The TentBox Lite 2.0 is the lightest model in the TentBox range, designed to suit smaller vehicles while maintaining the same durability and ease of use found across the series. This guide covers installation, setup, and performance in regular use, helping you get the best from the Lite 2.0 in all seasons.
The Lite 2.0 is compatible with most standard roof bars rated for a dynamic load of at least 55 kg. Its folded weight of 62 kg makes it accessible to smaller vehicles, such as hatchbacks, estates, and compact SUVs.
Mounting is achieved with the supplied bracket system. Check that the spacing between roof bars allows the fixing plates to sit flat and secure. Once installed, the tent can remain fitted year-round due to its weatherproof construction and corrosion-resistant hardware.
Always confirm your vehicle’s roof load capacity, including the tent and any additional accessories.
The TentBox Lite 2.0 uses a fold-out soft shell design, allowing quick deployment in under two minutes.
Remove the protective travel cover.
Release the compression straps.
Pull down the ladder to open the tent.
Extend the poles to tension the fabric roof and awnings.
Setup requires minimal effort and can be completed by one person, though lifting assistance is recommended when first mounting the tent to the vehicle.
The sleeping area accommodates two adults comfortably. Inside, the high-density foam mattress sits on an insulated baseboard, providing consistent comfort across the surface.
Multiple mesh windows and a roof vent maintain airflow while keeping insects out. Storage pockets are fitted on both sides for small essentials.
Lighting can be added using a portable LED system or USB-powered strip light, which can be mounted along the roof poles without tools.
The Lite 2.0 uses ripstop polyester canvas with a 3000 mm waterproof rating, combined with a reinforced floor panel. The poles are aluminium, keeping overall weight low while maintaining strength in wind.
The travel cover is made from PVC-coated polyester, providing protection from UV and road debris when the tent is packed away. All seams are heat-sealed to prevent water ingress.
Designed primarily for three-season use, the Lite 2.0 performs well in rain and moderate wind conditions. In colder climates, adding an internal liner or thermal blanket can improve insulation.
The elevated sleeping position helps prevent ground moisture and cold transfer, while the canopy design allows effective rain runoff during overnight showers.
After use, ensure the canvas is dry before refitting the cover to prevent condensation or mildew.
Check mounting bolts periodically for tightness, particularly after long journeys. Clean the fabric with mild detergent and avoid solvents that may degrade the waterproof coating.
The TentBox Lite 2.0 offers an efficient, low-weight solution for vehicle camping. Its fold-out structure, fast setup, and compact storage size make it suitable for everyday vehicles and regular weekend use.
