About this product
The Thule Basin Wedge Tent is a 2-person, 3-season rooftop tent that doubles as a cargo carrier when not in use. Its hard shell is constructed from ABS and aluminum, balancing durability with aerodynamic efficiency to help preserve fuel economy on the road. The interior features a 3-inch sleeping pad with a removable, washable cover, and the cotton-polyester blend fabric provides waterproof coverage with a rain protection rating of 4 out of 5. Inside, 32 square feet of floor space (81 by 51 inches) accommodates two sleepers, while the 37-inch interior height allows comfortable movement even during inclement weather. An additional 23 square feet of vestibule area offers organized gear storage. No-see-um mesh ventilation supports breathability on warm nights, and the single-wall design keeps the packed size manageable at roughly 84 by 55 by 13 inches closed, with a packed weight of approximately 192 pounds. An included ladder simplifies entry and exit, and the tent is backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.

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.
