and annex walls. - [Rooftop tent fabrics explained: poly-cotton canvas, Oxford and waterproof ratings](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/rooftop-tent-fabrics-explained/): Poly-cotton canvas (often 280–300 g/m²) breathes, reduces condensation and is quieter in wind, so it suits four-season tents. Oxford polyester (150D–600D) is lighter, dries faster and costs less. Waterproof ratings such as 2000 mm or 3000 mm describe the hydrostatic head of the coating; seams, zips and design matter just as much. - [Roof-mounted water tanks and road showers: PVC, aluminum or PE?](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/blog/roof-mounted-water-tanks-and-road-showers/): Road showers store water in a sealed tank on the roof rack, warm it in the sun and push it out under air pressure from a pump or tyre valve. PVC tube tanks are light and long, aluminum tanks are rugged and premium, and food-grade PE tanks with battery pumps are compact and easy to fill. Choose by capacity, mounting space and target price. ## Projects - [Outback rental fleet: one tent, one awning, every vehicle](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/outback-rental-fleet-rooftop-tent-program/): A standardised hard shell rooftop tent, 270° awning and rack package for a 4WD rental fleet, specified for fast turnaround between hires. - [Nordic winter use: insulating a hard shell for sub-zero nights](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/nordic-winter-hard-shell-tent-specification/): An insulated four-season hard shell rooftop tent configuration with thicker canvas, an inner insulation layer and condensation management for cold climates. - [Dealer showroom launch: building a complete overland range](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/overland-dealer-showroom-range-launch/): Planning a balanced first range for a dealer network — rooftop tents, awnings, water tanks and storage cases — shipped in mixed containers. - [Desert expedition camp: shade, showers and storage in extreme heat](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/desert-expedition-camp-outfitting/): Outfitting desert tour vehicles with soft shell rooftop tents, 270° awnings, shower tents and air conditioning for multi-day dune camps. - [Alpine campervans: adding sleeping space to compact vans](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/alpine-campervan-soft-shell-tent-integration/): Integrating a soft shell rooftop tent and zip-on annex room into a compact campervan conversion to add two sleeping places. - [Private label camp kitchen bundle for an outdoor brand](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/projects/private-label-camp-kitchen-bundle/): A co-branded camp kitchen bundle — roll table, wood BBQ stove, folding chairs and awning LED — developed for an outdoor brand’s online store. ## Company - [About](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/about/): factory, quality control and logistics - [Contact and quote](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/contact/): inquiry form, email and WhatsApp ## Optional - [Full product catalog in plain text](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/llms-full.txt): every model with specifications - [Sitemap](https://www.roof-top-tent-factory.com/sitemap.xml)
