STRATOS ROOF TOP TENT 2000

Most roof top tent buyers have to choose between two compromises. Softshell tents offer generous living space and headroom but usually take longer to set up, while hardshell models deploy quickly but often feel more confined. The DARCHE Stratos removes that compromise with an innovative hybrid design that delivers the spacious interior of a softshell while maintaining the fast setup of a hardshell. Available in 1440mm and 2000mm widths, it is equally at home on compact pickup rack setups or fully equipped family touring vehicles.

Hybrid Design With Spacious Living Area and Fast Setup

The Stratos combines the protection and convenience of a hard shell with the comfort of an expanding softshell body. Once opened, the tent creates a much larger internal living space than a conventional hardshell with the same roof footprint. You get quick deployment, generous headroom, and a compact packed profile that keeps roof storage to a minimum. The 1440mm model is ideal for pickup rack installations, while the wider 2000mm version comfortably accommodates two adults with extra room inside.

Panoramic Windows and Excellent Ventilation

Large wraparound windows surround the tent to provide almost 360 degree views and outstanding airflow. Every window is fitted with fine insect mesh, allowing you to enjoy fresh air throughout the night without unwanted visitors. Whether camping in warm conditions or parked somewhere with incredible scenery, the Stratos makes the most of every location.

Oversized Fly With Built In Sky Window

When the weather turns, the oversized removable fly adds an extra layer of protection over the tent. Unlike many standard fly designs, it includes an integrated sky window that remains usable even while the fly is fully installed. Enjoy views of the stars or wake up to natural light without sacrificing weather protection.

Comfortable Mattress With Moisture Control

The Stratos features a supportive 60mm memory foam mattress sitting on top of a 10mm anti condensation mat. Together they create a comfortable sleeping surface while helping reduce moisture build up beneath the mattress during the night. This combination provides better comfort and dryness across every season, especially during extended trips.

Integrated Dual Colour LED Lighting

Built into the interior is a dual colour dimmable LED light strip that provides practical lighting whenever you need it. Choose warm amber lighting to create a relaxing campsite atmosphere or switch to bright white light when reading or organising your gear. Having lighting already built into the tent keeps your setup clean and eliminates the need for separate lanterns.

Practical Storage Throughout

Handy internal side pockets and an overhead storage net provide plenty of space to keep everyday essentials organised and off the mattress. Two included shoe bags help keep dirt, dust, and mud outside where they belong, making life much easier on longer camping adventures.

Built For Tough Conditions

Constructed from durable 190gsm ripstop polycotton canvas with a 3000mm waterhead rating, the Stratos is built to withstand demanding off road travel. The aluminium alloy shell provides excellent strength while taped seams help prevent water ingress through stitching. Reinforced stitching at all major stress points and self repairing coil zips ensure reliable performance for years of regular use.

Ladder and Roof Rails Included

A 2.3 metre aluminium telescopic ladder connects using quick release pins, making setup and pack down simple. It suits vehicles with a maximum bed base height of 2.2 metres. The included roof rail kit allows you to carry extra gear on top of the tent, while the supplied mounting hardware is compatible with most commercially available flat roof racks and roof rail systems.

Installation Tips

Before installation, always confirm the weight rating and compatibility of both your vehicle and roof rack with the relevant manufacturer. Professional installation through a local 4WD specialist or DARCHE retailer is recommended.
