PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Bushwakka Flipside 15 Rooftop Tent is built for travellers who want a compact, low-profile hard-shell tent with fast setup and reliable comfort. Designed for couples or solo adventurers, the Flipside 15 balances strength, weather protection, and smart interior design, making it ideal for touring, weekend getaways, and off-grid travel.
Constructed with an ABS hard shell and an aluminium honeycomb base plate, the Flipside 15 delivers strong structural durability while maintaining a streamlined shape for reduced wind drag. The 600D grey poly-cotton plaid fabric provides excellent weather resistance, complemented by a black anti-wrinkle flysheet for added protection in harsh conditions.
Inside, the tent features a dual-layer sleeping system with a 50mm sponge mattress and a 5mm anti-condensation mat, ensuring comfort and insulation in variable climates. With German STABILUS gas struts, the tent opens smoothly within seconds. Integrated storage pockets, LED lighting, a telescopic ladder, and high-quality YKK zippers make the Flipside 15 a practical and user-friendly rooftop tent for travellers seeking convenience and durability.
