Adventure starts faster and sleeps better with the Thule Approach Roof Top Tent

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"Setup genuinely takes under three minutes once you know the system, and the dual-density mattress is the kind of sleeping surface that makes you forget you're on top of a vehicle. The panoramic windows are a standout feature — on clear nights we left the rain cover off entirely and fell asleep watching the stars, and when weather came in, the fly handled a full night of heavy rain without a drop getting through."


The best campsites aren't always in campgrounds. Sometimes they're a fire road off the map, a pull-off with a view that stops you mid-drive, or a trailhead you want to wake up at instead of driving to at first light. The Thule Approach Roof Top Tent makes those moments easy — mounting to your roof rack in minutes and opening into a full sleeping setup with a dual-density mattress, 40 inches of interior headroom, and panoramic windows that turn any location into somewhere worth staying.


Thule engineered the Approach to eliminate the friction that slows most overland setups down. Lockable mounting brackets secure the tent to your rack without tools and cut install time in half compared to conventional rooftop tents. Once deployed, the outward-angled entrance and wide floor dimensions — 95 by 51 inches — give two adults genuine room to spread out, with enough length to treat the foot of the tent as a sheltered indoor zone off the ladder. Mesh windows and skylights keep the interior ventilated on warm nights and open up the sky for stargazing when the weather cooperates.


When conditions turn, the removable rain cover deploys quickly across three weather protection modes, handling everything from light drizzle to sustained downpours with equal confidence. Built from 600D polyester ripstop over an aluminum base and rated to 600 pounds static weight capacity, the Approach is a four-season setup designed to go as far as the vehicle beneath it will take you.
