car roof top tents

Ah, the car roof top tent: the pinnacle of camping laziness and peak practicality. These bad boys bolt onto your roof racks, turning your car into a mobile penthouse suite that lets you sleep above the creepy crawlies and questionable ground conditions. You’re looking at setups with pop-up or fold-out designs, often made with waterproof canvas and aluminium frames. Prices range from a wallet-friendly AUD 1,500 for basic models to over AUD 5,000 for luxury versions with annexes and mattresses. Used ones can be found on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for a fraction of that, but check for wear and tear on the fabric and frame. Perfect for weekend warriors and off-road adventurers who prefer their camping with a dash of altitude and a pinch of smugness.
