Weighing just 39kg and setting up in approximately 40 seconds, the Rad Apex combines low weight, quick setup and a comfortable double sleeping area in a compact rooftop package. Built using 3500mm waterproof ripstop canvas, with a 30mm foam mattress, washable mattress cover, extendable aluminium ladder and mounting hardware included, the Apex arrives with the essentials you need to get your rooftop camping setup started. Why Choose the Rad Apex Roof Tent? The Rad Apex is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a lightweight roof tent in the UK without sacrificing the convenience and comfort that make rooftop camping so appealing. At only 39kg, it's considerably easier to manage than many larger rooftop tent systems and can be fitted to a wide range of suitable cars, SUVs and 4x4s equipped with compatible roof bars. Once you've reached your destination, the Apex can be set up in around 40 seconds — ideal for touring, road trips and weekends when you don't want to spend valuable time pitching a traditional tent. Lightweight 39kg Roof Tent Weight matters when choosing a rooftop tent. The Rad Apex weighs just 39kg, making it a particularly attractive option for customers searching for a lightweight car roof tent. Its relatively low weight also makes the Apex suitable for a broader range of vehicle setups, although you should always check your vehicle and roof-bar manufacturer's specified load limits before installation. Ready to Sleep in Around 40 Seconds Arrive at your campsite and get settled quickly. The Rad Apex takes approximately 40 seconds to set up, giving you a sheltered sleeping space without poles, separate bedrooms or a lengthy traditional tent-pitching process. It's especially useful for road trips and touring holidays where you may be setting up and packing away camp regularly. Comfortable Double Sleeping Area Inside the Rad Apex is a double sleeping area with an included 30mm foam mattress. The mattress features a washable cover, making it easier to keep your sleeping area clean between camping trips. With your mattress already inside the roof tent, there's less camping equipment to set up when you arrive. Waterproof Ripstop Canvas British camping rarely guarantees perfect weather. The Rad Apex uses durable 3500mm waterproof ripstop canvas to provide protection from the elements while you're away. The canvas is also UV and mould resistant, helping make the Apex suitable for repeated outdoor use and adventures throughout the UK camping season.
