PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Bushwakka Flipside 19 Rooftop Tent is a spacious, hard-shell touring tent built for travellers who need extra room without giving up fast setup or durability. With a larger footprint than the Flipside 15, it’s ideal for couples or small families wanting a strong, weather-resistant tent that’s simple to use on long trips.
Built with an ABS hard shell and aluminium honeycomb base plate, the Flipside 19 is engineered for strength while keeping a low, aerodynamic profile on your roof. The 600D grey polyester–cotton canvas and black anti-wrinkle flysheet provide excellent protection from harsh Australian weather, while hidden ventilation windows and a skylight help reduce condensation and maintain airflow.
Inside, the dual-layer mattress system, integrated LED lighting, storage pockets and telescopic ladder create a comfortable, convenient space that opens in seconds and packs away easily.
