Vehicle-mounted tents are an increasingly popular hybrid camping option that offer large-footprint sleeping quarters and a compact, packed-down form for hassle-free expeditions. The new Thule Outset hitch-mounted car tent takes the concept to new heights, with a unique design and luxury-standard materials.

Constructed for swift setups and mounted elevated above the ground, the Thule Outset hitch-mounted car tent is designed to deliver comfort with minimal effort. Unhook it from the hitch mount and remove the travel cover, and it’s ready to unfold and use.

Setup can be performed by a single person, with smooth wheels to roll it into position and an easy hook-up to the vehicle’s receiver hitch. The Thule Outset hitch-mounted car tent doesn’t impede access to the trunk, with an innovative tilt system incorporated into its mechanism.

This simple yet highly proficient system is enhanced by the option to disconnect the Thule Outset hitch-mounted car tent from the vehicle and deploy it separately. Once set up, the interior space, with enough headroom to sit up, provides ample room for relaxing, along with the 2.7” mattress for a comfortable night’s sleep.

Additional features available with the Thule Outset hitch-mounted car tent include a quick-access rain cover, complementing the elevated design that keeps you away from mud and puddles. On fine days, it comes into its element, with spacious panoramic views surrounding the tent through the doors and windows.

Multiple interior pockets assist with organization, and a locking system is included to secure the tent when heading out on a hike. It’s a carefully considered car tent that reflects Thule’s rigorous development and design standards.
