About this product
The Thule Basin Wedge Tent is a 2-person rooftop tent designed for 3-season weekend camping, with the added versatility of functioning as a cargo carrier when the mattress is removed. Its hard shell is constructed from ABS and aluminum, a combination that supports both long-term durability and vehicle aerodynamics to help maintain fuel efficiency on the road. The interior fabric is a cotton-polyester blend that provides waterproof coverage, and no-see-um mesh ventilation keeps airflow comfortable during warmer nights. A built-in 3-inch sleeping pad with a removable cover adds comfort and makes cleaning straightforward. The floor space measures 32 square feet (81 by 51 inches), with 37 inches of interior height offering enough room to sit upright comfortably. A 23-square-foot vestibule area provides dedicated storage space. The tent features a single door, two vestibule poles, and an included ladder for easy entry and exit. Packed dimensions are 84.25 by 55.11 by 13 inches, with a packed weight of 192 pounds. A limited lifetime warranty is included.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Thule Basin Wedge for its rugged, rock-solid ABS hardshell construction, its sub-minute setup time, and its unique ability to double as a cargo carrier when the canopy is removed. The comfortable 3-inch mattress and minimal aerodynamic impact on fuel economy are also recurring highlights. The most common complaints center on its significant weight (around 156 lbs or more), making installation onto a vehicle a multi-person job requiring a capable roof rack. Expert testers note that the interior headroom feels surprisingly low given the tent's exterior bulk, and that closing the tent on taller vehicles can be awkward without a bungee-cord wall system found on competing models. At roughly $2,999, it is considered mid-range for hardshell rooftop tents, and best suited to serious overlanders with powerful vehicles.
