BunduTop
(Vehicle Roo Top Tent)

The tent is complete aluminum construction and a durable Riptech canvas. The tent seals entirely when closed and gives a complete dust/waterproof seal—made with 300gsm Riptech canvas that is UV resistant to prevent fading. The wrap-around awning is at a 45° angle, so you can have ventilation in poor weather with maximum water deflection. The mesh windows are coated in a rubber compound, making them highly flexible and durable. The roof of the BunduTop is a raw aluminum sheet to ensure maximum heat reflection and is the main reason you can sleep more comfortably and cool inside, even in direct sunlight. The 2000lbs Winch Motor lifts and lowers the tent using a 3mm Dyneema Rope on a pulley system. The foam-backed roof-lining absorbs moisture and condensation, but if you camp in extremely cold areas, we recommend putting a piece of carpet under the mattress as insulation to reduce the chance of additional condensation. The frame is built into the bottom of the tent and provides extra strength, and makes it versatile to mount. It can be bolted directly to your load bars or roof rack.

Quick Tip: Taking care of your canvas is easy! Look at the tab stitched inside for instructions on how to care for your canvas correctly.

 Yes, it is not heavy, but it is an awkward shape and will need two people to handle it.

If you experience failure, the tent will be the least of your worries. (those beers will be getting warm!). The tent has a manual override outside, right next to the buttons used to lift/lower the tent. If you must use the manual override, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL BYPASS THE BUILT-IN LIMIT SWITCHES FOR SAFE USE, TELLING IT WHEN TO STOP. Using the overrides means you MUST stop the connection as soon as the tent is tight. In addition, if using the manual override for closing the tent, you will need to stop it when the tent is 3/8 of an inch from being completely shut; you will use the roof latches to complete the rest of the closure. Please note we have only experienced the following faults:

1. The tent does not go up or down:
   1. Check the electric cord to the tent to ensure it has power (if the light inside comes on, the tent has power)
   2. Check to see if the connectors are not corroded (if the connectors are corroded, it will not allow enough current through to drive the winch)
   3. Use the electrical override if all else fails
2. Tent opens but does not close:
   1. Check the limit switch near the winch. The arm on the limit switch might bend over time and not make contact. Bend the arm a little bit down so that the switch makes contact when the belt is tight. The switch will disconnect and stop the winch when the tent closes, and the belt gets slack.
   2. Use the electrical override if all else fails. The other main fault experienced is the customer accidentally forgetting to open a latch. The ropes should snap before any severe damage can happen, but we have had instances where the arms are bent due to over-extension. In this case, you can either straighten the arms or get replacements after removing them. You might have t replace the safety belt on the wench motor if the ropes damage the edge of the belt.

It will still work. The tent’s roof (which weighs +/- 44 pounds) can easily be lifted by one person, who can crawl inside and wedge the corner arms into place. You may need a cable tie to them into that position. Then, gravity will step in and drop it for you when you lower it the following day, and the rain flies will still pull in.

The eyelets don’t wear well. The holes are burnt into the canvas because it’s the most robust way to make the holes. While eyelets make for a better finish, it does not make for a stronger one. Our research suggests that eyelets pose as a weak point and are where tears can originate. This is caused by the crimping tool used to install the eyelet, causing its metal edges to essentially cut into the material it is being installed in, weakening the material on those points.

These patches are simply a strengthening patch placed to ensure that your canvas is enforced on places that take more strain.

 The only extras available are listed above under Available Add-Ons

NO, it is designed to cater to solar panels only

Unfortunately, we don’t carry various options. Still, if you prefer a different mattress, let us know when ordering, and we will exclude the mattress – that way, you can source another mattress better suited for your needs. The maximum thickness allowable is 4-3/4”

You can add additional lights inside the tent by special order only. Adding an extra light to a stock product will result in a damaged roof lining inside your tent. Be aware that the light inside is VERY bright, and a 2nd light is not required.

You can add additional fans above standard when your order is placed. Note: the tent was designed to reflect heat away, and the big windows allow maximum airflow; therefore, adding an additional fan will only improve airflow where there is no wind.

Possibly, custom tents can be ordered up to 116” in length and 63” in width. But note: Any custom size MUST get quoted individually, and those quotes are only valid for 30 days. Custom orders will also require a NON-refundable deposit of 50% before the order is placed. Custom units will also not arrive until the next available container as air freight on an item like this is very costly.

Yes, depending on where the tent is mounted. With a mounting location more forward on your roof rack, it will significantly affect you. There are also variances depending on your vehicle type + mounting application.
