DESCRIPTION
A leader in the industry for 25 years, Eezi-Awn tents are the preferred roof top tent by overland travelers in Africa. On a continent where reliable, quality gear is essential, Eezi-Awn rooftop tents are widely regarded the superior choice.
EEZI-AWN ROOF TOP TENT FEATURES
• Manufactured with heavy-duty rip stop wax impregnated canvas. This fabric is waterproof, yet breathable. Combine this with quality double stitching for an extremely tough and durable, expedition-quality roof top tent.
• The heavy-duty canvas is stretched across a support structure of aluminum bows, which are fixed to a weatherproof polyurethane coated marine-ply flooring. This flooring, along with the anodized aluminum support structure beneath provides excellent strength and rigidity for the tent.
• To maximize comfort, each tent comes with a high-density, fabric covered 2.4" foam mattress. One side is softer than the other to allow you to choose your support preference. This mattress provides an extremely comfortable sleeping surface for "roughing it" out in the wild.
• To aid in the closing of the tent, a unique internal bungee mechanism draws in the sides of the tent in as it is being folded.
• Two internal pockets handy for storing items such as headlamps, vehicle keys, flashlights, eyeglasses, or any other items you might need to access easily in the middle of the night.
• Zip open windows. Both the window and the mosquito netting can be zipped down individually allowing extra ventilation control or the ability to create a clear opening for wildlife viewing and photography as the situation warrants.
• Mosquito mesh protection at both entry doors and window openings.
• 2 built-in air vents. Located at the top on either side of the tent, these vents are covered with mosquito netting to prevent any unwanted "guests" in the night. When used in conjunction with the two large doors at either end of the tent, as well as the two side windows, the user has the ultimate control of temperature and ventilation within the tent.
• retractable anodised aluminum ladder.
MORE INFO
• Studies have shown that most traditional backpacking tents, with their thin nylon walls are only capable of warming the inside of a tent to about 10 degrees above ambient temperature in cold weather. The thicker canvas found on Eezi Awn roof top tents provides far superior insulating properties, allowing for a much warmer night's sleep for those cold nights in the mountains.
• Badge stitching is done with the finest quality wax coated yarn, which swells when wet and closes holes that may arise during the sewing process.
• The Eezi-Awn 1600 comes with a waterproof PVC cover which protects the roof top tent while in transit. This heavy duty cover effectively seals out the elements, while also keeping potentially harmful tree branches and overhangs at bay on the trail.
• Closure of the PVC travel cover is a simple yet elegant design. The system features a first of its kind, a quick-release, ratchet assist closing mechanism. The side tensioning straps, which combined with the closing mechanism, help to minimize the "ballooning" effect of the cover when driven at highway speeds.
• For ease of installation, each tent comes with an innovative Eezi-Awn tent fastening system pre-installed. This system consists of a series of four anodized aluminum slide rails fastened securely near the outside perimeter of the bottom of the tent. The tent is held in place by the use of a bolt which is held captive by a slide plate. This innovative solution allows for easy installation and removal of the roof top tent (a huge advantage for those who camp seasonally or use your vehicle as a daily work vehicle)
• To install the tent on the Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack or load bars, you simply take the provided mounting hardware, slide it into position along the rail and bolt on to the Front Runner tent mounting feet. For other roof racks or load bars it may be necessary to drill some holes and attach the tent with the included bolts and nylock nuts.
See the installation guide in DOWNLOADS for more info.
All hardware is a combination of stainless steel and anodized aluminum.
