Tuff Stuff Alpha II Hard-Top Side-Open Tent (Black) — a compact, two-person hardshell rooftop tent built for quick setup, four-season protection, and everyday durability. Ideal for smaller SUVs, wagons, and compact overland builds.

  • Ultra-fast setup: typically under 2 minutes
  • Side-open clamshell design with gas struts
  • 53″ × 78″ mattress (~2.36″ thick) for two adults
  • 280G poly/cotton ripstop tent body with heavy-duty YKK zippers
  • 210D poly-oxford rainfly (PU-coated ~5000 mm)
  • ABS hardshell with aluminum honeycomb floor
  • Three awning-covered windows + mesh screens and a skylight
  • Approx. 141 lb tent weight; ~800 lb rated capacity (people + gear)

Why It’s a Great Fit

Small footprint, big capability. The Alpha II keeps your rig nimble on the road and trail while delivering real comfort at camp. The hard shell shrugs off weather, the side-open layout creates usable space and headroom, and the included rainfly and ripstop fabric handle year-round conditions.

Key Features

  • Travel-Ready: Low-profile ABS shell reduces drag and noise.
  • Liveable Interior: Skylight, three windows with awnings, and full bug mesh for airflow and views.
  • Comfort Built-In: Included foam mattress fits two adults with room for light gear.
  • Trail-Tough: Honeycomb aluminum floor and robust hardware withstand frequent setup/tear-down.
  • Annex Compatible: Optional annex room adds a private ground-level space (sold separately).
