On top of the world, on the top of your car.
Made for adventure travel, the Thule Approach L gives families and long-trip travellers extra sleeping width and headroom. It mounts quickly, opens in under 3 minutes, and puts you high above the ground with panoramic windows and skylights for stargazing.
Quick set up for easy getaways
Innovative, lockable mounting brackets install on your roof bars in minutes — around half the time of traditional rooftop tents. On arrival, unzip the travel cover, unfold the base, and you’re ready to camp in under 3 minutes.
Comfort close to nature
A modern tent shape creates a more spacious interior for you and your kit. Large side windows and roof panels bring the outside in, while the thick dual-layer foam mattress delivers a comfortable night’s sleep. The removable rain cover gives you three weather-protection modes.
